Emerging Market Currencies Rally, MSCI Hits Record High on June 2 as Geopolitical Tensions Ease

On June 2, emerging market currencies rallied as Iran and the U.S. eased recent hostile rhetoric, lifting market risk sentiment. South African rand and Mexican peso—traditional risk-appetite indicators—led gains. Despite reports of a proposed 25% tariff on Latin American commodities, markets largely shrugged off the news; Brazilian real also climbed. Global equity markets extended a three-day rally, buoyed by Asian tech stocks, with the MSCI index reaching a record high and gaining over 27% year-to-date.
