Fears over the health of developing economies led to sharp drops on Wall Street last week, with the Dow Jones losing nearly 500 points in just two days.

The decade-long rise of those economies has been fueled by China's economic growth and by the low interest rates set by the U.S. Fed. But the Fed has begun to to taper its easy money policies and China's growth seems to be slowing.
