J.P. Morgan Asset Management's European Market Monitor provides comparative fixed income metrics across global asset classes hedged to EUR as of August 28, 2026. It highlights yields to worst, option-adjusted spreads (OAS), and Solvency II spread SCR capital-adjusted yields across maturities.

The August 2026 European Market Monitor summarizes cross-market fixed income yields and credit spreads hedged into EUR. Across major subsectors, current EUR-hedged effective yields range from 3.18% in EUR Treasuries to 4.95% in USD High Yield Corporate debt. Credit spreads (OAS) sit near cyclically tight levels, with EUR Corp BBB at 88 bps and USD Corp BBB at 98 bps. From a Solvency II regulatory capital perspective, covered bonds across EUR, GBP, and USD show the highest return on spread SCR (RoSCR), while emerging market debt and high-yield corporates face substantially higher spread capital charges.
