FPI had reached a record high of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1a1d9e08-8976-4312-aa23-d653611f22bc\">USD 28.50 bn<\/a> at the end of February, climbing back above pre-covid levels following a 60% drop between March and May last year due a covid-19 sell off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise since some volatility was expected, especially after the uptick in US treasury yields<\/strong> that began <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/1c6fb4fa-12c9-45d0-b904-242cb9d1c66d\">earlier this year<\/a> translated into higher borrowing costs and made debt investments in emerging markets less attractive, CI Capital senior economist Sara Saada tells us. Another reason Saada\u2019s firm had penciled net portfolio outflows in March is that the demand for imports into Egypt and hard currency was elevated as we headed into Ramadan, which meant there was less of a cushion to mitigate the outflows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent monetary tightening in EMs may have also played a role, <\/strong>HC Securities\u2019 Monette Doss, meanwhile, said. EM central bankers across 37 emerging markets delivered <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/ccd897f8-4089-42bc-acdf-910a9ef73e4c\">five net interest rate hikes in March<\/a>, shifting away from an easing cycle, primarily because of the rising US treasury yields and expectations of upward pressure on inflation globally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But it\u2019s likely only seasonal: <\/strong>The drop was a direct reaction to rising US treasury yields, and it only resulted in volatility, not a sell-off, Saada said. While there were likely outflows in March in response to the increase in the 10-year US treasury yield, inflation concerns, and signs the Fed may hike policy rates sooner than expected, the fall in FPI was a temporary market reaction and not a trend, a senior banker who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity said. We could also see some FPI reflected in April figures, but to a lesser extent than in March, and this should begin reversing in May, they said, adding that FPI is in line for a leg-up further into 2021, when Egyptian bonds become \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8a1b21c3-fa9d-4c13-9002-b4b8712e3e07\">Euroclearable<\/a>\u201d and are reincluded on the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/ea858526-5700-49cf-9a6c-4bb9a7b54d2a\">JPMorgan bond index<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019re yet to see the latest figures for FPI: <\/strong>Numbers for March and April haven\u2019t been announced, neither through the central bank nor the official government sources that are usually <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/61ffddfa-ebf5-4743-bbc5-f65c507cc962\">quoted by the local press<\/a>.
