TRY Spot 5.7799. lyr Forward at - 7.2900.
Saudi or Turkey Index — will get pricing but I assume you get the total return of the Index and pay L+ 50-100bps.

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.

well given how USD call vol has exploded vs USD puts.
• BRL 3 month vol has gone from 12% to 20%
• RUB 3 month vol has gone from 10% to 16%
• TRY 3 month vol has gone from 20% to 47%
