FYI: Emerging market bond ETFs hit a rough patch in recent weeks, dropping quickly amid sudden dollar movements and geopolitical concerns.
The sharp move lower came on the heels of two-plus years of strong performance in dollar-denominated emerging market bonds, local-currency sovereign bonds as well as in high-yield debt—as measured here by the iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMB), the VanEck Vectors J.P. Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF (EMLC) and the iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (EMHY), the biggest ETF in each of those bond segments.
