The global emerging market equities centered around Asian stock markets, as well as international precious metal assets such as emerging market sovereign currencies, gold, and silver, continued their strong uptrend since the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. With increasing tensions between the United States and multiple sovereign governments, including traditional European allies, putting significant selling pressure on dollar assets, a new wave of "sell-off in the US" has thoroughly activated diversified capital flows globally and reignited the trend of global diversified asset allocation. The investment surge in Asian emerging market stocks focusing on South Korean stock markets, Chinese A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, Chinese Taiwan stock markets, and Indian stock markets has attracted global capital, and precious metal assets such as gold and silver are actively following this trend of diversified capital flows.
