GS Bits & Bobs
This report covers the performance of EM equities, highlighting a strong 2Q26 followed by consolidation and shifting macro headwinds. It provides specific tactical views on South Africa and Brazil, and analyzes the impact of China's competitive pressure on European markets.
Emerging Markets saw a significant 2Q26 gain, though momentum is currently challenged by a hawkish Federal Reserve, rising USD, and volatility in commodity-heavy markets. The desk advocates for active exposure, specifically identifying South Africa as undervalued and Brazil as a preferred overweight despite ongoing election-related macro risks. Separately, the report notes that European companies facing competition from China continue to experience earnings-driven underperformance, though their current valuations are already heavily discounted.
