Yo Adrian! Emerging Markets Ain't Down for the Count! They're Bobbing, Weaving, and Building Their Own Ring!

Between a Rock and a Hard Place? More Like a Right Hook and an Uppercut!

Listen sometimes life hits you harder than Clubber Lang right? This whole US China trade war thing? It's got these emerging markets feelin' like they're stuck between a rock and a hard place see? Like choosin' between goin' a round with Apollo Creed or Ivan Drago. But these ain't no bums Adrian! They're lookin' for a third option a way to stay on their feet.

Negotiate Like a Champ Work Like a Contender!

This Ong Kian Ming guy the former deputy minister in Malaysia he's got the right idea. He's sayin' they gotta negotiate with the U.S. to find a soft landing ya know? Like when Mick taught me to protect myself! But and this is the important part it don't mean they gotta stop workin' with other countries. Not to screw over Uncle Sam but to help themselves! 'Cause let me tell ya nobody owes nobody nothin'! You owe yourself.

Goldman Sachs Giveth Goldman Sachs Taketh Away... But These Markets Ain't Relying on 'Em!

Goldman Sachs they're always cuttin' forecasts right? Saying Vietnam gonna grow less Malaysia too even Thailand. Like they're sayin' these countries can't go the distance. But I learned somethin' from Mickey it ain't about how hard you can hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward! And these markets they're gonna keep movin'.

Tough Tariffs? Time to Get Creative!

So Trump's 'Liberation Day' gonna slap these countries with some hefty tariffs huh? Up to 49 percent! That's a real gut punch like when Apollo was beatin' on me in the first fight. But Adrian always told me 'Win lose or draw you gotta show up!' So these countries are lookin' for ways to balance things out. The U.S. ain't the only game in town see? China's got a role to play too.

South South Trade: Building a New Powerhouse!

This UNCTAD lady Rebeca Grynspan she's talkin' about South South trade growin' faster. Like the underdogs trainin' together buildin' a new force! Anwar Ibrahim from Malaysia he's on board too. More trade within the region more economic integration. It's like I always say 'To beat me he's gonna have to kill me!' Well to beat these emerging markets they're gonna have to build somethin' stronger themselves.

No Easy Out But a Whole Lotta Fight!

No easy solutions that's for sure. But these emerging economies are gonna try everything see? Using their money smarts and diversify their trade. This China+1 thing it's still workin' with businesses moving from China. Look at Cambodia their exports are up! This Miguel Chanco fella even says they're more attractive than China! So these markets might be gettin' knocked around but they ain't goin' down for the count. They're gonna stand tall and make it happen. Like I always said 'It ain't over 'til it's over!'
