Economy

Synchronized global recovery taking shape, but growth will remain below historical averages.

Rates

With inflation relatively contained, low rate environment should persist. Rates expected to modestly drift higher this year.Currency

US $ strength to persist Risks

Currencies, Liquidity, Inflation? - Deflation?…

Economic Outlook - Expecting Better Growth Globally

US – Strong 2014 expected.

• Weather impacted first quarter growth, but 2Q expected to show strong rebound.

Europe – last year was difficult, particularly in first half.

• However, growth prospects have improved for this year.

Emerging Markets – have suffered the most when the US rate environment changed last year.

• Expect government policy to become more pro-growth this year.

Although debt problems at governments around the world persist, banking systems have improved which helps to reduce volatility.

Construction markets in US and Europe expected to show strong growth this year.

• Note weather hurt growth last year.

Companies feel better about economic outlook

• Will drive increase in capital expenditures, launch new products etc.

• Looking to make more acquisitions

• Productivity improvements ongoing

• Share buybacks and dividends used more to deploy free cash.

Automation, energy efficiency, & productivity related products continue to be in strong demand

Recurring revenue model increasing desired since it helps limit earnings volatility during economic downturns.
