Rich mentioned you are looking at Turkey and Saudi.
1 year Turkish Lira forwards are implying local interest rates around 29.30%. Could be a good way to play it.
Also we could do total return swaps on Saudi or Turkish indices. Better liquidity than the ETFs.

Summary of some options when ready:
• Brazil local currency bond prices have been very stable. Most of the move has been in USDBRL. Best
Option — Brazil 12.5% 2022 @7% YTM denom in BRL (vs lyr FX forward implying 6.9%)
• Russian RUB govt bonds down 2 points. Mainly a RUB move. Best Option - Russia 6.4% 5/27/2020 @
7.45% YTM denom in RUB (vs lyr FX forward implying 7.06%)
• Turkey TRY denominated govt bonds down 10 points since last week and 36 points since April (63
price). Yielding 21%. I prefer using a lyr TRY forward which equates to a 27% yield and not worry
about illiquidity in their bond market.
FX Spot Changes

• FX vol has also exploded. Do you want to see some option prices? The risk reversals are also pricing
very well given how USD call vol has exploded vs USD puts.
o BRL 3 month vol has gone from 12% to 20%
o RUB 3 month vol has gone from 10% to 16%
o TRY 3 month vol has gone from 20% to 47%
