10Y Real Yield: South Africa At The Top Of The League

EMERGING MARKETS
  • As inflation continues to accelerate faster than what the market predicted in the CEE region, Poland, Hungary and CzechRepublic currently offer the lowest 10Y real yield among the EM world.
  • For instance, the two charts below shows that Poland stands at the bottom of the 'League', with a 10Y real yield at -2.2% (adjusted by core CPI) and -2.6% (adjusted by headline CPI).
  • Interestingly, China ranking changes significantly when we adjust by PPI (-1.2%, second worst place after Poland) instead pf core CPI (+2.9%, fourth best place).
  • South Africa remains at the top of the League, with a 10Y real yield of 6.7% (Core CPI) and 6% (headline CPI), which partly explains the ZAR strength we have seen in the past year (i.e. ZARJPY up nearly 35% since its April 2020 low).
  • In Brazil, the rise in political and economic uncertainty has been weighing on the BRL, which has remained weak against major crosses (i.e. EUR, JPY) despite the elevated 10Y real yield (6.3% adjusted by core and 3.1% adjusted by headline).
