The first quarter of 2021 brought what the Asset Allocation Committee expected, and as it looks to the next six to 12 months, it faces two questions. Do we think the economy will overheat, pushing bond yields to levels that unsettle equity markets or even force central banks to stifle...
All of the recent positive economic news caused the IMF to raise its 2021 U.S. GDP forecast by a giant step to 6.4% (from 5.1% previously estimated). That would represent the strongest annual economic growth rate since 1984. The one warning flag is inflation. Producer Price Index rose...

For the February period, job openings equal nearly 7.4 million and are approaching the peak job openings level of 7.5 million reached in late 2018. This represents a positive sign that economic activity is increasing and businesses are experiencing increasing demand; hence, the need f...
Initial claims for regular state unemployment insurance totaled 744,000 for the week ending April 3, up 16,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised tally of 728,000. Despite a second consecutive uptick, the outlook for jobs and the economy has been improving as government restric...
