What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

In September 2026, Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc reported that its NAV total return increased by 1.9%, slightly outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Total Return GBP Index. The month was characterized by rising energy prices and inflationary fears, leading to many equity markets weakening, though technology, Brazil, and Colombia bucked this trend. Brent crude oil rose 14.4% to USD 103.53/bbl, and the Federal Reserve raised its target interest rate by 25 basis points.
