We do not anticipate a “double dip” recession scenario. Although the market and the media have focused on inflation, we think high gas prices and high unemployment remain key macro risks as higher gas prices threaten to cut into already thin household income gains. As a result, we do not foresee any US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes this year. This implies front-end rates will remain low until more progress is made in job creation (the US unemployment rate is still above 9%). In this environment, longer-term Treasury rates will remain range-bound and only rise gradually as economic growth gains traction. This moderate economic growth, low-inflation environment is still favorable for an array of fixed-income sectors to pick up additional yield over US Treasuries.

MARKET UPDATE AND OUTLOOKUS economic growth slowed in the second quarter of 2011. The Japanese earthquake aftermath hampered auto production activity, higher energy prices reduced household spending power and peripheral Europe debt woes caused uncertainty in financial markets. As a result, government bond yields and equity prices both fell during the quarter. Is this a hint of a more serious economic slowdown on the horizon? In our view, the growth slowdown is a “soft patch” in the economic expansion, not the sign of a “double dip” recession. The good news: auto production activity is coming back on line and oil prices are down near $90 per barrel. Furthermore, progress toward avoiding a Greek default is giving the markets hope that a more comprehensive solution will soon emerge.

Despite a 1.9% rate of growth in the first quarter and soft economic data received in the second quarter, we continue to expect that US gross domestic product will expand in line with its long-term trend of 2.5-3.0% in 2011. We do not anticipate a “double dip” recession scenario. Although the market and the media have focused on inflation, we think high gas prices and high unemployment remain key macro risks as higher gas prices threaten to cut into already thin household income gains. As a result, we do not foresee any US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes this year. This implies front-end rates will remain low until more progress is made in job creation (the US unemployment rate is still above 9%). In this environment, longer-term Treasury rates will remain range-bound and only rise gradually as economic growth gains traction. This moderate economic growth, low-inflation environment is still favorable for an array of fixed-income sectors to pick up additional yield over US Treasuries.

Credit spreads will continue to compress throughout the year. We still favor the higher-quality end of the high-yield spectrum as we think CCC-rated credits are overvalued relative to B-rated securities.
