EM hard currency spreads stayed firm, with the EMBI GD spread down 10bp in August to 235bp and its yield at 7.20%. Local currency returns were led by carry, with the GBI-EM GD yield at 6.33%.

At the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium, Chair Kevin Warsh discussed longer-term themes, including artificial intelligence, and affirmed a shift away from forward guidance on future Fed moves.
He maintained the Fed’s commitment to returning above-target inflation to 2%.
