if we bought that on August 13th what would mark to market be? are you still recommending this same position? please advise thank you Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. Begin forwarded message: From: Paul Barrett Subject: EM Update Date: August 23, 2018 at 10:18:43 AM EDT To: jeffrey E. <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]» Cc: Richard Kahn Brazil Update: 2 EFTA_R1_01796249 EFTA02605651
BRL continues to weaken. Elections are October 7: Election Day (first-round) and then October 28: Second-round vote. Further weakness going into the election could give us a very interesting entry point. Recall we saw big relief rallies in ZAR and MXN post-elections. TRY Update: Quiet week given EID. Spot at 6.0900. No new incremental news. RUB Update: Central Bank intervening to support RUB. Spot at 68.00. Down about 2% on the week. "Russia's central bank said it will suspend sales of rubles to purchase foreign exchange through the end of September in an effort to steady the currency, helping pull it back from the lowest level in two years."
