3 The economy is moving again but which way and how fast? Long term trends continue to drive uncertainty as the global economy transitions to a new equilibrium Aging developed economies are growing more slowly Emerging markets not large or stable enough to offset slowing developed economies Raw material investment boom remains a trouble spot Energy, industrial metals struggling with excess capacity and slower than expected demand growth All commodity prices are impacted by the strong dollar Low global economic growth mostly sustained by consumer spending but it doesn t have to be low Consumer spending outpaces industrial production in the US, EU, Japan and China Little pricing power as competition remains intense An opportune time to invest in infrastructure globally low input and financing costs 3

Labor is more expensive and capital is cheaper in the US compared to fast growing emerging market economies such as China. The US has comparative (and competitive) advantages in the production of goods that use little labor. This is shown in the list of goods that the US has been prone to export.

17 Global economic growth supported by consumer spending US RETAIL SALES (% YEAR AGO) CHINA RETAIL SALES (% YEAR AGO) EU RETAIL SALES (% YEAR AGO) Source: Trading Economics Lower fuel prices allows consumers to spend their income on other goods note that retail sales shown here includes spending on fuel The Fed and the ECB are not under pressure to raise interest rates. PBOC is lowering interest rates In Europe and North America consumers spend more on services than on goods this could be even more pronounced as their populations age Consumers in North America, Europe and Asia are increasingly favoring ecommerce over bricks and mortar shopping this could reduce impulse buying 17
18 US Economic Scorecard is not negative for Indicator Score Considerations Monetary Policy Neutral The Fed is withdrawing the punchbowl soon but very gently Inflation Positive A bit low, but little inflation risk. Fiscal Policy Neutral Shifting towards deficit and debt reduction Financial Sector Neutral FDIC s watch list declining, consumer credit increasing, regulatory stance has been contractionary, corporate bond market may present bubble risk Causes of Last Recession Positive Residential real estate sector is in the long process of recovery Leading Industries Neutral Industries likely to lead growth in this cycle have been investing but energy and mining got ahead of consumption trends Production Costs Positive Low interest rates, wages, commodity prices Labor Markets Global Economy Positive Neutral Employment rising in expected industries, energy sector is shedding employees Central banks have cut interest rates and are increasing liquidity, but Emerging Markets could be impacted by rising US interest rates and weak commodity prices, and Europe is still dealing with the legacy of austerity and an embargo. Stronger U$ means weaker export and economic growth The most significant factor is the degree to which the Fed feels it needs to tighten. This is a Recovery Period score card, once the Fed starts hiking a different score card will be used. Real GDP growth is forecasted to be 2.4% in 2015 and 2.8% in Source: Moffatt & Nichol 18
