To do so, we introduce a new high-frequency external instrument to identify global demand shocks: the sensitivity of oil futures prices around labor market announcements from the US and the Euro Area, two events that consistently trigger strong revisions in global growth expectations across financial markets. Using a proxy-SVAR framework, our results suggest that a global demand shock has positive effects on world industrial production, reduces oil inventories and global uncertainty, and improves financial conditions. In EMEs, upward revision in macroeconomic outlook leads to higher industrial production and inflation, real exchange rate appreciation, and lower EMBI spreads. When the sample is split between oil-importers and exporters, we observe results consistent with the role of external trade exposure in shaping transmission, heterogeneity in the magnitude and persistence of output, inflation, real exchange rates, and sovereign risk responses. These results are consistent with theoretical expectations and the related literature. Our findings offer a credible empirical strategy for isolating global demand shocks and have direct implications for empirical macroeconomic modeling of emerging market economies.  \nKeywords: Proxy SVAR; oil futures prices; global demand shocks; Emerging Markets; highfrequency identification; labor reports releases.  \nJEL Classification: C3; E4; E6; F3; Q4.  \n*We acknowledge the thoughtful comments of Jorge Miranda-Pinto, Mathieu Pedemonte, Cezar Santos, Luciana Juvenal, Martin Stuermer, Martin Sommer, and participants in seminars held at the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Central Bank of Chile.

Global demand shocks affect industrial production, trade flows, commodity markets, and asset prices across countries, and are particularly consequential for emerging market economies (e.g. Boz, Gopinath, and Plagborg-Møller (2017); Sungurtekin Hallam (2022); Bems, Johnson, and Yi (2010)) . Yet identifying the drivers and isolating these shocks remains empirically challenging, as global demand reflects a complex mix of monetary and fiscal policies, financial conditions, and expectations about future growth, often intertwined with endogenous macroeconomic dynamics. While structural models provide useful frameworks to interpret global co-movements, they typically rely on strong identifying assumptions or slow-moving aggregate indicators, limiting their ability to capture exogenous and timely shifts in global demand.  \nThe empirical challenge lies in identifying a source of variation that captures unanticipated changes in global economic activity without being confounded by other structural shocks. Standard SVARs often rely on long-run or timing restrictions (e.g., Blanchard and Quah (1989); Christiano, Eichenbaum, and Evans (1999)), which can be difficult to defend in a global setting with overlapping policy regimes and simultaneous cross-country interactions.
