Emerging-market stocks advanced to a five-week high as Federal Reserve officials met to consider measures to stimulate the world’s biggest economy and as Greece moved toward forming a new government.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF) climbed 1 percent to 943.44 in New York, the highest close since May 15. Brazil’s benchmark Bovespa stock index advanced for a third day, led by JBS SA (JBSS3), Latin America’s biggest beef producer, and Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4), Brazil’s state-controlled oil company. Mexico’s IPC (MEXBOL) index gained 1.6 percent as Grupo Elektra SA (ELEKTRA*) surged the most in three months. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong retreated 0.2 percent.
Fed policy makers began a two-day meeting today to discuss U.S. growth and consider lengthening the maturity of its Treasury holdings. Greek politicians continued talks to form a government after the June 17 elections while Evangelos Venizelos, head of the Pasok party, said the country should renegotiate its international rescue deal. The 21 countries in the MSCI emerging market index send about 30 percent of their exports to the European Union on average, data compiled by the World Trade Organization show.
“There’s enough hope right now that central bankers will get together and do something even if Europe doesn’t come up with a comprehensive solution,” Greg Lesko, who helps oversee over $800 million at Deltec Asset Management in New York, said in a phone interview. “Emerging markets offer growth and they offer yield, so when people are a little less afraid, they’re going to the assets that have the best prospects.”
IMF Pledges
More leaders attending a Group of 20 gathering in Los Cabos, Mexico agreed to contribute to the International Monetary Fund to protect the global economy from Europe’s debt crisis, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement on the sidelines of the two-day summit.

Russia relies on the European Union for about 52 percent of its foreign shipments, while China sends about 20 percent of its overseas sales to the EU, according to the WTO.
Emerging-market stocks are in a “sweet spot” as economic growth remains buoyant in China and valuations plunge from historical averages, Mark Mobius, who oversees about $50 billion as executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets Group, said in an interview from Singapore today. He’s adding to equities in China, Russia, Turkey, Thailand and Africa.
