Of course, emerging markets, at the moment of a potential risk factor is the asset prices and inflation spiralling out of control, and the resulting policy tightening pressure.

This aspiration gold record again

In 2009, as the global economy that the recession, the stock market rebounded from the bottom of the Jedi. In this emerging stock markets play a very important role. Because of the crisis in the direct impact is relatively small, the fundamentals of better emerging market funds attracted a record.

Although the 2010 year is believed to be more complex for a year, but global investors on the emerging markets of preference continues unabated. Professional bodies, as of late last month, the inflow of funds in emerging markets have been more than a year.

United States Fund tracking study institutions EPFR statistics show that as of 24 November one week, the tracking of various global equity fund $ 4 billion net inflow of funds, one of the most, about 24 billion into the emerging markets equity fund. It also makes this year so far, emerging markets equity fund of funds net inflows reached 843 million, exceeded the record of 2009 833 million.

Money surged into the back of the holder is stock index.

Furthermore, India and Singapore's main stock market stock index rose more than 9%.

Fidelity International well-known Fund Manager, author of "United Kingdom Buffett" Anthony · Bolton notes that current, overall valuation of emerging markets is still at a relatively low level. He said, from statistical data, from 1990 to 2000, global emerging markets in the value of the price-earnings ratio is approximately 25 times, and from 2000, of this decade, the emerging markets of the price-earnings ratio of the value of only 15 times, and the current stock market is still in the median level.

Institutions competing to sing well next year

It is interesting to note that in recent days, the world's leading investment firms are competing to publish sing good emerging markets report and forecast. Even the relatively conservative estimates, or have 19%.

UBS published a report last week that emerging market stocks surge in the next year, a covering major emerging market stocks may be specified in the years up 57% to a record high. This is mainly due to economic growth and low interest rates to promote increased valuation.

UBS's Policy Division team in wrote in the report, the MSCI emerging markets index next year will reach 1700 points, October 29, 2007 record high point of closing out of 27%.

Inflation or worries

Many people think emerging markets a large reason for ample liquidity. Bolton said, the current world economic situation facing unprecedented changes, developed countries generally enthusiastic about "printing", the resulting surplus funds will flock to emerging markets, thus the good performance of these markets.

Globally, Bolton said, this round of Bull will continue for many years, and the second phase is starting, during this period, he was of the view that growth-oriented stock and growing market performance will be the most outstanding.

On next year's market, a positive factor is that the stock market this year appeared adequate adjustment. Bolton said, from historical experience, beginning in March 2009 the first wave of bullish development too fast, itself does not have a sustainability, this wave of rally in 13 months rose by an astonishing 85%.

Fortunately, "after this summer's callback, current stock market situation all the more normal. "Bolton said. Regarded as Europe's most successful investor, one of the Burton had planned to retire in the last year, but because the optimistic about China's emerging market performance

, He decided to come to Hong Kong, and from April this year at the helm of China special situations Fund, Manhattan, which was set up to seven months earnings reached 27%, well run and win A share and the stock market.

However, the industry is also on the potential risk factors raised a warning. Big Mo's report states that its Asian and emerging markets stock market prospect "does not generally expect so optimistic," because "in inflation and interest rates in 2011 before the mid-term chuding difficult investment environment."

Considering that many economies, economic recovery is still going to the level before the crisis, most analysts do not worry about emerging markets will reproduce past hyperinflation, we care about more is the rising food and energy prices, coupled with the fed and other Western Central banks of the second quantitative easing might eventually force the emerging market central banks to stronger than currently expected to raise interest rates.

HSBC emerging markets strategy supervisor Richard said the next six months, emerging market investors do decision takes account of the biggest problems is that inflation will have on the global impact. In China, India, many emerging economies, while inflation is not the dominant risk, but these pressures are increasing.

Emerging markets professional research organization Matthews Asia Fund's Chief Investment Officer Robert said, if the emerging economies of the central banks continue to increase monetary tightening, and stock market valuation may be "out of buffer space."

Another important emerging market challenges is the price of commodities, in particular the food and energy, to the related countries tighten pressure, but also on economic growth challenges.

Morgan Stanley investment management company global emerging market equities Department, said the head of Sara hilma investors on commodity prices and the emerging market economies seem to be concerned about the impact of inadequate. Once you exceed a certain threshold, commodity prices are significantly detrimental to the emerging markets, such as oil prices return to top of $ 90.

This move was the first ice-breaking global aoyangxing tide surge

According to the Shanghai Securities News report: at the exit policies of battles, Australia's Central Bank has taken the lead in action: Tuesday announced increases in interest rates by 25 basis points. This indicates a round of intense interest surge is the end. As the financial crisis since the outbreak of the first group of twenty Member States of the increasing interest in, Australia this initiative led to the advent of global interest rising tide. Yesterday, the latest interest rate decisions made two major central banks in Europe is on track to announce, I think.

