Final Remarks on Growth
Prospects poor
• US export and business E&S engines slowing
• Eurozone contagion hurts RO-Europe brightness
• China hard landing, dependence on exports, can’t
pivot to domestic
• Every where else buffeted by big-guy downdrafts
15
Final Remarks on UST
Prospects good
• Portfolio headroom for all types of US assets
• Low global risk appetite supports UST demand
• Exchange rate intervention demand around the world
• Foreign Official like what Fed has—so exit might work

Currency Market Stories Dollar? • Depreciation: Fiscal deficit, monetary policy exit fails. • Appreciation: Portfolio headroom, rebound from historical
lows, UST purchases for intervention by others Euro? • Depreciation: to counter fiscal austerity, sovereign crisis • Appreciation: if crisis resolved
RMB? • Depreciation: dependence on export-led growth,
– but against who? • Appreciation: only when global growth resumes,
– and against who? 18
