Daily Brady Bond Trading Commentary

Dealers showed weak hands Thursday, selling emerging markets debt as U.S. tech stocks and local equity markets tumbled. End-of-quarter considerations may have been adding fuel to the fire as well, and Friday should shape up to be a volatile day. We believe that underlying fundamentals remain positive and that further equity-related selling, were it to continue Friday morning, would provide a good buying opportunity. We also believe it is prudent to focus on assets that country's like Mexico and Brazil will continue to retire. Ecuadorian President Noboa's decision to veto the provision for voluntary restructuring of private sector debt may be costly in that final IMF board approval of the recent financing agreement has not yet been achieved.
