#TradingDay: Peace fog

Aug 11 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell and oil rose on Tuesday, price moves driven by deepening pessimism around the prospect of a U.S.-Iran peace deal, while major currency and bond markets were largely steady as investors awaited the release of U.S. inflation figures on Wednesday.

Is the exodus from emerging markets over, and if so, does that point to an upswing across EM in the second half of the year? Flows data from the IIF on Tuesday showed that non-residents plowed nearly $19 billion into EM securities in July, snapping two straight months of ⁠outflows. But bonds did all the heavy lifting, with $26.7 billion of inflows, against a $7.8 billion equity outflow...
