EM Funds Adjust Bets as ‘Sell the Dollar' Trade Loses Appeal

Bloomberg21 hours ago
The dollar's bounceback in July is convincing some emerging-market investors to bet it will keep rising in coming months.
T. Rowe Price Group Inc. says it now favors dollar-denominated emerging market bonds rather than local-currency ones as a tactical trade. Barclays Plc is telling its clients to avoid shorting the greenback versus its Asian peers, while Fidelity International says the higher-for-longer US interest rates make it less attractive to borrow the dollar to fund carry trades.

Hedge Funds Are Hurting From a Garbage Rally. Who's to Blame?

Quant equity hedge funds have enjoyed a strong run for nearly two years, with the first half of 2025 being particularly good. But many of the most prominent funds saw losses in June and especially July, due to what quants are calling a 'garbage rally' and blaming on retail day traders. This appears to be unprecedented in several respects. Previous meme stock rallies were driven by medium-term retail investors, and previous quant hedge fund losses were steeper but lasted only a few days. Now we seem to be seeing meme day traders inflicting many weeks of small losses. Previous quant equity losses hit long and short positions equally, this time it's only the short positions. Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s most shorted-stocks basket has surged at a near record pace and its Speculative Trading Indicator is at over three-year highs, according to a Bloomberg News report last Thursday.
