Capital Flows to EM 2013

2013 saw another net outflow of money from EM Financal assets. We reckon around US$31 billion left EM stocks, bonds and credit markets last year. This compares to a net outflow of US$166 billion in 2012 and a net outflow of US$21 billion in 2011. For the record 2009 and 2010 were big positive years for EM seeing nearly US$600 billion flow in. We may be near the bottom in some EM markets.

In short, we should still wait a little before venturing back.

As previously argued, 'Risk On' phases typically see large pro-cyclical inflows into EM. 2013 is stacking up to be 'good'.

Money Quits Japan

by Michael J. Howell28. November 2012 13:30

Latest October capital flow data show an acceleration in money flows leaving Japan. This may be due to the upcoming Elections and expectations of monetary easing. Notwithstanding, it is a stark contrast both to recent patterns and evodence from other major economies. It likely helps to explain recent Yen weakness.
