OneWildRide:  Emerging-Market Currencies Head for Record Month as Stocks Rally
Updated on March 31, 2016 — 6:42 AM CDT
Equities poised for strongest monthly gain since October 2011
Brent crude rebound spurs March rallies in ruble, ringgit
Emerging-market currencies were set to cap the strongest monthly rally on record as commodities rebounded and the dollar weakened.
An index tracking 20 exchange rates rose 0.5 percent as of 7:39 a.m. in New York, led by Russia’s ruble. The measure has climbed 6.1 percent in March. The MSCI Emerging Markets index of shares added 0.4 percent on Thursday, poised for its biggest monthly increase since May 2009. A more dovish stance by the Federal Reserve has put a U.S. currency gauge on course for its steepest monthly loss since 2010.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen this week calmed investors unnerved by a chorus of U.S. central bankers signaling a quicker pace of interest-rate increases, saying policy makers must proceed cautiously as the global economy presents heightened risks. Her speech helped riskier assets resume a rally that had been stalled by the dollar’s six-day advance through March 25 against major peers.
“The stars are aligned for EM currencies right now,” said Per Hammarlund, the chief emerging-market strategist at SEB SA in Stockholm. “They were long overdue for a correction, as valuations in many emerging markets had become very attractive. In addition, concerns over China have eased. The Fed has turned more dovish over the past two months.”
Currencies
All 24 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg appreciated in March. The Brazilian real and ruble posted the biggest gains and increased more than 11 percent. The two exchange rates climbed at least 6 percent each against the euro.
On Thursday, the ruble added 1.5 percent as Brent crude headed for the best monthly increase in 11 months. The South African rand advanced 1 percent.
The emerging-market currency index also rose 4.8 percent in the first quarter, the biggest jump in more than five years, and reached the highest level since November. Malaysia’s ringgit, the real and ruble took the top rankings in the three months.
Stocks
As Brent crude climbed 8 percent in March, energy and materials shares led the month’s gains among the 10 industry groups in the MSCI index, which rose 13 percent. The gauge is valued at 11.3 times its 12-month estimated earnings, compared with 16 for the MSCI World Index, which increased 6.5 percent for the month.
Relative Rotation Graph shows energy and raw-material stocks are outperforming the MSCI gauge by the most.

On Thursday, Dubai’s benchmark measure rose 0.9 percent to a one-week high. Russia’s dollar-denominated RTS Index headed for a second day of gains.
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland stocks listed in Hong Kong rose 0.3 percent, paring the month’s gain to 14 percent, the best since April last year. Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co. surged the most on record after billionaire Wang Jianlin was said to consider privatizing the company. The Shanghai Composite Index completed its steepest monthly rally in a year.
“Foreign inflows are returning to emerging markets and corporate earnings will be something to watch out for in the next few quarters,” said Danny Wong Teck Meng chief executive officer of Kuala Lumpur-based Areca Capital Sdn., which manages about $224 million. “The main uncertainty would still be statements from the Federal Reserve, as they can shift targets and stance at anytime depending on the data.”
