Zonebourse (Reuters, French translation) · Quoted expert Original title: L'exode des actions asiatiques entraîne les plus fortes sorties de capitaux des marchés émergents depuis 2020, selon l'IIF
Fortun describes March's capital flight as concentrated in Asian equities rather than a general emerging-market funding freeze, and explains how a prolonged Iran war could worsen the outflows.
Fortun describes March portfolio outflows as concentrated in Asian equities after the outbreak of war in Iran. He distinguishes this selling from a generalized funding stop and explains how a prolonged conflict could make flows harder to stabilize.
Fortun attributes pressure on emerging-market portfolio flows to fears of recession, inflation, tighter monetary conditions and geopolitical risk. Reuters separates renewed Chinese inflows from withdrawals elsewhere in the third consecutive month of net selling.
An IIF analysis coauthored by Fortun identifies unusual capital outflows from China after Russia's invasion of Ukraine while cautioning that it is too early to call the shift structural.
