Horacio Coutino, multi-asset strategist

A strong earnings season gave way to higher US equity valuations and heightened earnings growth for US equities. Nevertheless, investor concerns regarding institutional erosion, stemming from the White House's push for greater influence over monetary policy, were evident in the steepening US yield curve throughout August.

The analysis highlights the potential benefits for EM equities, which have shown strong performance despite global trade headwinds.
