Robeco’s fixed income team examines how higher yields, heavy issuance and resilient growth are reshaping opportunities across rates, credit and emerging-market debt.

- Emerging-market debt still offers attractive carry, but higher energy prices, a firm dollar and tighter global conditions favour selective positioning.
