Several times over the past 12 months we've used these pages to chronicle the decline in interest rates and often used the terms, "Interest rates hit record lows". If we returned to 20th century technology the LP on the turntable would hit the scratch and tell us once again, "Interest rates hit record low". Why do we keep hearing the same tune over and over? There are several kiWIM610.11 1. Economic Indicators: There are signs the US economy is recovering, home prices are minimally rising in various regions of the country or at least stabilizing; unemployment is declining (currently below 8% for the first time since 2008); and, consumer confidence seems to be improving as evidenced by slight improvements in retail sales (although retail sales have fallen in each of the last 3 months retailers are expecting a better 2012 holiday shopping season over 2011). The Federal Reserve feels these improvements will not continue or can't be sustained if interest rates are allowed to rise. Therefore, the Fed continues to comment publically about its desire to keep interest rates low and the Federal Funds rate in a range of 0.00% - 0.25% through at least mid -2015. In addition, while "Operation Twist" will end on December 31 the Fed intends to continue its latest round of "Quantitative Easing" (the 3rd sequel) by buying mortgage securities in a continuing effort to stimulate the mortgage market, and, as a consequence, the real estate market. 2. Europe: Greece is once again (perhaps thrice again, we lost count) back at the table trying to renegotiate terms of its bailout package. The Euro zone continues to anxiously await Spain's forthcoming bailout request. Protests continue throughout Western Europe as people are feeling the effects of austerity measures their countries have taken to grapple with growing sovereign and regional government debt problems. Plus, its official, the Euro zone has entered its 2nd recession since 2008. These European problems cause investors to seek safe havens by selling their European holdings and buying US bonds, driving bond prices up and interest rates down. www.ehlers-inc.com _ 1 EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE EHLERS INVESTMENT PARTNERS BOND TRUST SERVICES c o ve r ti x a r¢ u N 800.552.1171 800.717.9742 866F%Fth2,ff Ehlers inc. Ehlers Investment Partners and Bond Trust Services are subsidiaries of Ehlers Holding Company MarketCommentary 3. Post -Election Issues: Now that the election is over there is a semblance of certainty causing investors to focus on other matters. The current, primary concern is in regard to the Budget Control Act of 2011, which prescribes a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts through a process known as sequestration, all of which are currently scheduled to take effect January 1. These outcomes have come to be dubbed the "fiscal cliff'. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that if sequestration is allowed to proceed the effects could hamper economic growth significantly, causing 2013 GDP to decline by as much as 4.00%. Corporations and consumers are taking precautions. Non-military orders for capital goods fell at a 3.6% annualized rate during the 2nd quarter. Consumers, already worried about their jobs and stagnant incomes, are deciding to save instead of spend (perhaps in conflict with retailers' hopes of increased holiday spending), evidenced by a 0.4% increase in the savings rate. The US Conference of Mayors recently calls the sequestration process "the biggest threat to our metro economies." The CBO feels that if we fall off the fiscal cliff the ensuing recession will be longer and deeper than the recession of 2008. Election results have put legislators in a conciliatory mood and they are discussing ways to avert the "fiscal cliff', at least for now. 4. Let's not also forget about the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG, how many acronyms so far?) program set to expire December 31. TAG provides for unlimited Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage on non-interest bearing transaction accounts. With tax collections on the horizon, banks, already burdened with an over- abundance of deposits they can't lend, may be required to provide collateral for public depositors that were previously secured through the TAG program. As deposits grow, banks are likely to become even bigger buyers of US government securities for use as collateral, driving up prices further and interest rates lower. With all that said, interest rates continue to set record lows. The average AAA municipal bond yields, as reported by Thomas Reuters' Municipal Market Data, have fallen to 1.51% for a ten- year bond and 2.55% for a 30 year bond — both record lows. The weekly "Bond Buyer 20 -bond index" dropped last week by 14 basis points (0.14%) to 3.41%, the lowest it has been since February, 1967. The ten-year US Treasury rate is below 1.62%. These historically low rates provide us with another opportunity to revisit refunding opportunities for savings or restructuring. www.ehlers-inc.cor11 _ EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE EHLERS INVESTMENT PARTNERS BOND TRUST SERVICES /// C 0 i r V R A r 1 O N 800.552.1171 800.717.9742 805283 Ehlers Inc, Ehlers Investment Partners and Band Trust Services are subsidiaries of Ehlers Holding Company MarketCommentary A Trends in Municipal Bond Yields November 2 to November 16, 2012 Source: * Thomson Reuters Municipal Market Data ** The Bond Buye Average yield on a portfolio of municipal bonds maturing in 20 years, with an average rating of AA/Aa2. www.ehlers-inc.com� EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE EHLERS INVESTMENT PARTNERS BOND TRUST SERVICES c o ve r ti x a r¢ u N 800.552.1171 800.717.9742 86623 Ehlers inc.
