Trump's America-first world is pushing other powers to hedge their bets

Xi, Putin and Modi meet in New Delhi as U.S. tariffs, sanctions and the Iran war test whether BRICS members can find more common ground.

Why it matters

FXI (China Large-Cap) · Why linked: Xi/Xi Jinping's participation in BRICS amid US tariffs and sanctions directly impacts China-exposed equities. Market context: Bearish near-term if BRICS coordination pressures US trade stance; longer-term implications mixed.

EEM (Emerging Markets) · Why linked: BRICS coordination among major emerging powers (China, Russia, India) affects broad EM sentiment and capital flows. Market context: Neutral to bearish depending on whether BRICS unity leads to concrete trade/currency actions.

USD/CNY (US Dollar / Chinese Yuan) · Why linked: US tariffs on China and potential BRICS de-dollarization discussion directly influence the dollar-yuan pair. Market context: Bearish for yuan if BRICS produces coordinated response; bullish if US tariff pressure continues.

CL (Crude Oil (WTI)) · Why linked: The article references the Iran war and sanctions as drivers of BRICS coordination, which affect oil markets. Market context: Neutral; context already priced in but BRICS response to Iran situation could shift supply expectations.
