Overview
Issues impacting growth and the US bond market
• Gridlock in Washington
– Pro-growth policies hard to implement
– Anti-growth policies more unilateral in nature
• Notable headwinds to higher rates
• Expect 2% domestic growth
• Fed to raise rates but very cautiously
Updated as of April 2017
24
5
New Administration – Elevated Volatility & Uncertainty
• Fiscal stimulus – positive for growth
Tax Reform
Infrastructure Spending
Possible without budget neutrality?
• Immigration and Trade – negative for growth
Reduced supply of labor
Tariffs or other reductions in free trade
Timing & scale of implementation are uncertain but both policy outcomes
will put upward pressure on inflation
