In line with moves we have seen across the region in recent weeks, the Malaysian ringgit has appreciated modestly against the US dollar.

BMI View: We believe Emerging European credit default swaps (CDS) markets could be in for a significant re-pricing over the next few months if the EU's ban on naked CDS trading is revoked. The ban has been the main factor behind persistent anomalies between our proprietary sovereign risk ratings and regional CDS markets over recent quarters, meaning the CDS spread between several...

We have initiated a tactical bearish position on Japan's Topix in our key market views folder at today's open of 948.52. This call is largely based on the technicals, with the impressive bull-run in play since last November showing signs of exhaustion. Firstly, as the chart below shows, the index failed to break above its pre-tsunami high of 980.00 earlier this month. Secondly,...

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. While reports indicate that the health issue is not critical, we believe this market move illustrates the degree...

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.
