Eaton Vance Monthly Market Monitor Trends & Takeaways
Viewpoints: Connecting Timely Insights to Market Data Select Viewpoints from Eaton Vance Advisory Blog: VISIT: www.eatonvance.com/blog Edward J. Perkin, Chief Equity Investment Officer Energy Sector: After being cut in half since last summer, oil prices and energy-related stocks bounced in April with WTI crude oil up over 20% (see page 22 & 30). Eddie Perkin recently weighed in: “As a contrarian-minded value investor, I am constantly on the lookout for despair…. Not yet. The lack of capitulation in the energy sector manifests itself in the form of continued access to the capital markets for low-quality companies….As tempting as it may be to hunt for bargains in the energy sector, too many other investors have had the same idea recently.” Read complete thoughts at Eaton Vance Advisory Blog. Kathleen Gaffney, Co-Director, Diversified Fixed Income U.S. Dollar: The sharp trend in U.S. dollar strength over the past 6 months took a breather in April with the greenback weakening notably versus other major currencies, including more than 4% versus the euro (see page 26). Kathleen Gaffney believes: “The most crowded trade we see today is the rising U.S. dollar – it appears that most investors believe it is a one-way bet in 2015…The U.S. dollar’s strength could continue over the near term, but we believe the bulk of the move higher is complete. We will consider examining areas the market may be undervaluing, including emerging-market currencies.” Read complete thoughts at Eaton Vance Advisory Blog. Eric Stein, Co-Director, Global Income U.S. Dollar: Offering a counterpoint, Eric Stein thinks: “Despite the recent strength in the USD, we believe it has further to go. Given the divergence in global monetary policies and economic cycles, the current environment appears conducive to continued strengthening versus other developed-market currencies…our medium-term case for the USD versus most other developed-market currencies remains bullish – albeit with short-term bouts of weakness along the way.” Read complete thoughts at Eaton Vance Advisory Blog. Richard Bernstein, CEO & Chief Investment Officer, Richard Bernstein Advisers Equities: While the debate surrounding the lifespan of the current equity bull market rages, stocks prices around the world moved higher in April (see page 15). Richard Bernstein had this to say in late April: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…Being truly objective is the difficult part….we have used the same valuation models for many years in an attempt to remain objective…we do not believe the stock market is overvalued. Our conclusion remains that the market is valued as it would typically be for a mid-cycle environment such as today’s (i.e., roughly fairly valued).” Read complete thoughts at Eaton Vance Advisory Blog.

TERMS: Municipal-to-Treasury Yield Ratios are relative value indicators that measure the richness or cheapness of Municipal bond yields to comparable maturity Treasury bond yields. Yield to Worst is a measure which reflects the lowest potential yield earned on a bond without the issuer defaulting. The yield to worst is calculated by making worst-case scenario assumptions by calculating the returns that would be received if provisions, including prepayment, call or sinking fund, are used by the issuer.

ABOUT RISK: Bank Loans – There can be no assurance that the liquidation of collateral securing an investment will satisfy the issuer’s obligation in the event of non-payment or that collateral can be readily liquidated. The ability to realize the benefits of any collateral may be delayed or limited. Commodities – The value of commodities investments will generally be affected by overall market movements and factors specific to a particular industry or commodity including weather, embargoes, tariffs, or health, political, international and regulatory developments. Credit – Investments in income securities may be affected by changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer and are subject to the risk of non-payment of principal and interest. The value of income securities also may decline because of real or perceived concerns about the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. Duration – Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with shorter durations. Equity – Equity investment values are sensitive to stock market volatility. Foreign – Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. In emerging countries, these risks may be more significant. Gov’t Agency – While certain U.S. Government-sponsored agencies may be chartered or sponsored by acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Income Market – An imbalance in supply and demand in the income market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. There generally is limited public information about Municipal issuers. Inflation-Linked – Interest payments on inflation-linked securities may vary widely and will fluctuate as principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. Investments in inflation-linked securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Interest Rate – As interest rates rise, the value of certain income investments is likely to decline. LowerRated – Investments rated below Investment Grade (typically referred to as “junk”) are generally subject to greater price volatility and illiquidity than higher rated investments. Maturity – Longer-term bonds typically are more sensitive to interest rate changes than shorter-term bonds. Preferred Stocks – When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stocks will generally decline. Prepayment - MBS – Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment - Bank Loan – Bank Loans are subject to prepayment risk. Real Estate – Changes in real estate values or economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry, including REITs.
