NEW YORK, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Short-duration Brazil EI bonds
<BRAZEI=RR> will benefit from the scheduled partial
amortization of Brazil IDU <BRAIDU=RR> bonds, Merrill Lynch
writes in its Emerging Markets Daily report.
On January 4, Brazil will make about $900 million in
payment on the IDUs.
When Brazilian banks, which are the majority holders of
IDUs, receive that payment, they will look to plow the money
back into short-maturity Brazilian Brady bonds, benefiting the
EIs, Merrill said.
The $900 million IDU amortization payment represents about
24 percent of the $3.7 billion current market capitalization of
the EI bonds.
"We expect this potential demand wil place more (upward
price) pressure on the EI than has existed in the past,"
Merrill analysts wrote. "Furthermore, our analysis shows that
although the EI bond has rallied recently, the rally has been
consistent with the overall rally in Brazil. We do not believe
the EI rally has yet run its course."
The IDUs were down 5/8 at 99.0625 late Wednesday while the
EIs were unchanged at 87-5/8.
