Emerging markets fixed income delivered mixed returns in Q4 2018 with sovereign and corporate credit recording negative returns amid a significant widening of spreads. This was only partially offset by the rally in US Treasury yields. Meanwhile, local EM saw positive returns as lower yields offset weaker currency affects almost everywhere.

Trade wars subside: no additional tariffs
Developed market growth resynchronises: US slows and Europe is stable
Commodity prices recover and stabilize
