Emerging markets grow best in three years
Analysts agree that 2017 was a good year so far for emerging markets. But can growth last? [Xinhua]
A mix of a weaker-than-expected US dollar in recent weeks and positive industrial data from China has boosted emerging markets to peak levels not seen in nearly three years.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index – which measures equity market performance in some 26 emerging countries – rose 1 per cent Thursday, beating its record last year and registering the highest level since September 2014.
