How Emerging Market Currency ETFs Fell Apart in One Week

Lucas and Luna break down the dramatic sell-off in emerging market currencies and ETFs during the first week of June 2026. With the Korean Won ETF dropping 13.1% and broader EM funds like EEM and VWO falling 4-7%, the hosts examine what's driving the flight from risk. They look at the diverging paths of the dollar, euro, and yuan, and discuss whether this is a temporary panic or the start of a bigger EM currency crisis. Specific data points include the dollar index near 100, the euro at 1.15, and the yuan holding at 6.78 despite tariff headlines. New York Fed data on household financial worries adds context for the risk-off mood. #EmergingMarkets #CurrencyCrisis #KoreanWon #EMETFs #DollarIndex #EuroDollar #Yuan #RiskOff #CurrencyMarkets #FX #EEM #EWY #FedSurvey #TradeTariffs #MayJobsReport #CurrencyInvesting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
