The Rain in Spain Remains on the Plain, Not in the Banks
Despite the Noise, 75% of Spain's Banking System Is Sound- 27-Jan-2011
Concerns about Spain’s banking system appear to arise from a handful of regional banks — which amount to less than 25% of the country’s banking system. Still, Spain, and the Eurozone as a whole, may have to successfully endure a further market shock before investor confidence is ultimately restored.

Germany: Sailing Into Sustainable Growth
Key Survey Shows German H2 2010 Growth Largely on Course- 27-Oct-2010
As it is widely believed that Europe usually follows the US (which is seeing signs of slowing), the sustainability of Eurozone growth in H2 2010 remains a big question — and the German economy may hold the answer. This study analyzes quarterly readings in the Ifo Business Climate Index, a widely watched indicator of the Germany economy, to gauge the H2 2010 outlook. Herein, we show which index component measures correspond well with the real economy, and we also examine recent readings on some major real economic indicators to determine factors driving the outlook.

Beware the Double Dip . . . Just Not Yet
A Tale of Four Double-Duty Indicators- 07-Jul-2010
Is a double-dip recession unavoidable? Since the current US economic expansion began, some people have been insisting that the US economy will fall back into recession in light of the hurdles it faces after enduring one of its most acute financial crises. However, the likelihood of a double-dip recession is very low and, even if it can’t be completely discarded, none of the indicators that normally support such a conclusion are present: no interest rate rise, no yield curve inversion, no oil price increase, and no decay in corporate profits.

Budget Deficits and Bond Markets
Analyzing the Relationship Between Deficits, Inflation and Yields- 07-Jun-2010
What is driving the deficit to historic highs? Should investors be concerned that rising budget deficits could spur inflationary pressures and higher interest rates? Is the bond market reflecting the deficit pressures? With deficit levels expected to remain high over the next few years, what would be the best investment strategy for bond investors? In this study, we look to answer these questions, with a primary focus on linkages between federal deficits and bond markets.

Another Greek Tragedy in the Making?
How a Financial Crisis Can Be Identified Ahead of Time- 19-Mar-2010
Data trends — rising external debt, high current budget deficit, and shrinking GDP — have been warning that Greece was headed for trouble, and, moreover, that Portugal may be headed down the same path. On the other hand, Spain, Italy, and the UK appear to be on more solid footing. Our analysis shows that productivity is not to blame for the financial turmoil. We also note that the Greek bailout is weakening the euro, boosting export-driven eurozone economies, like Germany’s.
