Emerging markets shrug off Iran war in record foreign borrowing spree
Fallout from conflict, rising interest rates and a strong dollar have not dented investor appetite for EM bonds
Why it matters
DXY (US Dollar Index) · Why linked: A strong dollar is cited as a headwind for EM borrowers and is a key driver of the story. Market context: Continued dollar strength raises debt-servicing costs for EM issuers and pressures EM assets.
TLT (20+ Year Treasury) · Why linked: Rising global yields, including US Treasuries, are referenced as the backdrop pressuring EM bond markets. Market context: Higher US Treasury yields raise the risk-free benchmark, typically weighing on long-duration bond ETFs.
