<li>Earlier this month we saw coverage of infrastructure &amp; clean energy themes surging across the media in anticipation of President Biden unveiling a large follow-on infrastructure plan beyond the original $1.9tr relief package</li>

In this note, we look into the correlation of EM currencies with US equities, which has dropped from last year but is still high.The attached file is a snapshot of EM currency market, which we produce daily, and where 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 the broad market. The analysis, therefore, is not a forecasting tool but to be used for identifying dislocations, which we loosely define as price moves that cannot be justified by fundamentals.
