Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| Emerging-markets (EM) fixed income returns were broadly negative in March, rounding out a difficult first quarter of the year for the sector. While excess returns in hard currency sovereign and corporate credit were positive during the month, the steady increase in U.S. Treasury yields weighed on total returns. Hard currency corporates continued to outperform given a shorter duration profile and strong technicals. EM local debt returns lagged, as the U.S. dollar showed strength against most EM currencies, while yields in several local markets moved higher. EM debt fund flows slowed to a modestly positive result for the month. While local currency funds attracted inflows, hard currency funds experienced outflows. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| Rising yields in developed markets have tempered enthusiasm for EM debt to start 2021. We believe this dynamic is manageable, as higher rates come in the context of an improving growth backdrop, stronger commodity prices, and well-balanced external accounts. Inflation momentum has picked up, causing some EM central banks to step away from historic levels of monetary policy accommodation. However, in most cases, negative output gaps suggest price pressures should prove transitory. Although renewed COVID-19 outbreaks may hinder the economic recovery in some jurisdictions, on the whole, EM countries are avoiding harsh restrictions and we expect growth to continue to rebound. The vaccine rollout in EM countries has begun, and despite the gradual start, we anticipate the pace of deployment will increase through the balance of 2021. | |
| Under a core scenario where virus effects diminish, we think EM growth is poised to improve in 2021. China’s economy has proven resilient, and in many cases, EM countries have handled the crisis as well or better than developed markets. With developed market central banks committed to easy monetary policy, we believe valuations and income opportunities in hard and local currency EM debt are compelling. We believe that a weakening U.S. dollar could provide an additional tailwind for EM assets. | |
