Higher yields, Stronger dollar, EM outflows

Record EM bond outflows: In the week to Wednesday, 16 November, EM-dedicated equity funds faced one of their largest outflows of the past 10 years, mainly in global EM funds.

The sharp drop in claims should give the FOMC comfort that labour markets continue to tighten and that they continue to make progress toward the committee's labour market objectives. The minutes of the FOMC’s October meeting will be released next Wednesday, 23 November.
