Big Dollar, EM Harm?

Mikio Kumada, the Global Strategist at LGT Capital Partners in Hong Kong, shares some market whispers ahead of next week’s Fed meeting and what the street thinks Fed officials might say about inflation and other economic data in terms of offering some pointers for the Dollar’s direction.

He also talks about India's and Indonesia’s central bank comments on how a strong dollar and the Fed’s aggressive rate policy is harming emerging market growth.

He also discusses the currently distressed Brazilian real.
