Abstract
AbstractIn emerging market economies, currency appreciation goes hand in hand with compressed sovereign bond spreads, even for local currency sovereign bonds. This yield compression comes from a reduction in the credit risk premium. Crucially, the relevant exchange rate involved in yield compression is the bilateral U.S. dollar exchange rate, not the trade‐weighted exchange rate. Our findings highlight endogenous co‐movement of bond risk premia and exchange rates through the portfolio choice of global investors who evaluate returns in dollar terms.
