About Said Haidar
In August 2018, Said Haidar, founder and CEO of Haidar Capital, commented on the financial impact of political tensions in Turkey. He stated that Turkish President Erdogan did not appear to be backing down, and that the situation could lead to an increase in non-performing loans and a flow-through effect on the European banking systemched. Haidar identified Italy and Spain as the most exposed countries due to their trade links and ownership of Turkish banks. He also said that the Trump administration's quick imposition of sanctions on Turkey and Russia served as a warning to China. Haidar argued that the divergence between strong US growth and tepid global growth was causing emerging markets to underperform US equities. He suggested that upcoming Federal Reserve rate hikes would put further pressure on emerging currencies. While acknowledging that the short-term outlook for emerging markets could worsen, Haidar noted that these markets had recovered from previous crises in 2013 and 2015, and that from a valuation standpoint, emerging markets appeared cheap relative to the US.
