Among the themes in EM rates that we have highlighted in recent weeks are: EM rates have underperformed the US and, within EM, rates in Latin America have underperformed Asia. In this note, we look at the performances of rates in different countries adjusted by their respective betas that corroborate the earlier findings and help identify the outliers more clearly.Separately, the attached file is a snapshot of the EM 10y rates market in which we seek to identify the leaders and laggards among countries by comparing the performance of each to its history as well as to other countries based on their respective betas to an EM rates index.

Rates 10y Dashboard: Which Countries Are Outliers Within EM Rates This Year?

Even though EM rate curves have been flattening in line with the US, rates in EM have underperformed the rally in the US. The main difference is unlike the US, and DM more generally, emerging countries have broadly started tightening monetary policy. Real rates in EM are thus much higher than in the US. We continue to find the spread of EM to the US attractive, especially with EM rates volatility dropping below its long-term average.Separately, the attached file is a snapshot of the EM 10y rates market in which we seek to identify the leaders and laggards among countries by comparing the performance of each to its history as well as to other countries based on their respective betas to an EM rates index.

Digging deeper into the underperformance of EM rates to the US, we find that within EM, the regional differentiation has been quite significant. Specifically, while rates in Latin America have underperformed the rally in the US significantly, rates in Asia have lagged by much less. This differentiation argues for relative-value trades between rates in LatAm and Asia as well as within countries in Asia.Separately, the attached file is a snapshot of the EM 10y rates market in which we seek to identify the leaders and laggards among countries by comparing the performance of each to its history as well as to other countries based on their respective betas to an EM rates index.

As the correlation of rates in Asia and Latin America touches its lowest level in multiple years, we point out that historically such extremes don't last, implying better performance for LatAm rates ahead.Separately, the attached file is a snapshot of the EM 10y rates market in which we seek to identify the leaders and laggards among countries by comparing the performance of each to its history as well as to other countries based on their respective betas to an EM rates index.
