Turkey, the Czech Republic, Sri Lanka and Romania are at risk of currency crises over the next 12 months, according to a Nomura Holdings Inc. gauge that has predicted past selloffs.

Each of the countries scored above 100 on the bank’s “Damocles” gauge, a signal that they’re vulnerable to a currency meltdown. Its model pools eight indicators that helped forecast 64% of the 61 emerging-market currency crises since 1996, the Tokyo-based firm said.
