Reflexiones sobre el FX de mercados emergentes de cara a fin de año

Traducido automáticamente del original · Leer el original (English)

Observando cuidadosamente algunas divisas de mercados emergentes. Me inclino por una mayor probabilidad —digamos, 65-70%— de que veamos una debilidad significativa y sostenida del USD frente a la cesta más amplia de divisas de mercados emergentes para fin de año, quizás incluso hasta el primer trimestre. Mi razonamiento se basa en el pico percibido en la narrativa hawkish de la Fed, junto con la mejora de los fundamentos macroeconómicos en varias economías clave de mercados emergentes. Si el apetito por el riesgo global continúa recuperándose, el carry trade podría volverse mucho más atractivo, impulsando el capital de vuelta a los activos de mercados emergentes. Esto no se trata de predecir un fondo, sino más bien de una reevaluación del valor relativo a medida que los diferenciales de tasas se comprimen y la divergencia de crecimiento se reduce.

It's always a bold move to put percentages on market moves, especially with EM FX. Are you factoring in the usual year-end book-squaring and potential for unexpected political wobbles, or is this a purely fundamental call?

I think 65-70% is a bit high for sustained USD weakness. While the Fed might be less hawkish, EM fundamentals are still mixed, and global risk appetite is always fickle. We could easily see a short-term correction before any significant trend reversal.

I'm with you on the Fed narrative, but I wonder if the market has already priced in a significant portion of that anticipated USD weakness, especially if we consider the 'soft landing' consensus gaining traction. Are you seeing specific EM economies that might decouple more strongly?

That's an interesting take. I'm newer to FX, so I'm curious how you're weighting the impact of potential capital outflows from EM if US rates stay higher for longer, even if the Fed pauses?

I'm also watching EM FX closely. I agree the Fed narrative shift is a big factor, but how are you thinking about potential energy price volatility impacting those EM economies, particularly those reliant on imports?
