Question asked

Impact of a rising AUD

“Hi James, with the falling USD, many commentators suggest investing in emerging markets during 2021. Which specific emerging markets do you recommend, and how does a rising AUD affect this choice?” - best wishes John K.

Answer

Morning John,

It’s all about debt if the $US continues to fall countries with their debt denominated in $US will find servicing this burden far easier with their own currency. In terms of which country again we prefer to keep it simple and buy a basket of exposure through the IEM Australian ETF shown below – another market that feels due for a rest though.
