Markets continue to perform bullishly, stringing together a sixth day of gains on Monday. If Tuesday follows suit, markets will stretch out a line of positive closes stacking up against an inevitable down day, sooner or later. The question is whether markets will cross the 20-DMA: A pullback to 6,260 would not be surprising at all. WHEN that happens, we'll look next to the 50-DMA at around 6,280 and to the 200-DMA below that at 5,870. All that to say, there is some downside risk to the market. Meanwhile, Emerging Markets are improving, but still trading sideways; as money flows head back into the U.S. Emerging Markets and Gold are tending to lag the S&P. Money flows are always looking to where they'll get appreciation. Right now, Stocks are doing that trick very well.

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast: (1) A gunman killed at least four people and himself at an office tower that houses Blackstone Inc., Rudin Management, the National Football League and KPMG among others, sparking hours of chaos and fear in Midtown Manhattan on Monday evening. (2) The European Union dodged an imminent trade war with the US this week, but markets and a growing chorus of critics have dispelled early hopes that the deal will bring a sense of stability back to transatlantic relations. (3) Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said a 90-day extension of a trade truce with China was a likely outcome with negotiations between the two countries underway in Stockholm. (4) President Donald Trump said he would shorten his timeline for Russian leader Vladimir Putin to reach a truce with Ukraine or face potential economic penalties, heightening pressure on Moscow to bring the fighting to a halt. (5) The rising price of products such as tea and meat pushed UK food inflation to its highest level in 17 months, as retailers blamed the Labour government’s first budget for driving up costs. (6) Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been urged by a group of economists including Thomas Piketty to implement a wealth tax they claim can raise tens of billions of pounds for the UK treasury.Podcast Conversation: Boxing, Backflipping Robots Rule at China’s Biggest AI Summit See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Could be in the early stages of a re-weighting into EM Emerging Market (EM) equities have outperformed the S&P 500 so far this year. The weaker US dollar has furnished a number of positives for EM assets, from cheaper funding to less imported inflation to a more attractive carry trade. David Hauner discusses the various positives ahead, including superior economic growth, central bank cutting cycles and the possibility of a lengthy dollar decline. David also discusses EM credit which has seen buying from US investment grade and high yield funds attracted to compelling yields. One of the main risks to this bullish view is a significant deterioration in global trade. So far, however, trade numbers look good and should things deteriorate enough to warrant Fed rate cuts, the dollar could weaken further, bolstering relative performance for EM.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

What happens when an emerging‑markets banker, lifelong Reddit degen, and early Ethereum believer builds a global crypto fund focused on AI? Meet Matthew “Matty” Graham, Managing Partner at Ryze Labs.Matty shares how a pizza post pulled him into Bitcoin, why the Ethereum whitepaper was his “drop everything” moment, and how Ryze helps founders reach 2B+ users across emerging markets through its “global + local” team model.We dig into the big ideas: AI agents as economic actors that must transact on open, programmable ledgers; stablecoins as the clearest current use case; why meme speculation crowds out real adoption; and why every startup should obsess over its first 5–7 real super fans (not airdrop farmers).We also hit culture clashes (AI vs crypto), institutional entry, tech history, data privacy (your ChatGPT logs are more revealing than your Google search history), and what Matty would do if launching Ryze today.Not investment advice.Key Timestamps[00:00:00] Introduction: Sam tees up Ryze Labs, AI + crypto, and future signals. [00:01:00] Origin story: Reddit pizza, early Bitcoin, failed 2013 banker pitch, curiosity grows. [00:02:30] Ethereum moment: Programmable money snaps it wide open for Matty. [00:04:00] Banker to degen: Emerging markets + appetite for the “wild west.” [00:05:00] What is Ryze Labs: Global fund with local experts across key emerging markets. [00:06:30] Why AI + crypto: Digital agents will transact value; legacy rails can't scale. [00:08:00] Real PMFs so far: Stablecoins & thinly disguised gambling; AI could be next. [00:09:30] Stablecoin utility: Paying global teams when Stripe/PayPal fail. [00:10:30] Tech history lens: Hardware waves unlock software waves; AI feels similar. [00:12:00] Data intensity: You'd leak Google history before ChatGPT chats — privacy matters. [00:14:00] AI for health: Matty's coffee/acid anecdote shows practical value already. [00:16:30] Work futures: New roles (prompt skill!), humans reorganize around tech. [00:21:00] Super fans first: 5–7 paying evangelists > vanity metrics. [00:23:00] Incentive traps: Points & airdrops mask real product‑market fit. [00:25:00] Trends check: Utility underhyped; meme/points meta overweight. [00:26:30] Institutional adoption: East‑coast style (ETFs) vs tech‑driven engagement. [00:29:00] If starting today: Split team across AI hubs (SF, Hangzhou) + emerging market depth.

