"Emerging market local debt faced Q1 volatility from Middle East tensions but maintains attractive fundamentals. Central bank easing, continued disinflation, and dollar weakness create compelling opportunities."
Invesco's Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund underperformed in Q1 2026, declining 3.74% as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East drove volatility in energy prices and currency markets. The managers reduced foreign currency exposure and duration positioning during the quarter. Despite near-term headwinds, the team maintains a constructive outlook based on several supportive factors. Emerging market central banks continued cautious monetary easing as disinflation trends gained momentum and policy credibility was restored. The US dollar's 9% decline in 2025 and continued weakness creates favorable conditions for local currency debt. Real interest rates remain elevated while nominal yields offer attractive income potential. The managers believe economic and policy divergences across regions create compelling opportunities for active management. Key risks include ongoing geopolitical tensions and potential volatility from shifting Fed expectations. However, the fundamental backdrop of narrowing growth differentials, conventional monetary policy normalization, and attractive valuations supports the medium to long-term investment case for emerging market local debt.
