• TSMC, Samsung Lead Recovery In Asia's Emerging Markets With AI And Chip Sector Growth

  Following deep losses in 2022, many emerging market assets were at bargain valuations and the recovery began in late 2022, driven by tech stocks such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:TSM) and Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:SSNLF). Emerging market equities — particularly in the manufactured goods sectors — are deeply tied to the cyclical performance of the U.S. economy, relying on exports to the world’s biggest consumer market. The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE:IEMG), an exchange traded fund that includes both TSMC and Samsung among its top holdings, hit a record-high close of $70 in February 2021 as the clamor for new tech from COVID-19 lockdown-restricted U.S. consumers drove domestic shares of both companies to all-time highs.

• China Vs. Emerging Markets: Opportunity Or Value Trap For Investors In 2024?

  Are Chinese stocks and the broader emerging markets an attractive investment opportunity, or do they represent a value trap? This question becomes even more pressing given the divergent performances and economic signals emanating from China and other emerging economies.

However, as reported by Bloomberg, the anticipated economic resurgence took an unexpected turn. Contrary to the expected upswing, China’s economy faced a downturn, with its stock market suffering a substantial 15% decline, marking a third consecutive year of downward trajectory. The iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:FXI) has fallen 19%, on track for the lowest yearly close since 2008.
