Emerging-market 10-year yields fall below developed markets on debt-weighted basis, Homrich & Berg says

• Emerging-market 10-year sovereign yields fell below developed-market yields on a debt-weighted basis for the first time on record, an October 21, 2026 analysis found.
• Debt-weighted emerging-market yields stood at 4.47%, versus 4.58% for developed markets, an 11-basis-point inversion.
• Among developed markets tracked, 13 of 20 had 10-year yields near decade highs; none of the emerging markets reached that threshold.
• Government debt totaled 108% of GDP in developed markets, compared with 74% in emerging markets.
• Rising term premiums accounted for about one-third of the increase in U.S. yields over the past year, reflecting higher long-term borrowing risks.
