suggest a new trade where we pay 5-year IRS outright at 3.70% (target 4.20%).

Russia: We have been running this trade for a month and a half, and it has remained stable but produced positive carry as
We increase overweight expected.We increase our overweight in Russian Eurobonds in our EMBIG model portfolio from 0.4 to 1.1 by selling
7 million of the Russia ’30s and buying 3.4 million of the ’28s. We expect Russia’s 2010 issuance of new Eurobonds
(predicting US$9 billion of issuance in 1H10) to be SEC-registered, which may be followed by an exchange of the
existing non-SEC-registered Russia ’18s, ’28s, and ’30s for SEC-registered bonds. These developments will most
likely trigger inclusion of these bonds in the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index, and attract a new client pool to
purchase Russian SEC-registered issues. The '28s are even more likely than the ’30s to be included in an exchange
for SEC-registered debt. Also, the Russian ’30s have outperformed the Russian '28s by 42bp between the closes on
November 3 and January 5. In addition, the Russian '28s are trading 68bp and 55bp wide of their Brazilian and
Mexican counterparts, respectively.
CEEMEA FX
Turkey: Target 1.40; stop 1.55; last 1.52. Retail buying of USD, which kept USD/TRY rangebound in 2H09, should slow as
Sell 6-month USD/TRY the economy recovers from recession.
Russia: Target 25.5; stop 31.2; last 30.63. USD weakness and rising commodity prices are expected to support RUB. While
Sell 6-month USD/RUB there is a near-term risk that measures are taken to curb FX borrowing, we believe that the CBR will accept faster
appreciation as growth recovers.
Hungary: Target 172; stop: 195; last: 193.90. Hungary is alone in CEEMEA in reporting improving current account and budget
Sell 2-month USD/HUF deficits. In our view, investor positions in HUF do not reflect the improving economic fundamentals or the high yield.
Poland: Target 3.80; stop 4.40; last 4.30. PLN is the CEEMEA region’s most undervalued currency, in our view, and fear over
Sell 12-month EUR/PLN rising public debt levels should diminish as growth rebounds more strongly than expected.
Nigeria: Buy naira based on our confidence that buoyant oil prices and rising oil production will support the Nigerian currency.
Sell USD/NGN We see value in selling USD/NGN on temporary spikes above 150 (currently at 149.25) with a 6% yield pickup. We
also recommend owning NGN-denominated AAA supranational Eurobonds at yields of around 8%.
CEEMEA Rates
South Africa: Target: 8.3%; stop: 9.5%; current 9.11%. The market is very underweight both outright and relative to the high level
Long R186 of yields. Local issuance remains a concern, but the yield pickup more than reflects this. With the SARB on hold for
the medium term and inflation falling, the long end should perform best.
Russia: long 3-year OFZ Target: 7.25, stop: 10, current: 8.43. The CBR continues to provide liquidity to the local market, both directly and through
continued rate reductions, while also emphasizing a need for banks to improve balance sheet quality. With investors
also underweight Russia, this combination of carry and active support should continue to move bond yields lower.
Turkey: 2-year/5-year steepener, Stop: -25bp; target: +90bp. The 2-year/5-year slope is only 22bp positively sloped one year forward currently and yet
one year forward is at 131bp in the spot market. As we believe the CBRT has now paused and potentially ended its easing cycle, we
expect the curve to earn significant slide as it remains relatively static (3-month slide on this trade is 44bp).
Ghana: Long Ghanaian cedi The combination of local yields above 20% and good prospects for cedi appreciation support our recommendation to
through FX forwards hold a long GHC position through FX forwards (with an expected return of 30%).
Current spread: -7bp; 3-year low: -103bp; 3-year high: +13bp. Almost carry; defensive trade. The skew of this pair is
for a tighter (more negative) spread. Local specifics were a major drag for the Mexican economy in 2009, while
global drivers may dominate in 2010. For Colombia, the conflict with Venezuela, sub-par growth, and a heavy
political calendar point to higher risks next year.

Jamaica: We remain overweight Despite further delays in negotiations with the IMF for a Stand-By Arrangement worth US$1.3 billion and lingering
investor concerns regarding a possible debt restructuring, Jamaica outperformed the broader market rally in

would most likely be restricted to domestic debt.

Analyst Certification: The research analyst(s) denoted by an “AC” on the cover of this report (or, where multiple research analysts are primarily responsible for this report or sections within,
the research analyst denoted by an “AC” on the cover or within the document individually certifies, with respect to each security or issuer that the research analyst covers in this research)
that: (1) all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect his or her personal views about any and all of the subject securities or issuers; and (2) no part of any of the research analyst’s
compensation was, is, or will be directly or indirectly related to the specific recommendations or views expressed by the research analyst(s) in this report.
Conflict of Interest: This research contains the views, opinions and recommendations of J.P. Morgan credit research analysts and research strategists. Research analysts and strategists routinely
consult with J.P. Morgan trading desk personnel in formulating views, opinions and recommendations in preparing research. Trading desks may trade, or have traded, as principal on the basis
of the research analyst(s) and strategist(s) views and report(s). Therefore, this research may not be independent from the proprietary interests of J.P. Morgan trading desks which may conflict
with your interests. In addition, research analysts and strategists receive compensation based, in part, on the quality and accuracy of their analysis, client feedback, trading desk and firm revenues
and competitive factors. As a general matter, J.P. Morgan and/or its affiliates normally make a market and trade as principal in fixed income securities discussed in research reports.
Analysts’ Compensation: The research analysts responsible for the preparation of this report receive compensation based upon various factors, including the quality and accuracy of research, client feedback, competitive factors
and overall firm revenues. The firm’s overall revenues include revenues from its investment banking and fixed income business units.
Ratings System: J.P. Morgan uses the following sector/issuer portfolio weightings: Overweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to outperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark),
Neutral (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to perform in line with the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), and Underweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is
expected to underperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark). J.P. Morgan’s Emerging Market research uses a rating of Marketweight, which is equivalent to a Neutral rating.
J.P. Morgan Credit Research Ratings Distribution, as of December 31, 2009
Overweight Marketweight Underweight
EEMEA Credit Research Universe 23% 52% 25%
IB clients* 69% 76% 65%
Represents Ratings on the most liquid bond or 5-year CDS for all companies under coverage.
* Percentage of investment banking clients in each rating category.
Valuation and Methodology: In J.P. Morgan’s credit research, we assign a rating to each company (Overweight, Underweight or Neutral) based on our credit view of the company and the relative value of its financial instruments,
taking into account the ratings assigned to the company by credit rating agencies and the market prices for the company’s securities. Our credit view of a company is based upon our opinion as to whether the company will be able
service its debt obligations when they become due and payable. We assess this by analyzing, among other things, the company’s credit position using standard credit ratios such as cash flow to debt and fixed charge coverage
(including and excluding capital investment). We also analyze the company’s ability to generate cash flow by reviewing standard operational measures for comparable companies in the sector, such as revenue and earnings growth
rates, margins, and the composition of the company’s balance sheet relative to the operational leverage in its business.
Options related research: If the information contained herein regards options related research, such information is available only to persons who have received the proper option risk disclosure documents. For a copy of
