What happened
Shifts in market expectations regarding the stance of U.S. monetary policy are influencing global financial conditions, including those in the euro area. This is observed as investors assess the scope for further tightening by the Federal Reserve amid softer U.S. economic readings, such as retail sales declining in July. This sentiment has weighed on emerging market currencies. In the broader emerging market context, inflows improved from June, though foreign investors continued to withdraw from Chinese equities and debt markets.
Why it matters
The consensus among empirical literature is that U.S. monetary policy shocks are transmitted strongly to euro area financial conditions. This means that policy reassessments in the United States are unlikely to remain confined to the domestic economy, impacting global financial stability.
Geo-economic fragmentation, geopolitical tensions, and trade barriers are impacting emerging markets and leading to the weakening of multilateral institutions.
