Housing was a main driver of economic growth in the
fourth quarter with residential fixed investment
increasing 17.6 percent.
Home sales, both new and existing, continued their
upward trend. Sales of existing homes hit a three-year
high at an annual pace of 4.98 million in February.
Greater housing demand combined with lower home
supply drove home values higher. As shown by the
S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values, prices
climbed over 8 percent on a year-over-year basis in
their 20-city composite – the largest gain since 2006.

Home Foreclosures - % of Total Loans
The homeownership rate hovered around 65.5 percent
last year, down from its peak of 69 percent in 2004, as
we saw a shift towards renting over the past few years.
Record low interest rates caused by easy monetary
policy and depressed home values prompted more
home buyers to enter the market last year.
Approximately a third of sales are cash buyers,
however, and investors compromised the majority of
these sales.

Note: The underemployment rate U6 defined as persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they
want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months.
Long Term Unemployment Unemployment rate in the U.S. decreased to 7.7 percent in February
2013 from 7.9 percent in January 2013, driving the rate down to its
lowest in over four years.
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 236,000 in February.
The main sectors that added jobs were professional and business
services, construction, and healthcare.
The number of long-term unemployed has not improved very much
and remained close to 4.8 million in February, almost 40.2 percent of
the unemployed are long-term .
Labor force participation continues to be low, as workers opt for early
retirement or stop searching entirely.

Bond Market Will the Momentum Continue?
Since 2008, bond markets have
produced four consecutive years
of positive total and excess
returns.
Bonds exhibited positive
performance led by Banking,
Insurance, and Financial Services
sectors. U.S. Treasuries had their
third worst return in the last 16
years at 2.16 percent, compared
to 2008,
which had the best return at 13.98
percent.
The biggest long-term risk is a
reversal in central bank policies.
At record low yields, total returns
would be significantly exposed to
any tightening policy. However, 5.4%

S&P 500 Companies Room to Accelerate
S&P 500 companies continue to
conserve cash, although the level of
growth in cash balances has
tapered off in recent quarters.
On the other hand, S&P 500
companies have greatly reduced
their leverage ratios, likely due to
limited capital and investment
opportunities.
Companies have plenty of dry

Federal Reserve Top Gear
As the Federal Reserve embarks
on more quantitative easing, the
U.S. balance sheet continues to
grow.
At the current pace of $85 billion
dollars per month of combined
mortgage backed securities and
longer-term treasury purchases,
the Fed’s balance sheet will be
close to $4 trillion dollars by year
end. That is more than quadruple
where the balance sheet was at the
start of the financial crisis.

Europe Could Use a Boost
GDP
The euro zone economy is poised to contract by 0.5 percent or
more in 2013, continuing the lackluster performance of the
previous two years. Even Germany appears to be in danger of
slipping into a recession.
Italy was downgraded by Fitch recently, while talk of a tax on
bank deposits in Cyprus caused a ripple effect across Europe in
mid-March. These types of occurrences illustrate the current
fragility of sentiment in Europe.
The ECB is resisting further rate cuts for now, but will cut later
this year.
What is needed by most struggling economies in Europe is
economic growth to boost tax revenues and slow soaring
unemployment . However, the deficit situation has handcuffed
fiscal spending and retail spending is unlikely to rise unless
confidence does.Consensus GDP Forecast

Growth forecasts for the major European economies are if
anything overly optimistic; it is hard to pinpoint a potential
catalyst for growth in this environment.

GBP EUR
Europe What Will Put the Brakes on the Euro?
Currency Performance
The EUR is poised to go lower, weighed down by concerns
about the debt crisis, a widening recession and continuing
political uncertainty.
The GBP registered gains against the EUR for several months,
but has begun to lose ground recently, as the economy
struggles to recover from the economic downturn.
A lower EUR is in Europe’s interest, despite occasional talk to
the contrary. It remains one of the few ways to stimulate growth,
using a weak currency to fuel export competitiveness.
The EUR does not require a break up of the euro zone to head
lower; economic and political uncertainty coupled with
continuing subpar growth is sufficient to cause a further fall.
10Y Sovereign Yields
Source: Bloomberg and SVB Asset Management.
Lower yields would normally help boost economic activity, but
sovereign spreads to Germany remain wide. As a result, the
countries that would really benefit from lower borrowing costs
don’t reap the benefit.
Longer term, the EUR could recover against the USD, assuming
the euro zone survives this crisis. Europe has a stronger

Acts like a “pegged” currency (All currencies eventually become
“unpegged”)
But What Is Really Wrong?

Even Germany appears to be in danger of slipping into a recession. Italy was downgraded by Fitch recently, while talk of a tax on bank deposits in Cyprus caused a ripple effect across Europe in mid-March. These types of occurrences illustrate the current fragility of sentiment in Europe. The ECB is resisting further rate cuts for now, but will cut later this year. What is needed by most struggling economies in Europe is economic growth to boost tax revenues and slow soaring unemployment . However, the deficit situation has handcuffed fiscal spending and retail spending is unlikely to rise unless confidence does.Consensus GDP Forecast Source: Bloomberg and SVB Asset Management. confidence does.

Currency Performance The EUR is poised to go lower, weighed down by concerns about the debt crisis, a widening recession and continuing political uncertainty. The GBP registered gains against the EUR for several months, but has begun to lose ground recently, as the economy struggles to recover from the economic downturn. A lower EUR is in Europe’s interest, despite occasional talk to the contrary. It remains one of the few ways to stimulate growth, using a weak currency to fuel export competitiveness. The EUR does not require a break up of the euro zone to head lower; economic and political uncertainty coupled with continuing subpar growth is sufficient to cause a further fall. 10Y Sovereign Yields Source: Bloomberg and SVB Asset Management. Lower yields would normally help boost economic activity, but sovereign spreads to Germany remain wide. As a result, the countries that would really benefit from lower borrowing costs don’t reap the benefit. Longer term, the EUR could recover against the USD, assuming the euro zone survives this crisis. Europe has a stronger balance of payments position than the U.S. and a central bank with a single mandate of controlling inflation, which should lead to a less expansionary monetary policy.
