EXECUTIVE BRIEF
Global macro risk is elevated across multiple axes this cycle. Fitch's upgrade of South Africa to 'BB' (Stable) — the sovereign's first positive rating action since 2005 — signals selective EM credit improvement, while Senegal's hidden-debt disclosure and biodiversity-linked debt-crisis warnings maintain frontier-credit vigilance. The Federal Reserve faces a hawkish recalibration after three consecutive months of above-consensus US job gains; markets have fully priced at least one Fed rate hike, pressuring EM FX broadly. The Korean won has breached ₩1,550/USD despite a record current-account surplus. OFAC's Iranian LPG sanctions network crackdown and the US House-passed Ukraine aid and Russia oil-sector sanctions package elevate sanctions-capital-flow risk. The ECB is priced for a June hike with September follow-through.
