Smaller Equity Markets Surge as Investors Seek Refuge From Tech Volatility

Smaller equity markets, particularly in Asia, are outperforming larger ones in September. Investors are drawn to their relatively attractive valuations and potential for growth, especially as major markets like the US and Japan face headwinds. This shift is also fueled by the US Federal Reserve`s potential shift towards easing monetary policy, which benefits emerging markets. While uncertainty impacts tech-heavy markets, some smaller economies benefit from local factors like political stability or sectors poised to gain from lower interest rates.
