updates: Updated information on the US attracting global capital

Version 0.44 (2024-06-17 18:53:30.254000)

updates: The US has been receiving more of the world's investment now than before the pandemic, with a third of global investors' cash being funneled into the US. This change happened despite the freezing of Russian assets at the start of the war in 2022. Before the pandemic, the US share of cross-border capital was 18%. However, according to IMF figures, the US has accounted for almost a third of the world’s cross-border investment since the onset of the pandemic. One cause for holding dollars was the rise in US interest rates to curb inflation, giving holders higher yields relative to what they could hold elsewhere. Another reason may be the package of measures by the Biden administration to encourage chip production and renewable energy. China's share of gross cross-border capital flows fell from around 7% during the decade through 2019 to 3% over the 2021 to 2023 period. The US advantages may not last if policies in the US and China change. China is trying to revive foreign investor interest and is expected to announce new reform steps. Emerging markets have seen a net outflow of capital, with gross FDI at its lowest level since 2000. The US growth forecast has been raised by the World Bank, but a rate-cut cycle and policy uncertainty due to the upcoming presidential election could affect the appeal of US assets. Concerns about the US fiscal deficit and political discord also impact investor confidence. The depth of US political discord raises worries about the rule of law and government institutions, which is important for maintaining investor confidence in US assets. However, the looming presidential election and the Federal Reserve hinting at lowering interest rates later this year could impact the attractiveness of US assets. China is trying to woo back foreign investors, but ongoing worries about the country's policies and geopolitical risks have led to Chinese stocks being snubbed by several new funds. India, Mexico, and Vietnam may become prime targets for foreign investment if interest in the US wanes.

updates: The US dollar is on track for its largest weekly drop in months against the euro, yen, and franc as investors anticipate US interest rate cuts next year. The dollar has fallen 1.6% against the euro, Swiss franc, and yen this week. The expectation of rate cuts is fueled by the announcement that a major US retailer will lower prices, indicating a decrease in inflationary pressures. US economic data also supports this view, with futures markets pricing in 98 basis points of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve next year. The weakening dollar is also attributed to the slowing US economy. Other currencies, such as the British pound, Australian dollar, and New Zealand dollar, have gained against the dollar this week.
