Emerging markets November foreign inflows most since June 2021 - IIF

Finance MARKET_WATCH

Foreigners dumped the most cash into emerging market portfolios in November than any month since June 2021 even as Chinese debt continues to see outflows, the Institute of International Finance (IIF) said on Thursday.

Overall, foreign investors added $37.4 billion to emerging market portfolios last month, with fixed income attracting $14.4 billion in the strongest monthly inflows so far this year.

 

Flows to Chinese equities also posted their largest monthly increase this year at $8.5 billion, but Chinese debt continued to see outflows that now total almost $77 billion in 2022.

 

"Non-resident investor flows to China have essentially ground to a halt, which is consistent with anecdotes we pick up from market participants who have become more attuned to geopolitical risk," said IIF economist Jonathan Fortun in a report alongside the flows data.

China this week eased COVID-19 quarantine rules in a major policy adjustment which could reverse the flow of cash back into portfolios in the world's second-largest economy.

 

Chinese stock indexes have had a rough year, and the low prices have enticed investors even before the new COVID rules. Shanghai stocks rose nearly 9% last month and are down 12% YTD while Hong Kong, down 17% so far in 2022, added 27% last month alone. The China MSCI index, priced in dollars, rose almost 30% in November.

 

The yuan gained 3% last month against the dollar but remains down near 9% this year, still on track for the largest yearly losses in almost three decades.

IIF regional data showed an inflow of $25.6 billion to Asia, while Latin America took in some $8.2 billion, the most since March, and emerging Europe another $3.2 billion. Africa and the Middle East took in $0.4 billion in the first positive reading since March.
