EMERGING MARKETS: Thursday saw J.P.Morgan note that "EM risk has been
catching-up to the global rebound in the last week as near-term sentiment
improves on developed economies that are visibly opening up, with an anticipated
improvement in upcoming data. High beta EM currencies are one of the last asset
classes to see meaningful retracement from the Feb/Mar sell-off and we do not
see a reason to fade near-term strength yet, even though this will eventually
likely give way to a medium-term trend of EM currency weakness resuming. The
tactical nature of this means we are expressing it in our model portfolio by
adding an overweight in Latam FX - we move overweight in MXN - versus an
underweight in Asia. In EMEA EM, we move marketweight from underweight by
scaling up our existing overweight in RUB. Overall the portfolio is marketweight
EM FX but with a better regional allocation for a short-term continuation of EM
FX strength. We added an underweight in CNY this week to hedge risks around
US-China tensions escalating."
