- China must make tough decisions about inflation vs. growth as the Chinese FDI declines by 82%. China has witnessed a notable decrease in recent times, which makes us question if this is the bottom of the Chinese market downfall.
- There is an anticipated increase in federal spending, as the US debt has been rising by $100 billion every 14 days. The Federal Reserve has historically taken eight months on average to lower rates following a boost while we question if in 2H CY24, will the Fed lower interest rates?

- India’s share of MSCI EM is steadily rising. Over the long run, Indian stocks have consistently produced gains. It overwhelmed every Indian that the Q3FY24 results met their expectations.
