Both U.S. and euro high-
yield markets suffered in
early July from increasing
concerns around Greece and
the Chinese equities market.
There were outflows from
U.S. high-yield bonds and
low liquidity in the European
market led to sharp daily
price and sentiment swings.
But these high-yield sectors
strengthened after signs of
progress on Greece and we
remain positive here on a 3-
to 12-month horizon. In the
United States default rates
are expected to remain low as
issuers have largely refinanced
maturities into 2017 and
beyond.

Overall U.S. retail-sales growth
has been relative€y modest
in recent months with, for
example, 1.0% year-on-year
growth in May followed by
a 1.4% gain in June. Part of
this has been due to a tall in
gasoline-station sales due
to lower gasoline prices,
year-on-year. But some areas
of consumer-discretionary
(as distinct from consumer-
staples) spending have
continued to perform strongly,
including auto sales. This has
been reflected in resilient
performance by the S&P
500 Consumer Discretionary
Index, which reached a year-
to-date high in mid-July. We
expect a continued pickup
in consumer-discretionary
spending as 2015 progresses,
encouraged by further labor-
market improvement, wage
growth and higher household
net worth.

Cloud computing may boost
software spending at the
expense of services spending.
