MARKET COMMENT - RISK OUT OF FASHION ON US-CHINA TRADE AND EUROPEAN GROWTH CONCERNSMarkets retreated yesterday, the MSCI EM declining 0.6% and the RTS 1.3% to 1,200, for instance. Developed markets fared slightly worse than EMs, the MSCI World dropping 1.0%. News that the Chinese and US presidents would likely not meet prior to their March 1 trade agreement deadline, as well as cuts to European growth forecasts, dragged on risk assets across the board. That trend continues this morning, with APAC indexes and futures on the Russian, US and European stock markets in negative territory.STORIES> EM inflows moderate along with risk appetites> Revised Russian construction data sets high base for January-February> Chief Economist's View: Projecting year-end inflation at 4.7%> NLMK: 4Q18 IFRS shows in-line EBITDA, healthy FCF> MMK 4Q18 IFRS: EBITDA and FCF in line with estimates> Russian telecoms: Fishing for stocks in cloudy water> Magnit 4Q: Top line up, margin flat Q-o-Q, EBITDA 2% above consensus
