(Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategist Claudio Irigoyen remains constructive as EM fundamentals are well grounded but turns more cautious as EM rally is maturing, according to e-mailed note.
- Likes India 5y and Indonesia 15y debt on attractive yields and low exposure to China
- In FX, has a bias for short CNY and KRW as positioning is clean and represents an efficient hedge to geopolitical risks
- Likes steepeners in Turkey on risk premium compression; extends duration in Ukraine USD as the curve is steep. Carry in RUB remains “attractive.” Pays 5y CZK rates and buy 5y bonds vs swaps in Hungary
- In LatAm, likes Peruvian bonds; In Brazil and Mexico, likes steepeners and within receivers prefers real to nominal rates
- In FX, recommends selling BRL/ARS and CLP/COP. Both trades benefit from positive carry. Keeps a bias to long USDMXN.
