The majority of EM currencies, they said, “would fare poorly in spot terms during the next year.”

This year, the stronger dollar and South Africa's economic difficulties have hurt the rand. The second-worst performing emerging-market currency over the previous month, it lost more than 5% of its value against the dollar.
