2 What Keeps Us Up At Night? The tax cut in the 4 th quarter and subsequent budget deal has introduced a significant amount of potential stimulus to the economy, which is why inflation expectations have risen in the past couple months. This may force the Fed to tighten more than they would like to. Add to this the increased Treasury supply to finance this stimulus and it may lead to increased volatility in the fixed income markets along with the possibility of short circuiting the expansion. Dollar weakness. Though the market has continued to price in an increasing number of Fed rate hikes, the dollar has failed to rally. The significant appreciation since the middle of 2014 has been a headwind to inflation. The weakness over the last year has done a lot to reduce that headwind.

3 What Keeps Us Up At Night? During the record issuance in December, muni dealers took down large positions in the primary market as they anticipated the market to rally in However, that strategy was foiled as rates rose in conjunction with the upward move in Treasury yields. The lack of new supply in 2018 has allowed dealers to hold on to their bonds rather than cut prices, so the market has been at a standstill as buyers hold out for more attractive levels. What will break the standoff and which direction will it go? Perhaps an infrastructure deal gets announced and new issuance helps reprice the market? New regulatory initiatives which further decrease the supply of short-term debt, causing yields to decline further as investors scramble for scarce assets.

6 Markets Expecting Further Rate Hikes Current market expectations (End of March, 2018) indicate: ~80% probability of at least 1 rate hike at the June meeting of the Federal Reserve (left chart), ~20% probability of at least 2 hikes in the next two months, increasing to ~60% after 6 months (middle chart), ~37% chance of 3 hikes within eight months (right chart) The following charts show market expectations for one or more rate hikes to be announced at upcoming meetings of the Federal Reserve. Each line shows market expectations for a given observation date The path of each line shows the probability of a rate hike (or more for the right two charts) within a given number of months The red line represents the market expectations as of March 22, 2018 The market currently is pricing in less hikes than it was at the beginning of March (before the most recent hike).

8 Treasury Yield Curves 10 Year Historical Chart All interest rates rose in the 1 st quarter. However, the yield curve continues to compress as short rates rose more sharply than longer term rates. 6 Rate History 5 4 Percenet % Year Note 5 Year Note 10 Year Note 30 Year Bond NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 8
9 10 Year Treasury Yield Minus 2 Year Treasury Yield After a brief blip higher in early 2018, the curve has flattened back to near its 10yr lows. We believe longer term inflation expectations will remain contained and as the market continues to price in additional rate hikes, the curve will flatten further 3.5 2Y10Y Slope Percent % NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 9
10 High Yield Credit Default Swap Spreads Credit default swap spreads dropped to a 10 year low in early 2018, but have since risen back into the +325 range. The lack of volatility over the past 2 years is one of the main reasons for compressed spreads. We expect increased volatility will lead to mildly wider spreads as we move through Market CDS North America 5 Year High Yield Index Bbs Points NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 10
11 Core Inflation Remains Low The January reading of core PCE (the Fed s preferred measure) was the 69 th consecutive year-over-year print below the Fed s 2% target. We should see some upward pressure on these measures as we use weak 2017 comparisons. 3.25% 2.75% 2.25% 1.75% 1.25% 0.75% 0.25% Core PCE YoY Core CPI YoY NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 11

17 Muni Ownership The chart below shows muni ownership while the majority of munis are owned by households and mutual funds, the important aspect of this information is the amount owned by banks and insurance companies. Last year s tax reform lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, so market participants are closely monitoring the response from corporate buyers. There has been limited selling in the secondary market in 2018, but that could accelerate in the coming months.

18 Municipal Supply The chart below shows the 30-day visible muni supply (in millions), which reached a level not seen since 2005 in December as issuers rushed into the market in response to the tax reform bills. While December ended up being the biggest supply month in history, the issuance dropped precipitously at the outset of 2018 and has yet to rebound (down about 28% year-to date). Most participants expected supply to decline due to the tax-exempt status being taken away from advance refunding deals, but it remains to be seen if issuers will return to the market as the year progresses. 35, , , , , , , NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 12/17 NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 18
19 Cash Deployment in Short Munis One way to measure where cash is being deployed in the muni market is to track the yield ratio of munis to comparable Treasurys. As evidenced by the graph below, it appears that so far in 2018 cash is being deployed in the short end of the muni market rather than the intermediate part of the curve. The yield ratios on the 2-year and 10-year munis have diverged since the beginning of the year, indicating a strong demand for short munis. 95.0% 90.0% 85.0% 80.0% 75.0% 70.0% 65.0% 2-Year Muni/Tsy Ratio 10-Year Muni/Tsy Ratio NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 09/17 NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 19

21 Libor-Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Spread at Elevated Levels The 3 month US Libor-OIS spread has widened to a level not seen since the Eurozone crisis in Elevated supply of U.S. Treasuries, corporate buildup of supply in anticipation of repatriation, money market fund positioning in front of an anticipated mid-march FOMC move, and the Fed s balance sheet unwind have combined to elevate this spread. Unlike in years past, this isn t indicative of problems in the banking sector. However, we will continue to watch this closely, as a sustained elevated level would be more worrisome. % M Libor - Overnight Index Swap Spread NOT FDIC INSURED I NO BANK GUARANTEE I MAY LOSE VALUE 03/18 21
