da-kuk/iStock via Getty Images Quarterly review The fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index (Net), over the three-month period that ended March 31, 2026. The fund also outperformed its benchmark over the 12-month period. The largest contributors to quarterly performance included Korea, Poland, information technology (IT), and financials while the largest detractors included India, China, communication services, and consumer discretionary. Market review The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 0.17% in the quarter as a correction in March overwhelmed strong gains in January and February. Conflict in Iran and disruption to Middle East energy supplies, dollar strength, artificial intelligence (AI) investment, and macroeconomic headwinds in India and China were market drivers. In January, Korea regulatory reforms and memory chip demand were strong tailwinds, and Latin American countries largely brushed off the U.S. incursion into Venezuela. In February, companies in the AI supply chain continued to lead, China tech platforms fell on fears of disruption from AI agents and competition, Thailand elections signaled stability, and the Middle East braced for potential conflict. In March, the Iran conflict, higher oil prices, and inflation uncertainty weighed on markets while oil exporters Colombia and Saudi Arabia performed strongly. Emerging market currencies fell 2.29% versus the U.S. dollar, as the Iran conflict encouraged central bankers to shelve interest rate cut plans and the dollar benefited from its perceived safe-haven status. Nineteen of 24 emerging market currencies fell, and the currencies of Egypt and Korea declined the most. Index performance was mixed as 5 of 11 sectors and 12 of 24 countries rose. The strongest performers included IT, energy, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil, while laggards included communication services, consumer discretionary, Indonesia, India, and the Czech Republic.

Hydro’s adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was NOK 8,668 million, down from NOK 9,516 million in the same quarter last year. Lower raw material costs, higher all‑in metal prices, and increased alumina and metal sales volumes, were more than offset by lower alumina prices, a stronger NOK, and reduced power production. Hydro delivered strong profitability in the quarter, with adjusted earnings per share increasing from NOK 1.63 in the first quarter 2025 to NOK 2.07 in the first quarter 2026. Operating capital increased due to higher metal prices and sales, giving a free cash flow of negative NOK 4 billion. The twelve month adjusted RoaCE ended at 10.1 percent.

Hydros justerte EBITDA var 8.668 millioner kroner i første kvartal 2026, en nedgang fra 9.516 millioner kroner i samme kvartal i fjor. Lavere råvarekostnader, høyere all-in metallpriser og økte salgsvolumer for alumina og metall, ble mer enn motvirket av lavere aluminapriser, en sterkere norsk krone og redusert kraftproduksjon. Hydro hadde høy lønnsomhet i kvartalet, og justert resultat per aksje har økt fra 1,63 kroner i første kvartal 2025 til 2,07 kroner i første kvartal 2026. Driftskapitalen økte på grunn av høyere metallpriser og salg, noe som ga en negativ fri kontantstrøm på 4 milliarder kroner. Justert RoaCE over de siste tolv månedene endte på 10,1 prosent.

todamo/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Warren Patterson , Head of Commodities Strategy and Ewa Manthey , Commodities Strategist Energy – UAE set to leave OPEC The big development in oil markets yesterday was news that the UAE is set to leave OPEC from 1 May. This is a significant move and will be a big blow to OPEC. It’s the highest-profile exit from OPEC in recent years. Prior to the Iran war, the UAE was pumping 3.4m b/d of crude oil (February 2026), making up around 12% of total OPEC output and the third-largest producer within the group. The UAE’s departure will reduce OPEC's effectiveness in managing and influencing the global oil market through supply measures. The UAE’s exit will increase output, with current production capacity of around 4.85m b/d and plans to reach 5m b/d by 2027. However, before this can be tapped, there must be a resolution in the Persian Gulf that allows for uninhibited energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz once again. Therefore, in the short term, this development has little impact on the market. But in the medium to longer term, it means more supply for the market. This suggests that the Brent forward curve should move into deeper backwardation. The UAE has been increasingly frustrated over recent years by its output being constrained by OPEC production quotas, which have kept it well below its potential. In 2024, UAE crude oil production averaged 2.95m b/d- well below capacity. The timing of the exit was planned well; announcing a departure during a period of significant supply disruption limits the market impact. Had this been announced any other time, we would likely have seen more downward pressure on oil prices. This would certainly be welcomed by President Trump, as it erodes OPEC’s influence in the oil market, while it should also be beneficial for importers and consumers. The other factor to monitor is whether the UAE’s exit will lead to further fracturing amongst the remaining OPEC members. However, in the near term, ...

