Argentina EMBI looks cheap at 503 bp vs fair 389 bp (+114 bp wide).

  • Local equities fell, which put downward pressure on the local policy rate, which typically tightens the EMBI spread. That does not appear to have been incorporated into the current spread.
  • USD broad decreased, which put downward pressure on the local policy–Fed funds gap, which typically tightens the EMBI spread. That does not appear to have been incorporated into the current spread.
