Economic and Market Outlooks
Long-end US Treasury yields have broken out of their five-year range primarily due to strong nominal and real GDP growth, and the current level of yields appears to be a normal reflection of this economic backdrop rather than a sign of crisis.
Economic and Market Outlooks
Despite a rate hike and rising gas costs squeezing households this year, consumer spending remains resilient thanks to historically low household leverage, near-full employment, and increasingly wealthy, low-debt baby boomers whose spending is driven by asset prices rather than borrowing.
Economic and Market Outlooks
Futures markets see a 90% chance of a 25-basis-point hike at this week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting, and while central banks rarely stop at one hike, equities have historically weathered first hikes well and current economic strengths—insulated from rate changes—suggest tightening may avoid triggering a recession.
