Mozambique and Senegal's eurobonds are currently outperforming other emerging markets, topping returns amidst a broader decline in the sector. This positive performance is primarily attributed to advancements in discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding new financial programs for both nations.
The gains in these eurobonds stand in contrast to a general downturn observed across other emerging markets. This wider dip has been fueled by a significant increase in developed-market yields, particularly in countries like the US and Japan. Investors in these developed markets are reportedly concerned about rising fiscal deficits and inflationary pressures.
