Economic and Market Commentary
Month in Cash: Economy continues to meander
June 1, 2015
The U.S. economy has been taking steps forward and backward since the financialcrisis, but May’s data might be better described as “sideways.” We had a slightrebound from the poor first quarter, but certainly not any affirmation that the secondquarter is going to be overly strong. Industrials were the most sideways, particularlywith the differing data across the many city indexes. Some were up, some down andsome didn’t move much at all.
Housing was probably the most positive indicator in the month, although the labormarket continues to improve, which leads to consumer-led economic growth. Butinflation stubbornly continues to be benign, and that is what is pressuring the FederalReserve to wait to raise rates. September is now the most likely policy meeting inwhich the hike will come. If we have resurgence in economic strength in June, a July meeting could be possible now that the Fed has implemented a conference-callcapability. Chair Janet Yellen says the call will operate just like the press conferencethat would come following such a major announcement. It would certainly be a goodtest of that capability!
Yellen and other Fed officials have been repeatedly telling the market to focus moreon the movement of rates beyond liftoff. Initially everyone was thinking there wouldbe three hikes before the end of this year, but now many think there will be two.The thought is that rates would rise only every other FOMC meeting and pause for a period of time around 1%. That’s quite possible, but it is really dependent on theoverall economic performance.
On the positive side, although U.S. growth isn’t rebounding as fast as we thought itcould, other parts of the world are, including Europe.
Speaking of Europe, cash managers will be keeping an eye on a new regulatory proposal by the European Parliament that would compel off-shore money marketfunds to float their net asset values (NAV). Sound familiar? It’s quite similar to thereforms implemented by the SEC last summer.
Like the SEC’s rules, the European proposal has several exemptions: governmentfunds that can invest in eurozone government securities; retail funds for consumersversus institutions; and “Low Volatility” funds, which invest in securities of up to

Any private investor can invest in a Treasury bill. The 90-Day Treasury Bill is a weighted average rateof the weekly auctions of 90-Day Treasury Bills.
90-day maturities. The latter goes out fartherdown the curve than the SEC, which onlyallows up to 60 days. In any case, it is helpfulthat the regulatory landscape on both sides ofthe Atlantic is similar so as not to confuseinvestors.
Back in the U.S., our weighted average maturity (WAM) for May didn’t change muchfrom April, with a range of 45-55 days for government portfolios (with most in the lowerend of that span). Prime portfolios are still in the40-50 day range, but have drifted from the highend to near 40. While this is a significant move,it is not enough of one to technically shift therange. But if you looked at it on a true numberbasis, it is closer to the bottom than the top. The London interbank offered rate (Libor)curve steepened a little over the month, likelydue to the expectation of the first Fed move.One-month Libor slipped a basis point, 6-month rose three basis points and the 12-month section moved up five basis points.

Economic and Market Commentary
Month in Cash: Looking forward—really!—to the end of summer
July 1, 2015
For most of us, summer is a time to pull back from the hustle and bustle of life. Noone—especially school children and college students—want to think about it ending.But this year, at least in the financial industry, we are looking forward to September.It is the month that the market expects the Federal Reserve will raise rates for the firsttime since 2008. For cash managers, that will bring on more celebratory fireworksthan the Fourth of July.
Anticipation for liftoff has ratcheted up following the June meeting of the FederalOpen Market Committee (FOMC). Its statement and economic/rate projectionspoint to a September hike, and also increased the likelihood of an additional rise inDecember. While this has been our base case for some time, with the housing marketheating up, the labor market strengthening, consumer confidence climbing and thepoor first quarter long forgotten, it is almost hard to imagine that the hikes wouldn’tunfold this way. But inflation is still not quite where the Fed would like to see it,with PCE still below the two percent level. It is hanging in there: not getting worse,but not getting any better.
However, at this point, it would take a substantial negative event to postpone thehike, and we don’t believe that even a Greek default will do it. In any case, none ofthe global banks we deal with in the prime or municipal money market portfolioshave any meaningful exposure to Greece, and therefore the portfolios won’t beimpacted in any way, shape or form.
As you know, while the Fed’s maneuvers on the longer term are always in the backof our minds, they take a back seat to the daily trading we do with the central bank.Lately, that has become much easier as the Fed’s staff has gotten better and better atrunning the operations. A year-and-a-half into the implementation of the reverserepo program, it finally is running smoothly, issuing enough collateral to keep ratesabove the floor. And since the Fed started adding term-repo issuances for quarter end,there’s been less concern about supply now than there had been. While the Fed willhave to navigate the reverse repo program when rates rise, it has $4 trillion on its balance sheet to use if it needs to control the rate more firmly.

