Computer Modelling Group (CMG-TSX) Stock Rating: Outperform Industry Rating: Market Perform

March 23, 2010 Research Comment Calgary, Alberta

Michael Mazar, CFA (403) 515-1538 [email protected] Jason A. Zhang

Initiating Coverage at Outperform

The Company CMG is the world leader in developing and supplying dynamic reservoir

simulation software. The company’s products aid its customers in

understanding the physics and hydrocarbon flow characteristics of their

reservoirs prior to development, which helps determine extraction processes

and, ultimately, recover more hydrocarbons. The company has more than 350

customers in 50 countries, roughly 125 employees and is headquartered in

Calgary, Alberta.

Forecasts We expect CMG to generate EPS of $0.90 in fiscal 2011 (the company has a

March 31 year-end) and $1.00 in fiscal 2012, up from $0.81 in fiscal 2010.

Revenues are expected to grow from $45.7 million in 2010 to $50.3 million in

2011 and $55.6 million in 2011. Our estimates assume essentially a 100%

renewal rate for existing annuity/maintenance licences.

Valuation CMG’s shares currently trade at 18.8x F2011E EPS and 16.9x F2012E EPS,

roughly in line with the Canadian energy services group averages. EV/EBITDA

is not as relevant a metric for CMG as P/E because of the extremely low capital

base and therefore very low depreciation. Despite its small size, we believe that

CMG should trade at a premium to the group in light of its steady cash flows,

high free cash flow yield, industry leading EVA and ROE performance,

dominant market position and exceptionally strong balance sheet. Our $21

target price is based on a P/E of 23.4x 2011E EPS and 21.1x 2012E EPS.

Recommendation We are initiating coverage of Computer Modelling Group with an Outperform

rating and a $21 target price.

Pason Systems (PSI-TSX) Stock Rating: Market Perform Industry Rating: Market Perform

March 23, 2010 Research Comment Calgary, Alberta

Michael Mazar, CFA (403) 515-1538 [email protected] Jason A. Zhang

Initiating Coverage at Market Perform

The Company Pason is the world’s largest provider of oilfield instrumentation, on a per day

rental basis, that enables data acquisition of reservoirs and the drilling process to

enhance efficiency, safety and economics. Pason does this by offering a suite of

products that are added to a land-based drilling or workover rig with a

communications link so that data can be stored and analyzed both at the well-

site and at offsite locations. Pason has been in business since 1978 and has been

publicly traded on the TSX since 1996.

Forecasts We expect Pason to generate EPS of $0.26 in 2010, growing to $0.66 in 2011 as

drilling activity continues to recover from trough 2009 levels. Revenues are

expected to be $227.1 million in 2010 and $288.5 million in 2011. We expect

improving operating margin performance in 2010 with margins of just over 51%

versus 50% in 2009, but still well below the 64% achieved in 2008.

Valuation Pason’s shares currently trade at 10.0x 2010E EBITDA and 6.6x 2011E

EBITDA. This is a modest premium to the company’s small- to mid-cap

Canadian energy services peer group average. While we believe a modest

premium is warranted in light of the company’s dominant competitive position,

track record for growth, high level of exposure to the secular trend toward more

complex drilling programs and its strong balance sheet, we believe the current

valuation is discounting a stronger drilling environment in 2011 than is likely

given continued challenging natural gas price fundamentals. Our $13 target

price is based on 7.6x 2011E EBITDA.

Recommendation We are initiating coverage of Pason with a Market Perform rating and $13 target

price.

Event Following a review of estimates, BMO Research is upgrading Golden Star

Resources to Outperform and raising the target price to US$5.

Impact Positive. The company has recently focused on demonstrating consistent

performance from its two mines, delivered solid operational results in 2009 and

appears poised to generate significant cash this year as it begins to focus on its

next phase of growth. Cash flow from operations was US$123M in 2009 and the

mines generated free cash flow of US$55M. Cash at year-end was US$154M,

allowing the company to double its exploration budget for 2010 to US$18M.

