In a recent article by Luciana Juvenal and Ivan Petrella, the impact of commodity prices on the global financial cycle and the business cycles of emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) is discussed. The authors highlight the role of commodity prices in transmitting global shocks and their dual role as independent sources of shocks. They find that surges in export prices, triggered by commodity price shocks, boost domestic GDP in these economies. Changes in US monetary policy and global risk appetite are identified as key drivers of capital flows in EMDEs. The analysis underscores the importance of export diversification as a strategy to mitigate the impact of external shocks on these economies [3688012c].
