WEEKLY ECONOMIC UPDATE April 14, 2014 WEEKLY QUOTE “The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealized past.” - Robertson Davies
WEEKLY TIP If you’re wondering about going Roth with your IRA, talk with a financial professional to determine whether or not the move makes sense. If you are a younger IRA owner who anticipates retiring to a higher tax bracket, it might.
WEEKLY RIDDLE I can certainly run, but I will never be able to walk by myself. Wherever I go, thoughts are close behind me. What am I?
HOUSEHOLD SENTIMENT REACHES 9-MONTH PEAK The University of Michigan’s index of consumer sentiment rose 2.6 points in its preliminary April reading, bouncing back from a 4-month low of 80.0 at the end of March to a high unseen since last July. From 2003-07, the index averaged a reading of 89.0; during the 2007-09 recession, its average mark was just 64.2.1 PRODUCER PRICES ROSE 0.5% IN MARCH You have to go back to last June (when wholesale inflation spiked 0.8%) to find such a sizable monthly advance in the Producer Price Index. The PPI had retreated 0.1% in February. A 1.1% monthly increase in wholesale food costs was a big factor. Annualized wholesale inflation rose to 1.4% in March, up from 0.9% for February.1,2 OIL, GAS, GOLD LOG NOTABLE GAINS NYMEX crude was worth $103.74 per barrel at Friday’s close thanks to a 2.6% advance during the week. On April 10, AAA’s weekly survey found a gallon of unleaded averaging $3.62 nationally, which was an 8-month peak. An ounce of gold was worth $1,319.00 as the COMEX trading week ended, with futures up 1.2% in five days; an ounce of palladium was worth $806.80, a high unseen since 2011.1,3 NASDAQ SETTLES BELOW 4,000 A 3.10% plunge across five trading days took the Nasdaq Composite to a Friday close of 3,999.73. The Dow and S&P 500 also went red on the week – the blue chips retreated 2.35% to 16,026.75 and the S&P fell 2.64% to 1,815.69.4,5 THIS WEEK Earnings from Citigroup, Capital One, Piper Jaffray, Overstock.com and American Airlines arrive Monday, complementing data on March retail sales and February business inventories. Yahoo!, Coca-Cola, Intel and Charles Schwab report quarterly results Tuesday, which is also when the March CPI and the April NAHB housing market index appear. Wednesday offers a new Beige Book and a report on March industrial output from the Federal Reserve, Census Bureau data on March housing starts and building permits, and earnings from IBM, Google, SanDisk, US Bancorp, American Express, Bank of America, First Republic Bank, PNC and Kinder Morgan. Thursday, earnings from Philip Morris, BlackRock, AutoNation, Mattel, Fifth Third, Chipotle, Morgan Stanley, General Electric, Honeywell, BB&T, UnitedHealth, Sherwin Williams, Union Pacific and PepsiCo appear along with new initial claims numbers; the bond market will close early. March 18 is Good Friday: U.S. financial markets will be closed, and no economic data or major earnings news will be released. 3

MGAM Tactical Dynamic Allocation Strategy
Opportunistic portfolios are created during market bottoms taking advantage of lower prices and higher cash flows. 2002 and 2009 are excellent examples.
As equity markets rise, the goal becomes scaling back risk toward a more moderate portfolio.
5
Following major stock market rallies, the goal is to protect gains by moving to a more conservative portfolio. 1999 and 2007 provided opportunities in more conservative fixed income instruments as the Federal Reserve tightened interest rates.
Tactical allocation provides a planning tool for adjusting portfolios for the economic cycle, but does not eliminate risk or assure future performance.

As the Fed considers the precise timing of tightening monetary policy, a key consideration will be how many Americans want to get back to work. Monetary doves found an olive twig amid the floodwaters last week when the labor force participation rate increased slightly. Global CIO Commentary by Scott Minerd When exactly the Federal Reserve begins raising interest rates will unfold as a battle between monetary policy hawks and doves which will play out over the coming year or more. Inflation appears now to be the Fed’s primary consideration, but how quickly the American economy reaches full employment will also be of significance. On inflation, monetary hawks want to stay ahead of rising prices for fear of losing control and having to raise interest rates even higher to regain price stability, while doves do not want to act until inflation is evident. On employment, the current focus for Fed hawks and doves is the labor force participation rate. Hawks believe the economy has fundamentally changed, that the downward trend in labor force participation since 2007 is structural and that frustrated long-term job seekers lack the needed skills. Doves believe roughly one third of the decline in the participation rate is cyclical, and that jobs will return as the economy heats up.

If the rise in U.S. labor force participation proves to be persistent, it could push back when the #Fed would have to raise rates. 8:31 AM - 8 Apr 2014 5 RETWEETS 2 FAVORITES
Looking at the economic data through that prism, the specifics of the March jobs report were certainly interesting. Beyond the unchanged 6.7 percent U.S. unemployment rate for March, the most important aspect of the report may have been the increasing labor force participation rate, which rose 0.2 percent to 63.2 percent. For doves, this was a small olive twig, a sign that the flood of unemployment is finally receding. Paradoxically, however, as more Americans return to seeking employment and as the work force grows, the more time it will take for the economy to reach full employment. The Fed believes the natural rate of unemployment is somewhere around 5.5 percent and so an argument can be made that policymakers will not raise rates until we reach that level. Getting to an unemployment level of 5.5 percent is highly dependent on how many people are actively participating in the labor force. If the participation rate returns to its previous downward trend and job growth continues at about 200,000 jobs monthly, the unemployment rate would drop below 5.5 percent during the second quarter of 2015. However, if the participation rate increases by a single percentage point, full employment is unlikely to be reached until 2016. The pattern of recent months of a rebounding participation rate will add weight to the dovish position if it persists. Whatever happens, investors would be well advised to keep an eagle eye on the participation rate. Chart of the Week The U.S. Participation Rate and Employment
The U.S. labor force participation rate hit a 36-year low in December, but since then has turned around, rising 0.4 percentage points, and is showing evidence of stabilization after a 3 percentage point decline over the last four years. Whether the recent increases are temporary or a sign of a broader trend are crucial for the outlook on monetary policy, since changes in participation have a large impact on unemployment. If the participation rate stabilizes or even rebounds, the pace of decline in the unemployment rate could slow, pushing back the date when the Federal Reserve begins to increase interest rates.

