2024 GDP forecasts continue to improve, reaching 3% on brightening growth outlooks for the US, China, and India. PMI indices continue to point to improving economic activity in both manufacturing and services sectors. Rate-cutting momentum continues among the key EM central banks on our watch list with 10 rate cuts vs 4 rate hikes.
