US investment in global bonds: as the Fed pushes, some EMEs pull
研究了美国投资者国际债券投资组合的调整,发现其持续增加对新兴市场本币债券的配置,这既受美国低利率等全球因素推动,也受新兴经济体自身良好宏观经济基本面吸引。
We analyse reallocations within the international bond portfolios of US investors. The most striking empirical observation is a steady increase in US investors’ allocations towards emerging market local currency bonds, unabated by the global financial crisis and accelerating in the post-crisis period. Part of the increase in emerging market economy (EME) allocations is associated with global ‘push’ factors such as low US long-term interest rates and unconventional monetary policy as well as subdued risk aversion/expected volatility. But also evident is investor differentiation among EMEs, with the largest reallocations going to those EMEs with strong macroeconomic fundamentals such as less volatile inflation and more positive current account balances.
