Chinoy (Head of Asia Economics) and Tim West (Executive Director, Japan Sales) are joined in this week’s podcast by:

Ben Ramsey, Nishant Poojary and Jonny Goulden discuss the latest publication on EM Sovereign External Repayment Risks. This report builds on our previous work, providing a comprehensive assessment of external repayment risks across a broad set of EM and frontier sovereigns. We focus on 18 sovereigns flagged by our risk metric assessment as most vulnerable to credit events. Our set of countries features many familiar names that have faced stress in the past, but there are also some new names in the mix.

Our key finding is that the majority of at-risk EM sovereigns possess sufficient reserves and financing sources to meet upcoming Eurobond amortizations through 2026.

Agri markets have returned to the US trade agenda, following President Trump’s commitment to discuss China’s absence of US soybean export orders at an upcoming meeting with President Xi. However, it’s likely too late for US soybean farmers and exporters to regain market share through the current season, unless the Chinese reserve moves into stockpiling mode.

During this episode, Tracey also discusses the agri market outlook including recent fundamental developments and weather risks as the ENSO cycle is transitioning to La Nina. Our September 2025 assessment of global agri commodity fundamentals has found that availability remains at or near multi-year lows in 2025/26 and with markets priced for production perfection, we see upside price risks ahead across much of the complex.

A larger than initially expected supply disruption from the world’s second largest copper mine, Freeport’s Grasberg in Indonesia, will significantly tighten the copper market in the coming quarters and has flipped our forecasted S&D balance to deficits for this year and in 2026.  Much tighter fundamentals and the draw on limited ex-US inventory flips us bullish on copper, seeing prices pushing towards $11,250/mt in the coming quarters.
