Joe Morgan, CFANo, the title to this commentary is not a typo. On March 22, the Treasury announced it would sell its mortgage holdings, plunking a cool $10 billion of the securities back into the market on a monthly basis until its entire $142 billion of holdings have been depleted. On the other side of this transaction, the Treasury will do… nothing.  Read More]]>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/olBIeRA5tAE/Fri, 01 Apr 2011 17:36:20 GMT4294972219http://www.svb.com/blogs/jmorgan/treasury-tightens/At the Mercy of PoliticsJoe Morgan, CFA
Joe Morgan, CFAFall always seems to be an eventful season for the markets. Although the fourth quarter did not see outsized drama in market prices, many changes occurred that will affect market prices in quarters to come.  Read More]]>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/WYscBKeWR4s/Mon, 03 Jan 2011 16:25:00 GMT4294971476http://www.svb.com/blogs/jmorgan/at-mercy-of-politics/How Low is Low?Joe Morgan, CFA
Joe Morgan, CFAJust when we all thought rates couldn’t get any lower, they did. As we entered the third quarter, fears of European debt problems both at the government and banking level consumed the marketplace. Government spending’s chickens, it seems, were coming home to roost.

Joe Morgan, CFAIt’s been interesting to watch the markets set up for alternating scenarios through this downturn. Several times during the last 22 months since Lehman went under, fears of inflation have swept in like waves on the beach. Just as quickly the water receded from the shore.  Read More]]>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/aMi-yxl5v9M/Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:45:00 GMT4294969339http://www.svb.com/Blogs/Joe_Morgan/Overshooting_to_the_Downside/The Extension of the Extended PeriodJoe Morgan, CFA
Joe Morgan, CFAIn recent weeks we have seen interest rates on the rise some 20 percent or more! Of course, that’s only about 20 basis points in the front end, but many believe this indicates a market gearing up for interest rate increases.  Read More]]>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/AKk3QCTSw5s/Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:38:39 GMT4294968162http://www.svb.com/Blogs/Joe_Morgan/The_Extension_of_the_Extended_Period/Surviving at the Bottom of the RiverbedJoe Morgan, CFA
Joe Morgan, CFAMany market commentators are referring to today’s economic malaise in the form of letters. Are we in a “U-shaped” recession or will it be a “W?” Perhaps the worst of both worlds: the dreaded “L.” The obvious extended nature of our current downturn will be much longer than that implied by these simplistic descriptors. Instead, I prefer the analogy of crossing a riverbed. Today, we stand in the flat portion at the bottom of the riverbed, having sped down towards the bottom rather violently.  Read More]]>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/4l8fIHgS_Mw/Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:23:45 GMT2147483810http://www.svb.com/Blogs/Joe_Morgan/Surviving_at_the_Bottom_of_the_Riverbed/Third Quarter 2009 Economic CommentaryThe current economic landscape has improved as the turmoil that we experienced 12 months ago dissipates.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2137">Read More</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~4/GY_6YnKK2-Q" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/GY_6YnKK2-Q/linkit.aspxFri, 09 Oct 2009 15:00:00 GMT385http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2137Second Quarter 2009 Economic CommentaryHope and optimism grew through the second quarter as the Nasdaq returned 20.3 percent, while the broader S&amp;amp;P 500 returned 15.9 percent.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2135">Read More</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~4/w8xRiwUmr4Q" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/w8xRiwUmr4Q/linkit.aspxMon, 06 Jul 2009 15:00:00 GMT434http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2135First Quarter 2009 Economic CommentaryThe first quarter was filled with hope and not a little optimism from investors even though consumers continued to pare back their purchases.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2131">Read More</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~4/_YAdDaetAkg" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/_YAdDaetAkg/linkit.aspxMon, 20 Apr 2009 14:00:00 GMT477http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2131Fourth Quarter 2008 Economic CommentaryFear drove most decision-making processes in the fourth quarter as investors and consumers alike planned for the worst.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2133">Read More</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~4/EAlusMhvvug" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/EAlusMhvvug/linkit.aspxFri, 23 Jan 2009 17:30:00 GMT524http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2133Third Quarter 2008 Economic CommentaryThe $700 billion bailout plan is designed to promote confidence in our financial system, but it will take several months before we know its effectiveness.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2136">Read More</a><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~4/7NvWkgAVbBA" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SVBFinancialGroup-QuarterlyEconomicReport/~3/7NvWkgAVbBA/linkit.aspxTue, 14 Oct 2008 16:30:00 GMT541http://www.svb.com/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=2136