ANNOUNCEMENTSEconomic and Market Commentary:How times have changedAugust 1, 2015
The incessant buzz surrounding whether the Federal Reserve will or won’t initiate
liftoff in September, got us thinking about how much times have changed. We can
recall a meeting years ago in the board room on the 27th fl oor of our Downtown offi ce
building. It was with members of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and the discussion
centered on the possibility the target funds rate, 1% at the time, could be lowered another
25 basis points to 0.75% … 0.75%!
We thought that was madness; now, we’d be jumping for joy over such a rate! And,
frankly, we believe we will get to 0.75% at some point next year, likely in the fi rst half of
2016. We also think the Fed will initiate its fi rst increase in the funds rate in nine years
at its meeting next month, the noise surrounding its late July post-meeting statement
notwithstanding. If you strip that statement down, there were less than 10 word
changes, with a lot of consternation focused on the addition of the word “some,’’ as in
policymakers need to see “some” further improvement in the labor markets to justify a
rate hike. Honestly, this all sounds like word sniffi ng to me.
Based on the economic data and events since the Fed met in June and signaled a
September move (July’s was a non-press conference, non-forecast meeting, which is
why there was so much obsession over word changes), it doesn’t appear to me that
policymakers are wavering. Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s biannual comments to Congress

The second quarter carried on the eventful nature of 2015. Despite ongoing concerns over Greece’s possible exit from the Eurozone, a stock market bubble in China, a softer US economy, illiquidity in fi xed income markets, and geopolitics, risk assets have largely dismissed all the these negatives. Unsurprisingly, fixed income markets haven’t fared as well. The US economy appears to have bounced out of the fi rst quarter’s growth pothole and consensus forecasts are for growth of 2.5% in the second quarter. The rebound in growth is being once again driven by the US consumer. Savings rates were outpacing spending rates in the fi rst quarter, but this trend has gone into reverse and nominal consumer spending increased by 0.9% in May, the highest level since August 2009. The housing market is showing signs of a pick-up, with new and existing home sales rising, as are housing starts. The pick-up in Treasury yields may not slow the pace of growth in home sales as much as feared. However, mortgage approvals are rising again and higher wage growth and consumer confidence should support this segment of the economy. All of this data points to an increasingly likely fi rst rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) before year end. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met twice in the second quarter. In April, they expressed some concern about the growth slowdown following the weak fi rst quarter, though they communicated that they believed much of the weakness was transitory. They expressed a more optimistic tone in June as most participants still expect lift-off before the end of the year.While some of the FOMC’s recent signals were somewhat dovish, it is expected that economic data over the coming months will support a move towards normalization beginning with a September hike. None-the-less, the Fed is trying to minimize market disruption as much as possible by stressing its expectation of a shallow path towards higher rates. It may be hard for the Fed to move too quickly as higher rates will cause the dollar to strengthen, restricting the Fed’s ability to get back to a neutral level. Consistent with Chair Yellen’s guidance, it is anticipated the Fed will move towards a 1.75% level by the end of 2016, but a pause at that point to assess the market impact is highly likely. The U.S. yield curve typically fl attens as tightening cycles evolve and it is expected that this time will be no different. In addition, higher rates should spur long duration demand from pensions and insurance companies, effectively muting a move higher and contributing to a fl atter yield curve.

July proved to be a more turbulent time for investors than performance numbers may suggest. While global equities as a whole ended the month roughly fl at and major government bond yields ended moderately lower, both asset classes experienced signifi cant intra-month swings. There was no shortage of negative headlines as the Greek negotiations, collapse of the Chinese stock market and the increasing likelihood of a Puerto Rican default took center stage. Meanwhile, after stabilizing in the second quarter, crude oil prices began to decline again, the U.S. dollar showed some renewed signs of strength and major yield curves began to fl atten again. Events during the month did little to clarify the timing of the fi rst U.S. rate hike in more than nine years. While the FOMC statement was tweaked to note that the Committee only needs to see “some further improvement in the labor market” before raising rates, the other major requirement, reasonable confidence in infl ation moving back to their longer-run objective of 2%, was unchanged. Thus, the Fed’s policy stance remains data dependent between now and mid-September. While data released in July was mixed, the Fed appeared generally unconcerned, expecting continued improvement in the economy in the second half of the year.The solid economic activity that occurred in the second quarter is expected to continue into the second half of the year. Expectations are for labor markets to continue to improve and place upward pressure on wages. Improved household incomes and individual balance sheets, better access to credit, lower energy prices and higher confi dence are likely to result in better consumption and, in light of a much improved supply/demand backdrop, accelerated housing activity going forward. Core infl ation is anticipated to accelerate toward 2% by the fourth quarter. Given the tight supply of rental properties, rent is expected to trend higher, providing uplift to core infl ation. This will serve to offset some of the disinflationary pressures associated with a stronger dollar. The outlook in 2016 is less clear. Despite disappointing wage data of late, wages should gradually improve as labor market slack is further diminished. The Fed should begin to tighten policy in the second half of 2015, but the pace will initially be slow and gradual. Financial asset price volatility is expected to remain higher during this transition period. Economic activity should gradually rise with the potential for global growth to stabilize and become less of a restraint to domestic activity in the years ahead.This information is an excerpt from an economic report dated July 2015 provided to LOGIC by JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc., the investment manager of the LOGIC pool.

