EM Macro workspace

Emerging markets on one sheet: growth, inflation, current account and government debt read across China / India / Brazil / Indonesia / Mexico / Turkey / South Africa / Korea — IMF WEO

Use it when: When the dollar or US rates have moved enough to matter to everyone else.

Emerging markets matter to a futures trader mostly as a demand read and a dollar-stress read.

• Presets in the menu bar, under the category this desk belongs to — one click applies the whole layout, and a checkmark tracks which one is active.
• Or the command palette on Ctrl+P, which finds it by name.
• Or ask the ship for it: show me emerging markets.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything the desk does not open is in the Add Panel menu.

• 1. Growth and inflation across the eight economies, read as a row rather than one country.
• 2. Current account next — it says who needs external funding.
• 3. Government debt last, for who can absorb a shock.

The tell: A current-account deficit plus high external debt plus a strengthening dollar is the classic combination. One of the three on its own is not.

This desk is built from dense sheet panels rather than individual tiles — see below.

Plus 1 dense sheet — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• Emerging Markets

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• What actually moves ES and NQ

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
