A reading below 50 is associated with a contraction in the non-manufacturing sector. • Historically, when the ISM Manufacturing Index printed below 50 this led to recessions. - Today the U.S. economy is more heavily dependent on the services sector, indicating the importance of the NMI figure in signaling potential recessions. 2 DoubleLine Asset Allocation Webcast Recap Originally aired on May 5, 2020 Slide # Recap 20 U.S. Federal Reserve Balance Sheet • As financial markets weakened throughout March, the U.S. Federal Reserve took major steps to respond through monetary policy. • The Fed has dramatically increased the size of its balance sheet to $6.66 trillion, as of April 29, 2020. - By adding nearly $3 trillion to its balance sheet in less than a year, the Fed has seemingly embarked on a new Quantitative Easing (QE) program. • A breakdown of the Fed’s System Open Market Account (SOMA) holdings growth reveals a similar playbook to that used after the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2009 to expand its balance sheet via QE. - As of April 29, 2020, the bulk of the Fed’s holdings within its SOMA are comprised of Treasury notes and Treasury bonds, at approximately $3.35 trillion. - The next largest holdings are Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) totaling $1.60 trillion. QE as a Percentage of GDP and Treasury Market 22 • Not only is the breakdown of the Fed’s Treasury and Agency MBS holdings as a percentage of its overall balance sheet similar to previous QE programs, the amount of Treasuries the Fed purchased as a percentage of the overall market is also similar. - The Fed’s purchases of Treasuries as part of its current “QE 4” program represent about 9% of the outstanding Treasury market. - This surpasses the most recent total for the QE 3 program (2012-2014) and is nearly identical to the share of the Treasury market represented by purchases during QE 2 (2010-2011). • As a percentage of GDP, the magnitude of the Fed’s recent purchases of Treasuries appears more clearly when compared relative to previous QE programs. - The only program which represented a greater amount of Fed purchases of Treasuries as a percentage of GDP was during WWII. 22 Year-to-Date (YTD) Fixed Income Sector Returns • Fixed income performance YTD through May 4, 2020, has been a story of “haves” and “have-nots” in terms of support from the Fed, Treasury Department, and Congress for certain sectors of the market. • The top two performing fixed income sectors YTD are Governments and Agency MBS (as measured by the ICE BAML U.S. Treasury & Agency Index and the ICE BAML U.S. MBS Index). - These are two examples of sectors directly granted support from the Fed in the form of asset purchases. • Investment grade corporate bonds have a positive YTD return of 0.67%, as measured by the ICE BAML US Corporate Index, as of May 4, 2020. - Investment grade corporate bonds initially deteriorated along with other credit assets throughout March as the market reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the U.S. - The drawdown by investment grade corporate bonds was followed by a swift retracement largely as a result of various announcements by the Fed detailing support in the form of new facilities designed to maintain liquidity and lower financing costs. 3 DoubleLine Asset Allocation Webcast Recap Originally aired on May 5, 2020 Slide # Recap • Some of the worst performing sectors in fixed income YTD have been high yield corporate debt (as measured by the ICE BAML U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Index) and international sovereign debt rated below investment grade (as measured by the ICE BAML BBB & Lower Sovereign USD External Debt Index). 26 Fixed Income Sector Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) • The yields of various sectors of fixed income rose substantially beginning in late February 2020. • Generally, most sectors of fixed income reached their peak YTM since the Global Financial Crisis in March 2020. - March 23, 2020, represents the first of two pivotal days in 2020 for credit markets, and the peak in terms of yield for various sectors.
