Monthly Market Monitor | June 2016

Viewpoints: Connecting timely insights to market data Edward Perkin, Chief Equity Investment Officer

Earnings reactions have been muted for U.S. equities as first-quarter results have been released. So far, more than 60% of companies in the S&P 500 have reported first-quarter earnings. Looking ahead, I continue to favor inexpensive defensives and quality cyclicals. Over the past 18 months, the S&P 500 has bounced between 2000 and 2150, with the occasional short-lived correction when worries about China, global growth and credit spreads surface. With the S&P 500 back to 2060, most stocks are back to looking fully valued. The challenge in this environment is that most defensive stocks (such as consumer staples and utilities) appear to be expensive (see page 18), while the cyclicals (energy, materials and consumer discretionary) carry more economic risk. Bottom line: I think the best opportunities in U.S. equities are in inexpensive defensives and quality cyclicals. This includes the industrials sector, which is where we are finding opportunities in quality cyclicals. For complete blog, visit the Eaton Vance Advisory Blog.

What is the outlook for the loan market’s technical conditions after the past few monthly gains? Looking ahead, we see supply and demand fitting together well, but it's quite fragile. We do believe the market’s technical balance remains delicately tipped toward one of strength, and thus the direction and magnitude of investor flows will be an important influence in the short run. On the demand side, the loan market may be on the verge of seeing inflows. Based on current yields, the asset class looks attractive relative to other income-generating investments, in our view (see page 9). Looking at issuance, the pipeline over the next month or two is light at around $20 billion. This soft patch in supply is supportive of the technical backdrop, but will not likely be sustained. Bottom line: After two months of strong returns, the loan market appears unlikely to keep pace with the pace of returns witnessed over the past few months. We believe pricing indicates modest upside potential at current levels. That said, investors may continue to be drawn to the attractive yield of this floating-rate asset class.

Asset Allocation

Tobacco bonds are in focus after Fitch Ratings announced plans to withdraw its ratings on all tobacco bonds due to unpredictability of future payments. These bonds have been very popular with investors over the past year, thanks to attractive yields, federally tax-exempt* income and double-digit returns (see page 11). Despite the rally in tobacco bonds, we have been consistent in our position that many uncontrollable long-term negative credit drivers exist for the sector. It remains extremely difficult to predict the nature, timing and severity of the credit and sector shocks and the corresponding effects on pricing. Bottom line: If cigarette shipments decline as we expect them to, the risk of default on tobacco bonds increases. Due to the potential for widespread defaults in the tobacco sector, we believe more attractive options currently exist in the municipal bond market for investors in need of federally tax-exempt income.

Terms

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. Lower-Rated – 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.
