HALISTER1: More Risk Just Fine for EM Investors, Pimco Analysts Say

More Risk Just Fine for EM Investors, Pimco Analysts Say

(Bloomberg) -- Emerging-market outlook remains constructive and global policy shifts may provide attractive entry points, Pimco emerging-markets money managers Yacov Arnopolin, Lupin Rahman and Vinicius Silva write in note.
  • Emerging-market central banks meeting target rates for lower inflation as governments cut current account deficits, says note summing up IMF/World Bank investment meetings last week
  • EM local debt favored over developed-market bonds and EM hard-currency debt
  • China corporate leverage a risk, but no "major crisis" expected
  • Commodities not top-of-mind; oil prices expected to stay range-bound
  • Nafta negotiation outcome and Mexican election increase uncertainty
  • Venezuela still a "riddle;" keeping an eye on sanctions and contraction of oil production
  • Latin America upswing focused on reforms surviving; investors remain bullish on region with added risk in near term on local markets and hard-currency debt
  • Nations with IMF lifeline are popular, including Egypt and Ukraine, though they face close scrutiny
