Emerging Market Currency Roil Deepens While Dollar Extends Gains
Emerging market currencies are getting crushed even as the rally in U.S. dollar continues to firm up.
Declining for the fifth time in six days, the MSCI Emerging Markets Currency Index plunged to its lowest level in more than a year. The rand, lira, Argentine peso among other currencies extend declines amidst their respective domestic economic chaos - including South Africa’s land-reform bill, Turkey’s high inflation concerns and Argentina's fiscal uncertainties .
The U.S. dollar, on the other hand, rose for the fourth day, in a rising interest rate environment and following U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on an additional $200 billion on imported Chinese goods by Thursday.
