Oil prices retreating combined with AI optimism helped emerging-market stocks end a two-day losing streak.
Oil prices retreating combined with AI optimism helped emerging market stocks end a two-day losing streak. Emerging market equities rebounded on Friday as oil prices pulled back and concerns over the sustainability of the AI investment boom eased. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose as much as 0.5%, ending two consecutive days of declines. However, the index is still on track for a second straight weekly loss, as higher crude prices earlier in the week, rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar weighed on market sentiment. Reports that OpenAI's annualized revenue could reach or exceed $70 billion by year-end eased concerns that its revenue would fall short of previous expectations, boosting risk appetite. Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore, said the bigger question is whether that revenue can support the massive investment in AI infrastructure and the increasingly high financing costs behind it. "The revenue story may still hold, but the return logic remains to be proven," she said.
