In contrast to MXN, COP has been relatively resilient in
recent weeks after being the worst performer in the
region in 2015. Although COP, CDS and TES continue
to trade very closely to oil, the change in BanRep's
intervention rule (the trigger to sell 1M USD calls/COP
puts moved from 7% to 5% above the 20d MA) led to a
considerable rally in COP in the last days of 2015. Since
then, the currency has been slowly weakening in line
with the sell-off in oil, a trend we believe will continue
in 2016 even if "risk on" sentiment eventually resumes.
This is predicated on three arguments: a more dovish
BanRep in terms of monetary policy (despite the
overshooting in inflation), further deterioration on the
CA (imports stickiness) and an increase in risk-premium
due to fiscal woes. From the RV perspective the
undervaluation of MXN/COP vs. the current levels of oil
is clear, and in relative terms COP has greater exposure
than MXN to further crude weakness (a major risk
factor for 2016).
Copper block and intervention wil€ingness: Long
PEN/CLP (target 230 stop 205 ref:212)
Falling copper prices and a flight to dollar deposits
fueled by rising depreciation expectations led the PEN
to slip 12% vs. USO in 2015. Interventions in the spot
market (USD7.3bn in net sales) and through FX swaps
(USD8bn outstanding) have assuaged pressures and as
a result PEN depreciation was not as extensive as that
of other commodity exporters in the region. With
foreign reserves still amounting to 32% of GDP (13%
net of banks' reserve requirements), the BCRP has
enough firepower to absorb additional external shocks.
Further, given the relatively high inflation pass-through
and the dollarization of the economy we believe that
this trend of relative outperformance vs. other regional
commodity exporters will persist in 2016.
Therefore, PEN should remain highly managed and
strengthen relative to regional peers in 2016. CLP is in
our view a natural candidate to fund PEN longs despite
the light positioning, valuation and better fundamentals.
The explicit BCCh stance regarding FX intervention, a
relatively flat rates curve, progressively lower inflation
pass-through, low foreign participation in local markets
and the advanced stage of the country's external
adjustment all support the case for a free-floating CLP
(much needed for a small open economy like Chile).
Further, the PEN/CLP cross significantly reduces
exposure to copper, though is not entirely copper-
neutral.
