The exuberant reaction to positive activity data from China and the US owed at least as much, we think, to cautious market valuation and
2、defensive psychological positioning as to the magnitude of the surprises themselves. ? The data were consistent with the Barclays Capital view of a slow but steady recovery in the United States and a soft landing to high growth in China. But they were not strong enough to dispel fears of a more nega
3、tive outcome, which will likely remain for some considerable time to come. ? We think the range-trading environment remains alive and well and that the economic and financial consequences of a two-speed global recovery are becoming a more important market theme.

10、ssued on 1 September. We recommend that investors increase their underweight position in Mexican bonds. On a relative basis, we may find more value on the long end of the LatAm low beta curve (CO 41s, BR 41s, PE 33s, and PA 36s). Since the publication of MXN: Running out of good news, August 5, 2010
11、, not only has there been little good news for Mexican assets but there also has been a string of bad news. The performance has been mixed, with the currency, as usual more volatile, taking the fastest and greatest hit, and CDS has joined it during the past couple of days. External bonds, especially
12、 the long end, meanwhile, have remained relatively better supported and rich on a relative basis (Figure 1). While we believe that some structural factors warrant a pattern of medium-term underlying trends of underperformance of Mexicos assets, such factors obviously do not explain the sharp moves i
13、n very little time. Clearly, the generally poor performance of Mexicos assets has been mostly driven by the large beta of Mexicos assets to US and global developments, with idiosyncratic factors exacerbating the sell-off. A string of headlines about drug-related violence stands out. Figure 1: Mexica

16、cos assets to underperform only gradually over time. In the near term, we would not expect CDS spreads, in particular, to trade meaningfully wider than other low betas. We think the riskier environment in which EM are operating makes some of the recent underperformance warranted, however. While our
17、baseline scenario is for the US not to fall in a double dip and an escalation of drug-related violence from these already skyrocketing levels seems to have a small probability, neither of these risks can be fully ruled out.

19、e The Emerging Markets Weekly: Resisting market headwinds, August 26, 2010). Bonds, especially on the long end, however, appear relatively rich to us in this context. We have been underweight Mexico (BBB/Baa1) credit together with other LatAm low beta names for some time (Brazil, Panama), mostly due
20、 to the groups rich valuation. The solid fundamentals for the low betas were already priced in the prevailing spreads levels, in our view, which were trading tight compared with similar EM credits and their ratings. In addition, the large correlation among the spreads did not warrant a large differe
21、ntiation in the recommendation, in our view. Save a few exceptions, notably our Colombia overweight position (see Colombia: Give me some credit, May 27, 2010), we have not called for any large performance diversification. We are starting to sharpen the pencil and recommend that investors increase th
22、eir underweight positions from 9.6% to 7% versus a benchmark weight of 10.5%. We think that, given some prevailing growth and security risks, bonds could follow, to some extent, the underperformance of CDS spreads rather than expecting a recovery in the latter. While Mexico 5y CDS now trades wider t
23、han Brazil and Colombia by 13bp and 12bp, respectively, the long end of the Mexico bonds has not caught up. Moreover, the increase in the volatility of the Mexican bond asset has made the Sharpe ratio of these bonds less compelling. All this leads to an increase in the underweight position of Mexica
