About this work

Reuters reports that emerging markets saw $46.1 billion in net foreign equity outflows in June, led by South Korea and Taiwan, even as bonds drew $28.3 billion. Jonathan Fortun, IIF chief economist, wrote in the monthly report that investors remain willing to lend to emerging markets but are less willing to add broad equity risk. He attributed the equity cuts to higher global discount rates, China uncertainty, weaker earnings confidence and tech and energy positioning.
