Aug 7 (Reuters) -Emerging market stocks rose on Wednesday, as global shares bounced back from a brutal sell-off at the start of the week, whilea strengthening dollar weighed on local currencies.
Elsewhere, Romania's leu EURRON= was little changed against the euro EUR= ahead of the central bank's August monetary policy decision. Analysts polled by Reuters expect Romania's central bank tocut rates by 25 basis points, the second rate cut in the current easing cycle.
The gains came as European and Asian share markets rose, led by another bounce in the Nikkei, as the Bank of Japan unexpectedly turned cautious on rate hikes amidst market volatility.
The unravelling of the yen carry trade, coupled with a softer-than-expected U.S. jobs report last week, and fears of a U.S. recession sparked a global sell-off earlier this week with investors dumping riskier assets and moving to safe-havens.
"It's unclear how long this current bout of heightened volatility will last, yet we've seen global equity markets correct this violently before and never in the past have they not eventually rebounded to new highs," said John Christofilos, chief trading officer, at AGF Investments.
Bourses in Prague .PX, Budapest .BUX and Turkey .XU100 all gained over 1%. Polish stocks .WIG20 underperformed with a 0.2% fall.
However, markets are still assessing the likelihood of a slowdown in the United Statesand what it means for the Federal Reserve outlook,while growing worries about China's economic strength continue to overshadow emerging market assets.
Data on Wednesday showing Chinese export growth slowed in July added to concerns about the country's manufacturing sector.
The dollar rose against the yen on Wednesday, which dropped after an influential Bank of Japan officialplayed down the chances of a near-term rate hike.The greenback's rise weighed on emerging market currencies, with MSCI's EM currency index .MIEM00000CUS standing flat on the day.
The Indian rupee INR=IN fell to an all-time low against the dollar ahead of India's central bank policy decision on Thursday.
The South African rand ZAR=D3 jumped to 18.352 against the dollar, rising for a second day, while stocks .JTOPI firmed 0.6%.
Currencies across central Europe were broadly steady to standlower against the euro. Hungary's forint EURHUF= slipped 0.3%, the Polish zloty EURPLN= fell 0.1%, while the Czech crown EURCZK= was flat.
Central European currencies are facing diverse outlooks for the next 12 months, according to a Reuterspoll,with the zloty and crown expected to riseover the next year while the forint and leu are seen falling.
The Kenyan shilling KES= was little changed against the dollar, a day after the central bank cutrates by 25 basis points.
Kenya's central bank governor said the country had no plans for a $1 billion bond buyback before the year's end, while forecasting economic growth of 5.5% in 2025, similar to 2024's 5.4%.
Elsewhere, sources told Reuters that protests had forced the resignations of four deputy governors of Bangladesh's central bank.
