  • Investment money is flowing into developing countries at a pace not seen before, as growing friction between the United States and Europe pushes the dollar lower and prompts investors worldwide to look for alternatives. Stock markets in emerging economies continued their climb on Friday, with major indexes posting gains for the fifth week in a row. This marks the longest stretch of weekly increases since May. So far in 2026, these markets have jumped 7%, far outpacing the S&P 500's modest 1% rise. Technology companies in Asia have been driving much of this rally, while stocks in Latin America have surged even more dramatically with a 13% gain this year. China signals support as markets reach new highs Markets received an encouraging signal when China's central bank set its daily yuan rate above the key 7-per-dollar threshold for the first time in more than two years. This move showed officials are comfortable with the yuan's recent strength. Meanwhile, South Africa's main stock index was headed for its third straight weekly gain, while gold prices hovered just below $5,000 per ounce. The shift represents a historic moment for emerging markets, with their main stock index reaching an all-time high. While Asian technology stocks initially led the charge, other regions are now catching up fast. The benchmark covering Europe, the Middle East and Africa climbed every day this week and is tracking toward its strongest month since 2020. Latin America's stock index hit its highest point since 2018 on Thursday and added another 0.8% on Friday. Tensions over Greenland, though somewhat eased for now, have raised fresh doubts about American dominance and the dollar's global standing. This has pushed funds from Europe to India to reduce their holdings in U.S. Treasury bonds. The trend is adding fuel to an emerging market rally already powered by strong worldwide economic growth, massive spending on artificial intelligence technology, and political changes across Latin America, along with responsible budget and monetary policies in many developing nations. "People are looking to diversify away from US assets, and I would kind of describe it as quiet-quitting of US bonds," said Katie Koch, who heads TCW Group Inc., speaking on Bloomberg Television. "I don't think there's going to be a massive announcement, I just think they're going to look for opportunities to diversify away." Currencies strengthen as gold purchases continue Currency markets tell a similar story. The Brazilian real and the pesos of Colombia and Chile have all strengthened by more than 3% in 2026. Poland's central bank, identified as the world's largest reported gold purchaser, announced plans on Tuesday to buy an additional 150 tons of the precious metal. The numbers are striking. The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF, a $135 billion fund that buys emerging market stocks, has pulled in over $6.5 billion just in January. This puts it on pace for the biggest monthly influx since the fund started in 2012. "EM assets are one of the key beneficiaries from stronger global growth," wrote Oliver Harvey, a strategist at Deutsche Bank in London. "And when opportunities to express a positive growth view have been constrained in developed markets, the outlook is even more bullish for EM." However, the pace of investment into emerging markets can slow when global tensions rise, partly because there are fewer developing nation assets available compared to the United States. The total value of emerging markets stands at roughly $36 trillion, about half the size of the $73 trillion U.S. market. Some investors may still favor U.S. markets as attention returns to the growth gap with Europe after the recent period of heightened stress, according to Citigroup Inc. strategists Rohit Garg and Gordon Goh. "That said, the de-dollarization and fiscal profligacy themes are back," they noted. "De-dollarization has the potential to impact EM risk premia in a positive way, as was the case in 2025."
