MARKET
» Emerging-markets (EM) fixed-income performance was weak in the first half of March, but improved following
the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed's) monetary policy announcement, which was perceived as relatively dovish
by markets. Sentiment around the euro area remained optimistic due to improving economic data and the
European Central Bank’s (ECB) quantitative easing program. Local currency EM debt underperformed US
dollar-pay bonds, particularly as currencies depreciated against the US dollar.
» The political toll of the Petrobras corruption scandal continued to mount. In response to the scandal, large
scale protests were staged across Brazil on March 15th, with many protestors calling for the impeachment of
President Rousseff. As the political dynamics played out, S&P affirmed the country’s BBB- credit rating with a
stable outlook. The stable outlook is an important positive for the government's new economic team as they
attempt to implement a fiscal adjustment program to retain Brazil's investment-grade status.

OUTLOOK
» Monetary policy in the developed world is diverging; the US Fed is cautiously approaching a hiking cycle,
while the ECB has embarked on quantitative easing. However, the abundance of global liquidity and the
prevailing low inflation environment have kept developed market interest rates subdued. While EM central
banks have flexibility, investors will scrutinize countries’ monetary policy and external vulnerabilities as the
Fed normalizes rates. Also, disparate growth and structural reform prospects among EMs support the theme
of country differentiation.
