FX Blueprint: Forever Young
Theme #12: Burrito barato, pisco not sour - buy MXN/COP, PEN/CLP
a
Go long MXN/COP on fundamental divergence,
greater Banxico management of currency volatility
and the pair's undervaluation vs. oil.
Go long PEN/CLP - the pair has reduced exposure
to copper and BCRP's substantial FX reserves
should ensure continued management of PEN and
relative outperformance versus other commodity
exporters in Let Am.
Focus on heterogeneity
As mentioned in our year-end outlook, we envision
another difficult year for Lat Am FX in 2016. Besides
the adjustment to a new external backdrop (with higher
rates in the US and lower commodity prices),
idiosyncratic problems including political uncertainty,
high foreign ownership of domestic assets, fiscal woes,
and inflation pressures should continue to weigh on the
much battered asset class.
That said, there are heterogeneities within the region as
countries sit in different stages of the adjustment
process. This provides in a good environment for
relative value. We present two opportunities in the Let
Am space that take advantage of the differences in
policy making within the region while reducing outright
exposure to further declines in commodities prices.
Mispricing in the oil block: Long MXNFCOP (target: 205,
stop:170 ref: 182 )
Traditionally not an oil exporter, MXN has still suffered
from the fall in oil prices and the China-related increase
in risk aversion. Adjustments in expectations on energy
sector reforms and therefore prospective oil related FDI
inflows, and the peso's use as a proxy hedge for other
Let Am FX exposures are the two obvious culprits
behind the recent move lower, which in our view has
been exaggerated. Lower exposure to China and US
related externalities should
translate into lower
volatility for the MXN. We also believe that a weaker
peso could be harmful to the economy through the
"financial stability" channel, justifying the rather
"currency oriented" communiques adopted by Banxico.
Going forward we envision two possible scenarios:
further currency volatility management by Banxico in
case "risk-off" continues, or a retracement to
fundamentals if global volatility subs€des (MXN is
undervalued on our fundamental metrics). In either
case we see MXN trading at stronger levels versus
other LatAm FX in the near future.
