Waiting for the US job report


Brazil (BUY): Today inflation data for July will be released.
Czech Republic: As expected, the central bank held interest rates at 0.75%.
Turkey (BUY): The lira was under pressure yesterday due to a delay of a ‘fiscal-policy rule'.
Peru (BUY): Yesterday, the central bank (NBR) surprisingly raised interest rates by 0.50
percentage point to 2.50%.
EM Daily - Overview
Relatively small movements were seen in the financial markets yesterday, and the markets are
undoubtedly waiting for the release of the US job report today. The EMBI credit spread widened by 4
bp to 294, and the index generated a return of 0.08%, while the GBI EM ended the day up 0.19%. The
lira was among the worst-performing emerging-market currencies, and Turkish yields rose by about
5 bp due a later-than-expected approval of a ‘fiscal-policy rule’ in parliament. As expected, the Czech
central bank held interest rates at 0.75%, but the latest appreciation of the koruna was not cause for
much concern. The Peruvian central bank surprisingly raised interest rates by half a point to 2.50%,
and this is likely to affect both interest rates and the nuevo sol in today’s trading session. The most
important EM event today is consumer prices from Brazil. The general sentiment in the market will
be determined by the outcome of the US job report (JB: down 40,000). If the job report disappoints, it
will adversely affect the general appetite for risk and thus also the emerging-market bonds.

The EMBI Global Diversified


The EMBI Global Diversified Index is a JP Morgan Chase index, which covers the aggregate return on USD-denominated bonds
issued by emerging market countries and government bodies. This includes Brady bonds, loans, Eurobonds and local
instruments. 39 countries are covered. The expression ‘diversified’ means that the weightings of the individual countries are
reduced, and the Index is therefore an excellent tool for Danish institutional investors. All returns are in USD. Past performance
is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The gains may increase or decline as a result of exchange-rate fluctuations.

for the correctness of the material nor any liability for transactions made on the basis of the information or the estimates of
the report. The estimates and recommendations of the research report may be changed without notice. The report is for the
personal use of Jyske Bank's customers and may not be copied.

This is a recommendation and not an in-depth investment report.

Conflicts of interest
Jyske Bank has prepared procedures to prevent conflicts of interest. These procedures have been incorporated in the business
procedures covering the research activities of Jyske Markets, a business unit of Jyske Bank.

Jyske Bank's emerging-market analysts may not hold positions in the instruments for which they independently prepare
research reports. Jyske Bank may, however, hold positions, have interests in or business relations with the instruments that
are analysed. The analysts receive no payment from persons interested in individual research reports.

Read more about Jyske bank's policy on conflicts of interest at www.jyskebank.dk/terms.

Risk associated with the bond


Investment in an emerging-market bond involves risk. Many factors, including the country’s credit quality, willingness to pay,
liquidity, social conditions and economic development may affect the price of the bond. Indirect factors may also affect the
price of the bond, for instance global economic factors, global risk tolerance and geopolitical risks. See the research report for
our view on the risk. The risk factors stated in the report should not be regarded as exhaustive.

FX risk
If the bond is traded in a currency other than the investor’s base currency (this is often the case), the investor accepts an FX
risk. The FX risk is in many cases affected by the same factors as the bond (see above). We will assess the FX risk where we find
it necessary. The FX risk factors stated in the research report should not be regarded as exhaustive.

Update of regular research reports


We update EM Daily every day. We update EM Outlook every week. We update EM Recommendations at least once a week.
Our view of the individual countries will be updated on a regular basis in these publications. See the front page of the research
report for the date of the latest update.

Update of separate research reports

Separate reports are not updated. A new research report will be published when we find it necessary. This will often be the
case when there are significant changes which are relevant for investors. This includes changes in the recommendation, a
significant change of the risk associated with the bond or a significant change in FX risk. See the front page of the report for
the date when the research report was published. Separate recommendations are only published once.
