Here is our report for today, October 9, 2025, with some insights into various investment opportunities.

Here are some key highlights:

  • Bond Market Overview: Dollar-denominated bonds offer yields ranging from 4.252% to 4.934%, with maturities between June 2026 and April 2035. Peso-denominated bonds present higher yields, from 4.955% to 6.200%, for maturities stretching from January 2026 to January 2039.

  • Stock Recommendations: A diversified conglomerate earned an OVERWEIGHT rating as its share price zoomed around 48% year-to-date along with a high dividend yield of around 8% at current market levels. Another conglomerate was given a NEUTRAL rating amid a drop in its core net income arising from the anemic performance of its mining, construction and cement businesses. A liquor company has an UNDERWEIGHT recommendation as it continues to face headwinds from declining alcohol consumption amid shifting consumer preferences.

  • Spotlight: Emerging markets are ascendant. Robust earnings growth, stable inflation, and a weakening US dollar point to EM assets’ strong performance. Clients may therefore consider the iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond UCITS ETF. It has a total year-to-date return of 10.56%.
