For this same broker, The preference for dollar-linked bonds versus CERs paid off: “Today, we maintain the preference, for various reasons: The rates continue to be more favorable for the former than for the latter. The CER carry, despite being clearly superior to the official crawling peg, could be less than expected in the short term, after high frequency estimates for January showed that, in the absence of significant adjustments in relative prices, inflation could even have been lower than in December; The strong appreciation of the real exchange rate invites us not to rule out another devaluation for March-April“.
