EM Strategy Plus Summary - 15 November 2013
Key Views and Asset Allocation
- Emerging Markets (EM) Strategy: The report suggests a tactical approach, emphasizing buying on dips and being cautious about longer maturities.
- Latam Focus: A structural steepening of local yield curves is expected in Latin America. Brazil is likely to underperform due to its high sensitivity to U.S. Treasury rate increases, while Mexico is expected to outperform.
- CNH CCS Rates: Expected to rise due to profit-taking on short USDCNH positions and interest-rate arbitrage flows. A small paid position is recommended, with caution advised due to potential regulatory curbs on FX forward selling.
- Indonesia (Indo): Authorities are addressing fiscal and monetary issues, but the market is overly bearish. Buy on dips, especially when valuations are stretched. Recommend buying Indon 19s sukuk or selling CDS, and buying ORI10 2016s currency unhedged.
- EM Sovereign Credit: Investment-grade (IG) credit is favored, especially those trading below par. The report highlights Poland '23 and Russia '22 as key trades, with a focus on sub-par IG bonds.

| Hungary | Buy EURHUF on dips | 17/A offers best value on the curve; avoid the long end | 2s5s10s fly to move higher | Neutral |
