3 Fixed Income Management Economic Highlights March was marked by evidence of continued gradual strengthening of the U.S. economy, while European political leaders struggled with how to handle the bailout in Cyprus. Strong consumer spending and growing personal income in the U.S. led some economists to raise their forecasts for first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) above 3%. If results are as predicted, this could mark the strongest outcome since the fourth quarter of 2011, when the U.S. economy grew at 4.1%. At the same time, some economists concluded that the force of federal budget sequestration, which became effective March 1, will reduce GDP in the second half of the year to a level between 1.0% and 1.5%. The Federal Reserve (Fed) voted to keep the federal funds rate near zero and reiterated its commitment to monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). There were 236,000 more jobs added to payrolls in the U.S. in February compared to the prior month. The unemployment rate fell to 7.7%, which was due in part to shrinkage in the labor force as some unemployed workers gave up searching for jobs. The bailout negotiations in Cyprus, Italy s difficulties creating a new government, and weakness in many European economies pushed the euro lower against the dollar, propped up U.S. Treasury prices, and renewed concern over the viability of the euro zone. Bond Markets Yields were largely unchanged for both shorter-maturity (three years and under) and intermediate-maturity (five years and over) Treasury bonds. Intermediate maturities, however, saw much more intramonth volatility. They headed higher early in the month on signs of U.S. growth, but then fell swiftly as the Cyprus bailout became more chaotic. Five-year Treasury yields started the month at 0.76% and then climbed as high as 0.90% before dropping back to 0.75%. By comparison, two-year yields began the month at 0.23%, rose a few basis points to 0.26%, and finally finished at 0.24% as the Fed s zero-interest-rate policy continued to act as an anchor on short-maturity yields. Monthly returns for most Treasury and Agency benchmarks were slightly above zero, driven by stable but narrow Treasury/Agency spreads and a slight uptick in rates. Corporate bonds performed well compared to Treasury benchmarks, driven by a significant income advantage and stable to somewhat tighter spreads. The highest monthly returns were generated by MBS, while the lowest monthly returns came from tax-exempt municipal bonds. This sector performance is a reversal of what was seen in the previous two months. Equity Markets Domestic equities continued their rally, and both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index reached new highs in March as investors believed the economic recovery would endure. In Europe, stock prices were little changed during the month, while in Asia, the Nikkei rose sharply as the new Japanese government implemented yet another stimulus plan. PFM Outlook The U.S. economy seems to have gained some momentum at last, driven by strong consumer spending and an unmistakable rise in value for housing and equity securities, but this is played out against the backdrop of European drama. The forces associated with a stronger U.S. economy should push interest rates higher, but global investors seeking the safe haven of Treasuries have thwarted this move so far. The result has been range-bound yields, which could continue for months or even through the rest of There is little reason to recommend longer-maturity investments at these levels, but the fact is that shorterduration portfolios do not perform as well as longer-duration portfolios as markets remain in a range. Agency spreads remain narrow; this, combined with scarce supply, offers investors little value when compared to the lesser liquidity versus Treasuries. Corporate bonds offer some potential for return; although their spreads have narrowed dramatically from the highs of two years ago, they are near historical average levels. An expanding U.S. economy should provide general support to the credit markets. MBS which suffered from the uncertainties of the Fed s purchase program and the potential for a sharp rise in longterm rates that would push down mortgage pre-payments appear to offer some value as investors have discounted these factors.
