Great post as usual! Like the idea of long HYG... EMB looks like it still needs to form a bit of a base.

Thank you!

Yes, charts are still a bit uncertain but anything with shorter maturity should do fine, especially after the Timiraos article and the comments made by several FED members. If I may add, if anyone is particularly interested in investing for the long-term in EMB bonds (constituents of EMB) he/she can get some very juicy yields.

The one thing that would put me off EMB right now is the strong dollar. Personally, I'm not going to touch it until I see the long dollar trade come to an end.

This is the exact reason I like EMB so much. I am confident we are near a short-term top in the dollar. Just announced on Twitter that we initiated a long position in EMB with an average price of $77.83. I am thinking of reducing risk and enhancing the yield on the position by shorting calls at a later stage if I get this one right.
