Business and Manufacturing Activity continued

Conclusions Job growth was strong in Q1; unemployment fell to 7.6 percent. Inflation is not a large concern, for now. ISM indices showed strong movements over the quarter. Industrial production remains strong. Dividend sectors, especially utilities, remain relatively expensive. Decreased savings and credit expansion could create a tailwind for the economy. The housing recovery seems to be fully under way. Cyprus was no more than a speed bump.

Looking Forward... Key themes to monitor –Employment improvement necessary for sustained recovery –Earnings season for Q1 (beat or miss estimates?) –Housing starts and prices in 2013 –European recovery: Is it sustainable? –Direction of ISM and Labor indices over coming months –Ongoing debt ceiling debates –Housing market recovery and translation to GDP –Emerging markets manufacturing in Q2 –Fed discussions on monetary stimulus

Disclosure Investing involves risks, including loss of principal amount invested due to market fluctuations. All indices are unmanaged, and investors cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted average of 30 actively traded blue-chip stocks. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Corporate Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The Merrill Lynch Municipal Master Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade tax- exempt debt publicly issued by U.S. states and territories, and their political subdivisions, in the U.S. domestic market. The Bank of America/Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated below-investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. International investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and political instability. The commodities industries can be significantly affected by commodity prices, world events, import controls, worldwide competition, government regulations, and economic conditions.