Two rows of continuous watch

United Kingdom Central Bank yesterday announced as scheduled maintenance 0.5% benchmark interest rate unchanged; the same day, the ECB also continue to wait and see attitude, not its current 1% of the benchmark interest rate level changes.

In spite of the stock market began to rise, but the economic recovery remained weak entity. Recent economic data suggests, the United Kingdom economy may already be in the third quarter from the recession, but this week it announced August decline in industrial production data from accidental, caused 2.5% recovery may require more time. The Finance Ministers of Sweden also stated that the previously Burg European economy is to recover the "interim", but he stressed that the policy "in the future" must remain very dilated.

The European Central Bank in September monthly reports that benefited from the gradual recovery of exports situation as well as the Central Bank and Government incentives, the third quarter of the euro area economy to stabilize. The EU Executive Committee will be published in early November to all EU countries economic growth forecast. The European Commission responsible for economic and Monetary Affairs Committee Almunia said that only get these projections until May when to take exit strategy for more detail.

Aoyangxing ice's road

Australia seems to always be on the "head" Suoo remain keen interest. 7 October last year, Australia's Central Bank has taken the lead in interest. But the Central Bank, the second this week announced that US interest rates by 25 basis points, to 3.25%, again opened the Group of twenty Member States. This is since March 2008 for the first time since the rise in interest rates.

Australia Bureau of statistics announced Thursday, the unemployment rate in September, Australia from August 5.8% to 5.7%, better than the market expected. Affected by this boost, the benchmark S & Thursday Australia P/ASX200 index closed up 1.6% to 4768.6 points, after the publication of the employment data were touching the 12-month high of 4780 points.

Australia's Central Bank Governor Stevens in the interest of the Declaration after the publication, "as in the implied interest rate increasingly normalization, today's decision could be opened a series of interest rate increase action. "He said, as economic growth in the coming year may be close to trend, the inflation rate near the target, Australia economic risk of severe contraction is also has been eliminated, the Central Bank's monetary policy Committee is of the view that, from now on the gradual abolition of irritant monetary policy is a wise choice.

Global Central Bank delicate Steering

The challenges in Australia's Central Bank, the World Bank has also started facing upheaval. Although in the just concluded the Pittsburgh g-20 Summit, the countries reached an agreement, however leave early, but there are some signal display, national approach to monetary policy wording may appear delicate steering.

Fed Vice Chairman Kohn 28 last month that monetary policy makers in consumer spending and business investment before it began to move. Troubled by inflation expectations are clearly more than United States a country. Norway's Central Bank also expressed similar concerns, global liquidity will stimulate India, Korea and other Asian economies asset prices. Market is expected in these economies will rise early next year, but the interest rate decision in Australia, they might want to advance the action.

Of course, there are also some countries still in a recession, Russia's Central Bank last month 29, announced that its refinancing interest rates by 50 basis points to 10%. This was Russia's Central Bank since April 7th downward since the interest rates. But before that, the Bank announced that Hungary will Hungary Bank benchmark interest rates by 50 basis points, to 7.5%.

North Korean currency reform intended to control the market economy

Most of the experts said that the purpose of the Korean currency reforms by reducing residents held cash in hand to stop inflation. Of course, cannot be denied that the regime which does have such a purpose. But from an objective point of view, the inflation is not serious to require implementation of currency reform. Korea 2002 "7-1 improvements have appeared since the" serious phenomenon of inflation, but recently has been basically back to normal. It can therefore be said that, compared to control inflation, monetary reform more inclined to other purposes.

The currency reform as weakened over the past 15 years to challenge national economic domination system measures of market forces is more appropriate. Although the Administration tried to maintain highly planned economic system, but the spontaneous growth of the community still has a number of market forces, they become the elites mortal enemy. Korean cadres are most worried about the "enemy" is to rely on the market for a living people. For the ruling class, in the home do tofu or sewing clothes for aunt were better than "American imperialism" and "puppet" more fearful of South Korea.

This is because market forces towards the cadre of power and privilege. Bazaar is available on virtually change the consciousness of the Korean people. The spontaneous formation of the market makes the inhabitants understand, even if they do not rely on things that can be assigned its own survival. In addition, the fair is also a channel for the free flow of information.

Due to the Korean Peninsula North-South economic disparities, and in the case of splitting the situation, if you take the Chinese reform and open policy is likely to be the same as East Germany caused system crash and the consequences of being unified. Korean rule classes cannot be arbitrary control, finally forced to suppress the market forces only. Therefore, they implement the currency reform, this policy will be to many individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises a mortal blow.

The 2005 recovery after the distribution system, the rule of the Korean domestic scene in short is "anti-reforms". In the past four or five years, the North Korean regime has been working to limit or suppress the spontaneous formation of market trends and attempt recovery of Stalin's regime in the era of Kim Il Sung. Monetary reform is leading to this goal.

(Korea of the North Korean Journal article 8 December)
