Recent monetary policy decisions imply that Turkey's central bank is becoming more concerned about supporting growth than aiding the rebalancing process, and as a result we are turning more cautious towards Turkish assets, lira included.

Argentine restructured sovereign debt is rallying, with yields having fallen to their lowest levels since January on news that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has had to temporarily transfer power to Vice President Amodo Boudou due to health reasons.

South Africa's economic prospects have deteriorated amid rapid currency depreciation and rising tensions in the critical mining sector. We are forecasting real GDP growth of 2.3% in 2013 and 3.3% in 2014, with risks weighted firmly to the downside.
