Eaton Vance Monthly Market Monitor Trends & Takeaways

Viewpoints: Connecting Timely Insights to Market Data Select Viewpoints from Eaton Vance Advisory Blog: VISIT: eatonvance.com/blog Eric Stein, Co-Director of Global Income Tom Luster, Co-Director of Diversified Income Fed “Liftoff” Looming: Along with continued strength in the economic picture in the U.S., investor attention focused on the July FOMC meeting and the possible timing and trajectory of the Federal Reserve’s “liftoff” plans for short-term interest rates (see page 5). According to Eric Stein, “The Fed clearly has September on the table for the potential first rate increase since 2006.” Recognizing the “data dependent” nature of the Fed’s ongoing guidance, Eric added that he believes “the Fed has by no means pre-committed to hiking rates by then however.” At the same time, Eric interpreted the latest remarks as the Fed having lowered its bar insofar as the level of further economic improvement necessary before the Fed makes a move. Tom Luster agrees that the timing of a Fed move is near, saying, “I believe the Fed should and will raise rates before the market expects. If you believe monetary policy since the financial crisis has been one big macroeconomic experiment, then you might agree the Fed should act like the ensuing tightening cycle is of an experimental nature as well. If so, the Fed would be well-advised to start sooner and raise rates more slowly in order to better gauge the effects of higher rates on markets and the economy.” Read complete blog Eaton Vance Advisory Blog.

Edward J. Perkin, Chief Equity Investment Officer Oil Driving Bifurcated Equity Opportunities: Eddie Perkin believes Janet Yellen and her Fed colleagues are likely to find a two-speed economy as they assess incoming economic data, with the general health of the U.S. consumer improving rapidly, while the industrial side of the economy continues to struggle. In his latest blog, Eddie reasoned that while the collapse in oil prices (see page 30) has been good for the consumer, it’s bad news for many industrial companies. Eddie said, “Oil and gas is an important end market for capital goods and equipment manufacturers. We have been struck by how swiftly the energy sector cut expenses at the beginning of 2015. North American exploration and production companies tell us they have cut capital spending by roughly 35% this year. This has had a ripple effect throughout the supply chain, well beyond the direct exposure of oil and gas equipment.” Connecting the analysis to equity markets, Eddie emphasizes the importance of asking, “What’s not priced in”? It seems clear that the U.S. equity market has begun to “figure things out,” as consumer discretionary stocks have handily outperformed industrials over the past several months. This divergence of performance between the two sectors has led to widening valuation differentials: Consumer discretionary stocks were recently valued at 19.5x forward EPS estimates, whereas industrials stocks were only valued at 15.8x (see page 18).

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.
