Earnings strength keeps markets risk-on as AI drives growth, BlackRock says

Emerging markets have reached record highs in 2026, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index up 14%, outperforming the S&P 500. Key contributors include the AI boom and strong performances from South Korea and Taiwan's tech sectors. Brazil's market has risen 16% due to its oil production and lower dependence on Middle Eastern crude. Despite optimism from falling interest rates and political changes, risks such as volatility and reliance on AI trends persist. However, emerging-market stocks remain attractive due to lower earnings multiples compared to U.S. shares.

Emerging markets rally despite Middle East war, energy fears

Artificial intelligence and oil exports have buoyed shares from South Korea to Brazil.

Emerging-market stocks are powering past the war

Emerging market stocks and currencies fell on Thursday due to concerns over escalating tensions in Iran, rising oil prices, and a hawkish US Federal Reserve. Oil prices surged over 7%, reaching a four-year high, amid fears of supply disruptions. Despite the daily decline, MSCI's indexes are on track for their best monthly performance since November 2022. Regional markets showed mixed results, with South Korea and Taiwan achieving significant monthly gains. The Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged revealed divisions within the board, adding to market uncertainty.

EMERGING MARKETS-EM stocks hit record high as AI optimism overshadows Iran talks stalemate

JPMorgan advises investors to continue buying the dip despite the S&P 500 reaching record highs. Strategists believe that the ongoing conflict in Iran presents a buying opportunity, as market reactions in 2026 will differ from previous years due to improving earnings momentum and a more favorable inflation outlook. They predict broader market leadership, with emerging markets potentially outperforming the U.S. Additionally, they maintain a positive stance on semiconductors and see potential growth in the Chinese economy, which could benefit European miners.

- JPMorgan strategists recommend that investors continue to buy the dip despite the S&P 500 reaching record highs, emphasizing the importance of market weakness in light of the ongoing conflict in Iran.  
- They note that current economic and political conditions differ significantly from previous corrections, highlighting better earnings momentum and a more favorable inflation outlook.  
- As a result, JPMorgan forecasts that international and emerging markets will outperform the U.S. market, with an expectation that market leadership will become more diversified, supporting value and small-cap stocks.

Why JPMorgan is telling investors to keep buying the dips even as market hits new highs

International stocks have significantly outperformed the S&P 500 this year, with a 9.6% return compared to the S&P's 4.7%.

The article suggests that U.S. stocks may be overvalued based on the Cyclically Adjusted Price/Earnings ratio, with only Taiwan having a higher ratio. Ten ETFs focusing on non-U.S. stocks are highlighted as strong investment options.
