Dollar weakness continues to shape investment flows

  • Published 10 Dec 2009

Brazil and Russia equities saw an uptick in inflows last week, while Asia-ex Japan and Greater China funds fell out of favour with investors, EPFR Global reported.

Dollar weakness has been perhaps the most major investment theme since the third quarter, said EPFR senior analyst Cameron Brandt. As a result, a lot of money has been directed into commodities and plays that are a proxy for commodities such a Brazilian and Russian equities, as well as emerging markets with good growth stories and sound public finances, he said.