Economic news out of China and the renewed plunge in oil prices caused signifi cant volatility in global stock and bond markets during the month of August. The related impact on inflationary expectations pushed market participants to reduce the likelihood of a September Fed rate hike. China surprised markets in mid-August, permitting a wider trading band (+/-2%) around its currency’s tightly controlled daily fi xing. The abrupt change, which devalued the Yuan by 3% versus the US dollar over two days, was seen as another sign of economic weakness in the world’s second largest economy. This slowdown within the world’s largest energy consumer became a catalyst for oil market volatility. U.S. economic releases throughout the month were generally very positive, with a solid employment report, quite strong vehicle sales, and better-than-expected readings on retail sales, housing starts and existing home sales. Most importantly, the government revised its estimate of second quarter 2015 real GDP growth to a better than expected annual rate of 3.7%, up from 2.3%. The tone of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) July meeting minutes was somewhat more cautious than the FOMC statement and refl ected heightened uncertainties around global developments. Fed offi cials initially responded to the volatility in global equity markets at the end of the month by tempering the potential for Fed lift-off in September. However, after the Jackson Hole conference, Fed offi cials appeared to stick with their plan to begin normalizing rates by the end of the year despite recent market turmoil, remaining confi dent in their forecast for steadily improving growth and infl ation that should begin to gradually fi rm. The probability of a rate hike in September remains below 50%. The Federal Reserve has been waiting for a move in core CPI but it hasn’t seen it yet. Core CPI is expected to move toward 2% by the fourth quarter. While domestic data appears to have met the Fed’s criteria for tighter monetary policy at its September FOMC meeting, recent market volatility and a sharp decline in energy prices is likely to have affected the members’ level of confi dence. In order to achieve clarity on the timing of the initial rate hike, economists need to come to terms with whether the market is driving the Fed or whether the Fed is driving the market. If global growth jitters do cause the Fed to defer on a September lift-off, odds are still quite high that the fi rst rate hike will happen this year. Regardless of the timing of the initial rate hike, the pace of tightening will be gradual. This information is an excerpt from an economic report dated August 2015 provided to LOGIC by JPMorgan Asset Management, Inc., the investment manager of the LOGIC pool.

Economic CommentaryThe second quarter carried on the eventful nature of 2015. Despite ongoing concerns over Greece’s possible exit from the Eurozone, a stock market bubble in China, a softer US economy, illiquidity in fi xed income markets, and geopolitics, risk assets have largely dismissed all the these negatives. Unsurprisingly, fi xed income markets haven’t fared as well, with the Barclays Global Aggregate falling 1.2% in the last quarter. The US economy appears to have bounced out of the fi rst quarter’s growth pothole and consensus forecasts are for growth of 2.5% in the second quarter. The rebound in growth is being once again driven by the US consumer. Savings rates were outpacing spending rates in the fi rst quarter, but this trend has gone into reverse and nominal consumer spending increased by 0.9% in May, the highest level since August 2009. The housing market is showing signs of a pick-up, with new and existing home sales rising, as are housing starts. The pick up in Treasury yields may not slow the pace of growth in home sales as much as feared. However, mortgage approvals are rising again and higher wage growth and consumer confi dence should support this segment of the economy. The employment cost index shows that private wage growth accelerated to 2.7% year-on-year in the fi rst quarter as the labor market tightened, a trend which should continue. All of this data points to an increasingly likely fi rst rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) before year end. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met twice in the second quarter. In April, they expressed some concern about the growth slowdown following the weak fi rst quarter, though they communicated that they believed much of the weakness was transitory. They expressed a more optimistic tone in June as most participants still expect lift-off before the end of the year.While some of the FOMC’s recent signals were somewhat dovish, it is expected that economic data over the coming months will support a move towards normalization beginning with a September hike. None-the-less, the Fed is trying to minimize market disruption as much as possible by stressing its expectation of a shallow path towards higher rates. It may be hard for the Fed to move too quickly as higher rates will cause the dollar to strengthen, restricting the Fed’s ability to get back to a neutral level. Consistent with Chair Yellen’s guidance, it is anticipated the Fed will move towards a 1.75% level by the end of 2016, but a pause at that point to assess the market impact is highly likely. The U.S. yield curve typically fl attens as tightening cycles evolve and it is expected that this time will be no different. In addition, higher rates should spur long duration demand from pensions and insurance companies, effectively muting a move higher and contributing to a fl atter yield curve.

