34、al markets saw sizable outflows from both local debt and equities(more so in equities).Even though the outflows have weak-ened of late,the size of the outflows is the largest since last July.Flow dynamics are even more striking given that after strong inflows in April,the deterioration in flows of E
35、M local assets came on the back of the escalation of the trade war and the weak performance in April(both FX and local bonds).In April,EM local bonds(both FX-unhedged and hedged)provided negative returns(please see the April performance review ).As we have pointed out in the past,weak performance,co
36、nsequently,leads to outflows with a lag of a few weeks.This recur-ring pattern strengthens again the argument we made in the report Flows chase performance.The outflows were further amplified by the rising risk sentiments amid the renewed trade war.In May,local bonds saw solid performance while FX p
37、osted negative returns,which seems neutral for flows in June.The heightened risk aversion,however,would weigh on flows into EM local assets in the following weeks.The EM Risk Monitor has turned sharply into risk negative territory,after a short period in risk-positive territory.All three regions fol

41、dings is still well below the 35%peak in March-18).Further,term premium remains high and Russian fixed income remains among the most attractive fixed income markets within our EM Fixed Income Scorecard.nOn FX,we argue that despite the strong rally so far this year,RUB longs remain attractive.In part
42、icular,the strong improvement in the current 31 May 2019EM Macro and Strategy FocusDeutsche Bank Securities Inc.Page 23account from 2.5%of GDP last year to 7%of GDP this year means Russia is looking to run solid current account surpluses even in the seasonally weaker second and third quarters.We als
43、o view cautious and gradual easing by the CBR as helping to maintain a healthy rates buffer for RUB.While some measures of short-term positioning are extended,RUB Is the only high-yielding EM that doesnt suffer from a long-term positioning overhang.Finally,our long-term valuation models suggests the
44、re is still substantial room for RUB appreciation,with an average of the models putting USD/RUB fair value close to 57.nFI to outperform FX:Looking at RV between FX and FI,we argue that local bonds look somewhat more attractive at the moment.Although local bonds have caught up with the performance i
45、n FX after noticeable underperformance in January and February,we now see domestic dynamics as well as the external backdrop as more favourable for FI than FX.Among others,RUB has benefitted from significant inflows in Russian fixed income over the past few months.In fact,since YTD,Russia has issued
46、 USD 18bn in local debt,which is 2x more than at the same time in 2018.Foreigners have accumulated around 5.5bn in bond holdings during this period.Given favourable demand dynamics,MinFin has already reached its supply target for Q2 and recently announced that it would not increase the overall suppl
47、y for this year.While we continue to expect some front-loaded borrowing(to prepare for any additional US sanctions),we now expect noticeably lower supply at the weekly auctions.While this supports local bonds(lower term premium),it limits the amount of foreign inflows and therefore does not provide
48、an additional boost for RUB.Further,we argue that falling inflation and the expected easing cycle will support fixed income more than FX;in addition,FX-buying under the fiscal rule will limit the upside potential for RUB.Last but not least although both RUB and OFZs are in general not highly sensiti
49、ve to external shocks we believe the current environment with low core rates,uncertainty on trade war,slowing global growth and potential addition stimuli by global central banks is more favourable for EMFI than EMFX.nDespite our slightly more constructive view on FI vs FX,we would dissuade investor
50、s from hedging the FX exposure or any RV trades in rates vs FX.We still favor positioning in local bonds FX unhedged and overweight Russian fixed income in our portfolio.Figure 30:RUB stands out on twin surplusesRUBZARTRYCZKPLNHUFILSCNYPHPIDRINRKRWBRLCLPCOPMXNMYR-8-6-4-2024-6-4-202468Current account
