Market insights and commentary from Value Partners.

Value Partners reviews global multi-asset conditions as of end-May 2026, highlighting a shift to heightened volatility after strong April–May rallies, driven by hotter-than-expected US inflation, renewed US-Iran tensions, and a higher-for-longer rate narrative. The piece provides asset-class-level views across Asia and EM equities, Asia IG/HY bonds, EM debt, gold, and multi-asset strategy, with a cautious near-term stance and selective longer-term constructiveness on China A-shares, Asia credit, and gold.

Value Partners reviews Asia credit market performance in May 2026, noting spread tightening of 9bps in IG and 32bps in HY amid a risk-on backdrop, mixed US inflation signals, and stabilising but fragile Chinese growth. The firm maintains an underweight duration stance given persistent inflation pressures and higher-for-longer Fed policy expectations, while highlighting outperformance in BBB-rated IG bonds and frontier HY sovereigns such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Mongolia.

Value Partners reviews Asia USD credit markets in April 2026, noting a strong recovery in both IG and HY segments as spreads tightened 11bps and 73bps respectively, supported by improved risk sentiment following a US-Iran ceasefire. The firm maintains a conservative, modestly underweight duration stance given higher-for-longer rate expectations, persistent inflation uncertainty, and negative net supply in Asia USD credit year-to-date.
