The ‘bubble of everything’ deflates

Barring a sharp recovery in the final quarter, calendar 2022 looks like being a very difficult year for investors in the Asian region. Although this is true for most global markets and asset classes this year, we are cognisant that Asia has had a particularly difficult time in the past five years. But as we look into next year and beyond, there are many reasons to be optimistic. We expect improved activity resulting from the eventual re-opening of China along with Hong Kong will provide some positive momentum to offset likely further weakness in developed economies. We also see deep value emerging in South Korea, and several markets across the region have shown resilience, including some ASEAN countries and India, in the face of weak sentiment elsewhere.

Divergent results highlight the opportunity in emerging markets

Looking at the recent divergent country results across emerging markets highlights why investors should not view them as a homogenous block. There are almost always opportunities for investors. By the end of the September 2022 quarter, global emerging markets had crossed into the longest bear market since the MSCI EM Equities index creation in 1988 (590 days and -40% from the February 2021 peak).

This is no ‘vanilla’ market correction

While the market weakness of the past six months or so might seem like a ‘vanilla’ market correction, it would be a mistake to think in those terms given the tumultuous changes that have occurred in global bond markets, with all manner of long-term downtrends being broken. In Australia, the pattern of lower bond rate cycle lows and lower cycle highs has been decisively broken and yields on 10-year bonds have risen to levels seen a decade ago.