Amundi SA reported its biggest quarterly inflows in more than four years and said it remains optimistic for the rest of 2026 even as geopolitical upheaval and macroeconomic uncertainty buffeted global markets. Net inflows totaled €32 billion ($37.5 billion), the Paris-based asset manager said Wednesday in a statement, driven by demand for exchange-traded funds and index products. That was the most since the fourth quarter of 2021, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Amundi, controlled by Credit Agricole SA , also reported booming inflows from Northern Europe and Asia. Chief Executive Officer Valerie Baudson said the inflows continued in the final month of the quarter despite a surge in volatility triggered by the war in Iran. “First-quarter inflows were truly exceptional, crisis or no crisis,” she said on a media conference call. “At this point, we’re still seeing positive momentum, but we’re remaining cautious because we imagine that a number of institutional clients could potentially become more cautious in the future.” The hostilities in the Gulf, which choked off oil flows through the Straight of Hormuz, set off wild swings in energy prices and upended interest-rate expectations. “We are facing a conflict that could drag on, with the risk of slowing growth and the spread of inflationary pressures,” Baudson said. “At this stage, we need to monitor the situation closely but avoid falling into excessive pessimism,” she said. Amundi, Europe’s largest asset manager, oversaw €2.4 trillion as of March 31. Adjusted pretax profit rose 13% from a year earlier to €510 million, beating the €468 million average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Adjusted net income climbed 15% to €349 million, also topping estimates. The asset manager, meanwhile, reported €9 billion of outflows from UniCredit SpA ’s networks during the first quarter. The two firms have maintained a sales partnership since UniCredit sold its Pioneer funds unit to Amundi about a decade ago. But a...

Thailand is turning to livestreamers to clear a looming durian glut, slashing prices as weaker Chinese demand threatens its biggest export market. Top online seller Pimradaporn Benjawattanapat, or Pimrypie, led a high-energy livestream Tuesday night, pitching to her combined 31 million TikTok and Facebook followers. Known for selling everything from her own-brand fish sauce to luxury perfumes, Pimrypie priced premium Monthong at as low as 100 baht ($3) per fruit, well below typical market levels. Some “jumbo” pieces went for 480 baht, compared with 700-800 baht for similar-sized durians under normal conditions. “I urge Thai people to help preserve the only remaining heart of the nation, a fruit that still generates income: durian,” she said at the beginning of the four-hour livestream, which garnered 700,000 viewers across the platforms at a peak. “Durian is our pride. Let’s not let that pride perish in the orchards.” Almost eight million people viewed Pimrypie’s livestream on Facebook alone, generating nearly two million real-time order comments. She was selling at a loss after buying up produce from farms in Chanthaburi, the world’s durian capital known for the creamy Monthong variety, she said during the livestream. Pimrypie didn’t immediately disclose the volume of sales across all platforms. Her livestream is part of a stepped-up Thai government push to use live commerce to head off a build-up in supply at home. Thailand has about 850,000 video-commerce sellers driving 1.3 billion transactions, with growth outpacing the rest of Southeast Asia, according to a 2025 report by Google, Temasek Holdings and Bain & Company. The strategy is now being extended overseas. Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun joined a three-hour session this week with a Chinese livestream host that drew 15 million baht in durian orders from mainland consumers. Thailand, the world’s largest exporter of durian, is set for output to jump 33% this season to about 2.1 million tons, with harvest...
