Long-Term EM Currency Trends

* December 1, 2016

Poor economic fundamentals should drag EM currencies lower.



Despite the latest pullback in EM currencies, the EM ex-China real effective exchange rate is still elevated. Given their poor productivity growth outlook, the real effective exchange rates will be inclined to depreciate. Furthermore, to limit the upside in domestic interest rates – both in bond yields and interbank rates – many developing nations’ central banks will inject more local currency liquidity into their financial systems. This might help cap local interest rates, but will be bearish for their currencies.

Bottom Line: EM exchange rates will continue depreciating. Our EM strategists recommend short positions in the following basket of currencies versus the U.S. dollar: KRW, MYR, IDR, TRY, ZAR, BRL, COP and CLP.
