Foreign investors are increasing allocations to emerging-market bonds across Asia even as expectations of a more hawkish Federal Reserve persist. Multiple reports say fund inflows are driven by the relative yield advantage of these fixed-income assets and by beliefs that central banks in the region will keep interest rates elevated for longer.
