LONDON (Reuters) - Analysts at Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) have forecast double-digit returns on high yield - also known as junk - emerging market bonds over next 12 months if the world gets over its coronavirus worries.

"We continue to think EM HY sovereigns offer the best risk-adjusted total return opportunity: our 12m target of ~600bp for EM HY spreads (from ~730bp currently) implies double-digit total return potential," Goldman said in a note on Thursday.
