India After The Elections: Structural Story Dented, But Not Derailed

The NDA has retained power with a reduced majority, sparking concerns over potential policy shifts, but we remain cautiously optimistic. While we expect a continuation of the recent fiscal consolidation trend - aided by the buoyancy in tax collections and the higher-than-expected central bank dividends - we also acknowledge the risk of more populist stance given the new political dynamics.

EMB: Countries Not That Exposed To Dangers Of US Stagflation

The EMB has a lot of dollar-pegged exposures, so FX risks and carry trade pressures are avoided to a degree. Other countries benefit from implicit dollarisation, or are dollar-long economies, which limits FX risks on the debts. Even with countries that are reducing rates and are less dollarised, debt levels are relatively low, and country-level commodity exposures are solid. So no broad credit risks.

EMB: A Lot Of Good News Priced In To Emerging Market Bonds

EMB offers extreme diversification with exposure to over 50 sovereign entities and over 600 bonds, with a portfolio yield to maturity generally above 7%.

EMB: Will Benefit From A Dollar Decline

A dollar decline should send money into more fringe currencies represented in the EMB. Many of these countries benefit from resource-rich economies and have space to enact favorable policy thanks to lower, stable, and even benign rates of inflation reflecting economic prosperity. A weaker dollar also improves the finances of many of these emerging market sovereigns who may have USD-denominated debt.
