Emerging Markets React to US-Iran Tensions and US Economic Data
Emerging-market currencies and stocks showed mixed movements amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and upcoming US inflation data. One report noted weakening currencies due to fading hopes of a US-Iran deal and rising oil prices, while another highlighted gains in emerging markets following weak US employment data that eased expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes. Brent crude prices rose above $84-$87 per barrel amid Middle East uncertainties, with market focus shifting to US consumer price index data later this week for policy direction.
