Emerging-market bond sales are roaring back from last month’s doldrums, as issuers from Brazil to Turkey take advantage of rebounding markets to raise fresh financing.

Sales of dollar- and euro-denominated bonds from developing nations this month are already running some 200% above volumes seen last April, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. A total of $46 billion was raised through Friday, as governments and companies raced to capitalize on improved market sentiment amid hopes of a US-Iran peace deal.