In this second compilation focused on emerging markets, we revisit conversations featuring three investors who are channeling substantial capital into regions where others hesitate to go – and they're doing it with discipline, innovation, and deep local insight.Each of these guests brings a different strategy and perspective, but all are working toward the same goal: building sustainable, scalable businesses that meet the needs of underserved communities.And they're doing it in ways that challenge the old assumptions: that impact comes at the expense of return, that emerging markets are too volatile to be investable, or that scalable solutions must come from the West.Here are the featured voices:Sandeep Farias, Founder and Managing Partner of Elevar EquityElevar backs what they call entrepreneurial households – more than 50 million families across emerging markets who've moved beyond the bottom of the pyramid. While they're making economic progress, they still lack access to the products and services that support their ambitions and daily lives.Sandeep and his team take a bottom-up, equity-focused approach to identify the “core solutions” these families prioritize – like education, healthcare, and agriculture – and invest in entrepreneurs building businesses to serve them.With five funds deployed across India and Latin America, Elevar stays close to both customers and founders, spending time in the field to understand how people live, what they value, and where capital can make the greatest difference.Full episode  Rochus Mommartz, the CEO of responsAbilityRochus leads responsAbility – one of the world's largest dedicated impact asset managers, with $5 billion under management and more than $15 billion deployed across emerging markets since inception.His team doesn't start with products. They start with problems – like the 500 million people in Africa who still lack electricity, or the small businesses across Asia and Latin America that can't get financing. Then they find the companies solving those problems and shape capital to support their growth.Rochus draws a clear line between real and perceived risk. Emerging markets aren't short on opportunity – they're just often misunderstood by investors who rely too much on spreadsheets and not enough on what's actually happening on the ground.Check out the full interview: Part 1Part 2Sugandhi Matta, Chief Impact Officer at ABC ImpactSugandhi helped launch ABC Impact with backing from Temasek and Temasek Trust – and helped shape it into the largest Pan-Asian private equity fund dedicated to impact.From the start, her focus has been on building a strategy rooted in Asia's realities – not imported from somewhere else. That meant starting with evidence: mapping the region's most urgent needs, identifying where scalable solutions could take hold, and designing an impact framework from the ground up.ABC now manages close to $1 billion across sectors like healthcare, financial inclusion, sustainable food, and climate resilience. They back mission-driven founders solving problems they've lived – and who have the resilience and discipline to scale.Full episode—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I connect across the Atlantic with Ahmed Refky, CEO of Planovate — an advisory firm based in Orlando, Florida, specializing in the CX and BPO sectors. With more than 25 years of global experience, Ahmed brings a wealth of insights on growth strategies, market entry, offshoring, and scaling for companies seeking to expand their customer experience operations.Drawing from his recent visit to Georgia, a rising star among emerging outsourcing destinations, Ahmed outlines the fundamentals of how markets - both new and mature - can position themselves to attract clients and investors. He stresses the importance of defining a clear value proposition, building strong people-first teams, and developing credible client references before profitability.We explore two key scenarios: how emerging destinations can become visible to global investors, and how established service providers can assess when and where to expand. From nailing down go-to-market strategies to balancing nearshore and offshore models, Ahmed provides practical frameworks based on real-world consulting experience.Crucially, Ahmed reminds us: “Relationships can't be built behind screens.” He urges stakeholders to blend physical presence with digital engagement, and avoid the trap of overselling. Whether you're a country looking to attract FDI or a BPO aiming to scale abroad, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways.Tune in for strategic insights, market dynamics, and real-world success stories that can help guide your next move in the global CX and BPO landscape.  Key points of the podcast:Identifying and focusing on a clear value proposition is crucial for both emerging destinations and service providers to attract and retain clients effectively.Building strong, face-to-face relationships and understanding cultural affinities are essential components for successful client engagement and business growth.Overselling capabilities can damage trust and reputation, making it vital to accurately represent what can be realistically delivered.  Links:Ahmed Refky on Linkedin – https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmedrefky/Planovate - https://www.planovate.com/Talk to AI about this episode - https://gmbw.onpodcastai.com/episodes/nznooWH2LTo/chat  ****************************  My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club https://klub.proprogressio.pl - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Our Chief Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang discusses whether demand for U.S. stocks has fallen and where fund flows are surging. