Multi-Asset Sputnik. June 29, 2018 - Trade War Looming, Time for the Tin Hats

Decisions by major central banks do not pose much risk to sentiment in 3Q, but an escalating global trade war certainly does, particularly as the November US midterm election nears. This should keep risk assets, including EMs, on the back foot. Despite retaining defensive EM qualities, Russian assets will struggle to avoid losses if the global investment backdrop sours further. That said, we do not envisage Russia-specific negative news in 3Q, and if inflation stays subdued, the CBR can cut rates again before year end.