Economic CommentaryJuly proved to be a more turbulent time for investors than broad asset class performance numbers may suggest. While global equities as a whole ended the month roughly fl at and major government bond yields ended moderately lower, both asset classes experienced signifi cant intra-month swings. There was no shortage of negative headlines as the Greek negotiations, collapse of the Chinese stock market and the increasing likelihood of a Puerto Rican default took center stage. Meanwhile, after stabilizing in the second quarter, crude oil prices began to decline again, the U.S. dollar showed some renewed signs of strength and major yield curves began to fl atten again. Events during the month did little to clarify the timing of the fi rst U.S. rate hike in more than nine years. While the FOMC statement was tweaked to note that the Committee only needs to see “some further improvement in the labor market” before raising rates, the other major requirement, reasonable confi dence in infl ation moving back to their longer-run objective of 2%, was unchanged. Thus, the Fed’s policy stance remains data dependent between now and mid-September. While data released in July was mixed, the Fed appeared generally unconcerned, expecting continued improvement in the economy in the second half of the year.The solid economic activity that occurred in the second quarter is expected to continue into the second half of the year. Expectations are for labor markets to continue to improve, eroding labor market slack further and placing upward pressure on wages. Improved household incomes and individual balance sheets, better access to credit, lower energy prices and higher confi dence are likely to result in better consumption and, in light of a much improved supply/demand backdrop, accelerated housing activity going forward. Continued, albeit gradual, appreciation of the U.S. dollar should further impair export growth. However, analysis suggests that the bulk of the adjustment has already occurred and net trade will be only a modest headwind. Core infl ation is anticipated to accelerate toward 2% by the fourth quarter. Given the tight supply of rental properties, rent is expected to trend higher, providing uplift to core infl ation. This will serve to offset some of the disinfl ationary pressures associated with a stronger dollar. Headline infl ation should improve due to base effects and the waning drag from energy prices into the second half of the year. The outlook in 2016 is less clear. Despite disappointing wage data of late, wages should gradually improve as labor market slack is further diminished. The Fed should begin to tighten policy in the second half of 2015, but the pace will initially be slow and gradual. Financial asset price volatility is expected to remain higher during this transition period. Economic activity should gradually rise with the potential for global growth to stabilize and become less of a restraint to domestic activity in the years ahead.

Economic CommentaryEconomic news out of China and the renewed plunge in oil prices caused signifi cant volatility in global stock and bond markets during the month of August. The related impact on infl ationary expectations pushed market participants to reduce the likelihood of a September Fed rate hike. China surprised markets in mid-August, permitting a wider trading band (+/-2%) around its currency’s tightly controlled daily fi xing. The abrupt change, which devalued the Yuan by 3% versus the US dollar over two days, was seen as another sign of economic weakness in the world’s second largest economy. This slowdown within the world’s largest energy consumer became a catalyst for oil market volatility. U.S. economic releases throughout the month were generally very positive, with a solid employment report, quite strong vehicle sales, and better-than-expected readings on retail sales, housing starts and existing home sales. Most importantly, the government revised its estimate of second quarter 2015 real GDP growth to a better than expected annual rate of 3.7%, up from 2.3%. The tone of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) July meeting minutes was somewhat more cautious than the FOMC statement and refl ected heightened uncertainties around global developments. Fed offi cials initially responded to the volatility in global equity markets at the end of the month by tempering the potential for Fed lift-off in September. However, after the Jackson Hole conference, Fed offi cials appeared to stick with their plan to begin normalizing rates by the end of the year despite recent market turmoil, remaining confi dent in their forecast for steadily improving growth and infl ation that should begin to gradually fi rm. The probability of a rate hike in September remains below 50%. The Federal Reserve has been waiting for a move in core CPI but it hasn’t seen it yet. Core CPI is expected to move toward 2% by the fourth quarter. While domestic data appears to have met the Fed’s criteria for tighter monetary policy at its September FOMC meeting, recent market volatility and a sharp decline in energy prices is likely to have affected the members’ level of confi dence. In order to achieve clarity on the timing of the initial rate hike, economists need to come to terms with whether the market is driving the Fed or whether the Fed is driving the market. If global growth jitters do cause the Fed to defer on a September lift-off, odds are still quite high that the fi rst rate hike will happen this year. Regardless of the timing of the initial rate hike, the pace of tightening will be gradual.