Source: Hav er Analy tics, Bloomberg, Guggenheim Inv estments. Data as of 3/31/2014. *Note: In our f lat participation rate scenario we assume the participation rate remains at 63.2 percent. The participation rate decline continues scenario assumes the participation rate f alls by .025 percentage points per month. The participation rate rebounds scenario assumes the participation rate increases by .02 percentage points per month. We assume monthly employ ment gains of 200,000.
Economic Data Releases U.S. Labor Market Show s Signs of Firming
Non-farm payrolls increased by 192,000 in March, slightly under the consensus forecast of 200,000. However, the prior two months were revised by a combined 37,000. Gains were broad-based, with only manufacturing and federal government employment falling. The unemployment rate remained at 6.7 percent, however, the participation rate continued to rebound from December’s low. A gain in average weekly hours to 34.5 from 34.3 was offset by flat average hourly earnings. Job openings made a new high in the February JOLTs report, reaching 4.17 million, the highest in six years. The rates of hiring and quits were unchanged. Initial jobless claims rebounded, up to 326,000 for the last week of March, an increase of 16,000. The trade deficit widened more than expected in February to $42.3 billion as imports rose for a third straight month, led by autos. NFIB small business optimism rebounded in March to 93.4, led by expectations of higher sales. The ISM non-manufacturing index declined to 53.1 in March from 53.5 previously. Forecasts had expected a gain. Wholesale inventories were up for an eighth straight month in February, rising 0.5 percent. Euro Zone Retail Sales Surprise, Data Mixed in Asia
Euro zone retail sales surprised in February with growth of 0.4 percent with only four countries posting negative figures. Industrial production in Germany rose for a fourth consecutive month in February, up 0.4 percent. German exports fell more than expected in February, by1.3 percent, following January’s strong 2.2 percent gain. The U.K. services PMI decreased for a fifth consecutive month in March, down to 57.6 from 58.2. U.K. industrial production posted a strong 0.9 percent gain in February, the best since last June. China’s non-manufacturing PMIs were mixed in March. The official PMI fell to 54.5 from 55.0 and the HSBC services PMI increased to 51.9. Japan’s economy watchers survey of current conditions jumped to 57.9 in March, the highest since the survey began in 2000. However, the outlook index continued its three-month plunge, reaching the lowest level since the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake.

Performance data quoted reflects past performance which cannot guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment return and principal value is subject to fluctuations with changes in market conditions such that shares may be worth more or less than original cost when sold. Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value expressing the result as a percentage change. The calculation assumes that all distributions during the period have been reinvested on the payable dates, at NAV or at market price according to how the returns are labeled. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Pease see final page fopr important information on risks of investing in these funds and other important disclosure.

The preceding list of candidate investments is not constructed to guide portfolios outside of MGAM. Deletions and additions occur without notice and the actively managed portfolios of MGAM will vary from the preceding list. Prices and yields are as of the date indicated only and are subject to availability and market fluctuation/change. Closed -end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. Performance data quoted reflects past performance which cannot guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment return and principal value is subject to fluctuations with changes in market conditions such that shares may be worth more or less than original cost when sold. Returns are calculated by subtracting the value of a share at the beginning of the period from the value at the end and dividing the difference by the initial value expressing the result as a percent change. The returns do not reflect broker sales charges or commissions. Net asset value (NAV) is total assets divided by the less total liabilities number of shares outstanding. Holding municipal bonds within a closed-end fund could result in taxable capital gains. An insured fund guarantees only the timely payment of interest and principal on the bonds in the fund's portfolio. Insurance or escrow does not guarantee the market value of the municipal’s securities or the value of the fund's shares. Global/International investing involves risks not typically associated with US investing, including currency fluctuations, political instability, uncertain economic conditions and different accounting standards. Investments in high yield, non-investment grade securities are generally only suitable for aggressive investors willing to take greater risks, which could result in loss of principal and interest payments. Investing in Closed-End Funds may also involve the following risks: Market Risk - General stock market fluctuations and volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of the issuers change. Investor perceptions can be based on various and unpredictable factors including expectations regarding government economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction and political climates. The value of any security can rise or fall and when liquidated, may be worth more or less than the original investment. Price Risk - Refers to the fact that shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. Interest rate risk - The risk that arise in interest rates will cause the value of an investment to decline. Credit Risk - Refers to a bond issuer's ability to meet its obligation to make interest and principal payments, or a decline in the market's assessment of the issuer's ability to pay. Generally, lower rated securities provide higher current income but are considered to carry greater credit risk than higher rated securities. Leverage Risk - The risk of higher share price volatility and that the cost to a fund of its leveraged capital, such as preferred stock or debt, will exceed the earnings on the related assets. These securities are not suitable for all investors and should not be purchased on the basis of yield alone. Dividend yields are not guaranteed and may be reduced, which may negatively impact the price of the security. Price changes may be amplified by portfolio leverage.
