The Peruvian sol has depreciated to its historically weakest level ahead of the presidential runoff election this weekend. We find the currency to be attractive from the point of view of valuations, macroeconomic fundamentals, and a fragmented Congress preventing radical policymaking. However, given the binary risks, we suggest waiting until after the election for a better entry point.Separately, the attached file is a snapshot of the EM currency market in which we seek to identify the leaders and laggards among currencies by comparing the performance of each to its history as well as to other currencies based on their respective betas to an EM currency index.

FX Dashboard: EM Currencies to Target in the Late Recovery Phase

The US dollar has weakened since the end of March, leaving it flat from the start of the year. If the dollar moves sideways for the time being, as we expect, then it should lead to a carry trade environment.

FX Dashboard: Which Currencies to Target in a Carry Trade Environment?

We recommend staying away from the lira despite the high carry and attractive valuations as it is being weighed down by the risk of the central bank easing too early, a high current account deficit, low international reserves, and high short-term foreign debt.Separately, the attached file is a snapshot of the EM currency market in which we seek to identify the leaders and laggards among currencies by comparing the performance of each to its history as well as to other currencies based on their respective betas to an EM currency index.
