An IMF forecast suggests by next year the economies of at least two BRIC nations could be on fire.
They says China's economy should grow by 8.5% in 2010 while India will likely see growth of 6.5%.
But the robust pace of development isn't limited to just these nations. Overall they say growth in emerging and developing economies should accelerate to 4.7% in 2010 from 1.5% this year.
Not too shabby.
But before you take the plunge, Steve Cortes of Veracruz has a word of caution. These markets are so hot you could get burned.
He tells the Fast Money desk that most emerging market ETFs should be tracking the downturn in commodities prices; historically they're highly correlated. But so far they haven’t moved lower to the same degree. That suggests to Cortes that either the ETFs are too high or commodities are too low and some kind of correction is at hand. As a result he recommends the following trades:
Don’t Get Burned’ By Hot Emerging Markets Trades
Short Brazil ETF
ShortEmerging Markets ETF
LongAg Commodities ETF
LongOil Fund
“The chasm between the physicals and the prices of shares can’t sustain themselves. As you can see above I’m a buyer of physicals and a seller of shares,” says Cortes.
In other words he’s shorting the ETFs which he thinks could move lower and getting long the commodities which could move higher.