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Cross-Asset Strategist.Today – is the demand for U.S. assets declining? Let's look at the recent trends in global investment flows.It's Wednesday, July 9th at 1pm in New York.The U.S. equity market has reached an all-time high, but at the same time lingering uncertainty about U.S. trade and tariff policies is forcing global investors to consider the riskiness of U.S. assets. And so the big question we need to ask is: are investors – particularly foreign investors – fleeing U.S. assets?This question comes from recent data around fund flows to global equities. And we have to acknowledge that demand for U.S. stocks overall has declined, going by high-frequency data. But at the same time, we think this idea is exaggerated. So why is that? As many listeners know, fund flows – which represent the net movement of money into and out of various investment vehicles like mutual funds and ETFs – are an important gauge of investor sentiment and market trends. So what are fund flows really telling us about investors' sentiment towards U.S. equities? It would be nice to get an unequivocal answer, but of course, the devil is always in the details. And the problem is that different data sources and frequencies across different market segments don't always lead to the same conclusions. Weekly data across global equity ETF and mutual funds from Lipper show that international investors were net buyers through most of April and May. But the pace of buying has slowed year-to-date versus 2024. Still, it remains much higher than during the same period in 2021 through 2023. Treasury TIC data point to something similar – a slowdown in foreign demand, but not significant net selling. So where are the flows going, if not to the U.S.? They are going to the rest of the world, but more particularly, Europe. Europe stocks, in fact, have been the biggest beneficiary of decreasing flows to the U.S. Nearly $37 billion U.S. has gone into Europe-focused equity funds year-to-date. This is significantly higher than the run-rates over the prior five years. What's more notable here is that year-to-date, flows to European-focused ETFs and mutual funds dominated those targeting Japan and Emerging Markets. This suggests that Europe is now the premier destination for equity fund flows, with very little demand spillovers to other regions' equity markets.These shifts have yet to show up in the allocation data, which tracks how global asset managers invest in stocks regionally. Global equity funds' portfolio weights to Rest-of-the-World has gone up by roughly the same amount as allocation to the U.S. has come down. But allocation to the U.S. has actually gone down by roughly the same amount, as its share in global equity indices; which means that If allocation to the U.S. has changed, it's simply because the U.S. is now a smaller part of equity indices. Meanwhile, an estimated U.S.$9 billion from Rest-of-the World went into international equity funds, which excludes U.S. stocks altogether. Granted, it's not a lot; but scaled for fund assets, it's the highest net flows international equities have seen. In other words, some investors are choosing to invest in equities excluding U.S. altogether. These trends are unlikely to reverse as long as lingering policy uncertainty dampens demand for U.S.-based assets. But as we've argued in our mid-year outlook, there are very few alternative markets to the U.S. dollar markets right now. U.S. stocks might start to see less marginal flows from foreign investors – to the benefit of Rest-of-the-World equities, especially Europe. But demand is unlikely to dry up completely over the next 12 months. Thanks for listening.

Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Equity Strategist Jonathan Garner explains why Indian equities are our most preferred market in Asia.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jonathan Garner, Morgan Stanley's Chief Asia Equity Strategist. Today I'll discuss why we remain positive on India's long-term equity story.It's Tuesday, the 24th of June at 9am in Singapore.We've had a long-standing bullish outlook on the India economy and its stock market. In the last five years MSCI India has delivered a total return in U.S. dollars of 145 percent versus 94 percent for global equities and just 39 percent for emerging markets. Indian equities are our most preferred market within Asia for three key reasons. First, India's superior economic and earnings growth. Second, lower exposure to trade tariffs. And third, a strong domestic investor base. And all of this adds up to structural outperformance not just in Asia but indeed globally, and with significantly lower volatility than peer group markets. So let's dive deeper. To start with – the macroeconomic backdrop. We expect India to account for 20 percent of overall incremental global GDP growth in the coming decade. Manufacturing competitiveness is improving thanks to bolstered infrastructure in power, ports, roads, freight transport systems as well as investments in social infrastructure such as water, sewage and hospitals. Additionally, India's growing middle class offers market opportunities to companies across many product categories. There's robust domestic consumption, a strong investment cycle led by public and private capital expenditure and continuing structural reforms, including in the legal sphere. GDP growth in the first quarter was more than 7 percent and our team expects over 6 percent in the medium term, which would be by far the highest of the major economies. Furthermore, we continue to expect robust corporate earnings growth. Since the end of COVID, MSCI India has delivered around 12 percent per annum [U.S.] dollar earnings per share growth versus low single digits for Emerging Markets overall. And we forecast 14 percent and 16 percent over the next two fiscal years. Growth drivers in the short term include an emerging private CapEx cycle, re-leveraging of corporate balance sheets, and a structural rise in discretionary consumption – signaling increased business and consumer confidence, after last year's elections. Another key reason that we're positive on India currently is its lower-than-average vulnerability to ongoing trade and tariff disputes between the U.S. and its trade partners. Exports of goods to the U.S. amount to only 2 percent of India's GDP versus, for example, 10 percent in Thailand or 14 percent in Taiwan. And India's total goods exports are only around 12 percent of GDP. Moreover, for the time being, India's very large services sector's exports are not exposed to tariff actions, and are actually early beneficiaries of AI adoption. Finally, India's strong individual stock ownership means that there's persistent retail buying, which underpins the equity market. Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) flows driven by a young urbanizing population are making new highs, and in May amounted to over U.S.$3 billion. They provide consistent capital inflows. That means that this domestic bid on stocks is unlikely to fade anytime soon. This provides a strong foundation for the market and supports valuations which are slightly above emerging market averages. It also means that its market beta to global equities are low and falling, approximately 0.4 versus 1.1 ten years ago. And price volatility is well below other emerging markets. All told, making India an attractive play in volatile times. Thanks for listening.
