Bond Return? Is that the same as yield?

Ben J asked:


JP Morgan’s EMBI+ Index tracks the returns for actively traded external debt instruments in emerging market (ie. return on emerging market bonds). Is the return the same as the yield, because their chart shows an increase in the yield, meaning ppl are still moving away from risk?? (It has recently stabilised)

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Jeff. So I cannot use the index as a benchmark yield of emerging market bonds (to compare against US bonds?)

Thanks.
