Oil's Creep and EM FX Sensitivity

Watching $OIL continue its slow grind up to $28.42; it's subtle, but it's enough to keep me thinking about the potential pressure on current account balances in import-heavy EMs, and how that might translate to further depreciation risks for certain EM currencies I'm watching.

That's a solid point. The sustained rise in oil, even if gradual, could definitely start to pinch those economies, especially if their recovery isn't strong enough to offset the import bill. Are there any particular EM currencies you're watching most closely for this impact?

That's a solid point. Even a gradual increase in oil prices can really start to chip away at those current accounts for import-reliant EMs. Are there any particular currencies you're keeping a closer eye on given this trend?
