"Emerging markets face oil shock differentiation with energy exporters outperforming importers. China well-positioned with strategic reserves and innovation focus."
Executive Summary
Emerging markets declined over 13% in March as Middle East conflict disrupted oil supply, creating stagflation fears and market fragility. The manager maintains a differentiated regional approach based on energy exposure. China is viewed favorably due to strategic oil reserves, alternative Russian supply, and strong innovation capabilities, positioning it as a rational economic counterbalance to the US. AI themes drove Taiwan and Korea to new highs on $700 billion capex, though the manager expects healthy corrections in valuations. Oil importing Asian economies face significant headwinds, with India particularly vulnerable given high energy import dependence and premium valuations. Brazil remains overweight with diesel subsidies providing near-term support, while Malaysia is preferred in ASEAN given net energy exporter status. The manager expects continued volatility if conflict extends, with central banks responding with policy agility. Portfolio positioning reflects energy exposure dynamics, maintaining constructive views on China's technological advancement while taking profits in rate-sensitive names.
