EM FX
  • The strong rebound in oil prices this week has been supporting oil-sensitive currencies – COP, MXN and RUB.
  • COP is the best performing currency among the EM market, up 1.7% against the US Dollar.
  • BRL is the second best performing currency, supported by the BCB 150bps hike yesterday, raising the benchmark rate to 9.25%. The central bank signaled another such hike at the next meeting in February.
  • The BRL is up 1.40% against the USD this week.
