EXPOSURE AND FLOWS: Eurobonds on My Mind

In July, ATON’s affluent and high-net-worth clients continued to reduce their equity positions on US-Russia tensions, and boosted exposure to Eurobonds and government bonds using the local jump in yields as a buying opportunity. The surge in corn and wheat prices, as well as a rebound in urea from multi-year lows spurred investors’ interest in chemicals; however, we reiterate our HOLD rating on the sector in light of looming abundant new supply. Investors took profits in Yandex following the stock’s rally on the agreement to merge ride-hailing operations with Uber, and bought RSTI on results. Investment style was cherry-picking among exporters that benefit from a weaker RUB, as there was appetite for names that are still cheap, trading below 4x EBITDA.