Forecasts BMO Research forecasts are unchanged. Current estimates do not include any

contribution from processing ore from Prestea South at the Bogoso oxide plant

in 2010. No value is ascribed to the Prestea Underground, but development

could add approximately US$0.25 per share to NPV estimates and increase

annual production by roughly 40,000oz.

Valuation The US$5 target price is based on a blend of 1.3x the BMO Research 10%

NPVPS estimate at spot prices and 10x the 2010 CFPS forecast.

Recommendation Golden Star is rated Outperform. The company offers attractive relative value

with possible catalysts for re-rating through permitting of Prestea South,

progress at Prestea Underground, and results from newly expanded drill

programs.

Positive.

Forecasts BMO forecasts that SouthGobi’s Ovoot Tolgoi and Soumber mines reach full

production of 10.5Mt saleable coal production by YE2013, up from 1.3Mt of

sales in 2009. The revised model assumes a slightly slower production ramp,

but also incorporates the company’s guidance on higher realized coal pricing.

The net effect is a decrease in 2010–12 earnings, but a slightly higher NPV.

Valuation BMO’s 10% NPV per share increased 2% from US$22.56 (C$23.01) to

US$22.93 (C$23.39).

Recommendation BMO Research is upgrading SouthGobi to Outperform (Speculative) from

Market Perform (Speculative) and maintaining the price target of C$21.

SouthGobi currently trades at about 70% of NPV whereas the rest of the coals

trade at over 90% NPV. On BMO’s estimates, the weakness in the shares

following the Hong Kong listing represents a good entry point for long-term

investors. SouthGobi has an excellent growth profile with accesses to growing

regional Chinese coal demand.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT-NASDAQ)

Stock Rating: Market PerformIndustry Rating: Market Perform

March 23, 2010 Research Comment Toronto, Ontario

Jason Granger, CA, CFA (416) 359-4293 [email protected]

Increasing Target Price to $38 on Tightening Industry Conditions

Event Conditions among active vehicles in the Truckload segment have been

tightening.

Impact Positive.

Forecasts We are not making any changes to our 2010 forecast; however, we are

increasing our 2011 EPS estimate to $1.89 from $1.72.

Valuation We are increasing our target price to $38 from $32 to reflect the increase to our

2011 earnings estimate and some multiple expansion, with improvements in

industry conditions. Our target is based on 20.2x our 2011 EPS forecast and

8.6x our 2011 EBITDA estimate.

Recommendation Industry reports suggest the supply-demand balance is nearing equilibrium in

some regions and we expect this trend to become more widespread in H2/10,

driven by continued supply contraction (with an acceleration in bankruptcies)

and firming in demand. Improvements in industry conditions should have a

more meaningful impact on pricing in 2011, which should bode well for JB

Hunt’s intermodal, Dedicated Carriage and Truckload business lines.

Approximately 88% of 2009 revenues were generated from intermodal, DCS

and freight brokerage. These services have more defensible characteristics and

higher barriers to entry than typical truckload. The company’s strong presence

in intermodal and the nature and location of its network position it well to

continue to capitalize on some unique opportunities. Notwithstanding these

factors, we currently do not see enough upside in valuation to warrant an

Outperform rating on the stock. Low rates have already been locked in by many

shippers for 2010. JB Hunt is rated Market Perform.

Peyto Energy Trust (PEY.UN-TSX) Stock Rating: Market PerformIndustry Rating: Market Perform

March 23, 2010 Research Comment Calgary, Alberta

Gordon Tait, CFA (403) 515-1501 [email protected] Assoc: Chris Bolton, CFA/Peter Kranz, P. Eng.

Going Horizontal

Event We recently met with Peyto management to get an update on their drilling

results and future drilling inventory.

Impact Slightly Positive.

Forecasts Our per unit operating cash flow estimates (CFPU) increase to $1.90 from $1.60

in 2010 and to $2.12 from $1.92 in 2011. We are increasing our 2010 cash

distribution per unit (CDPU) estimate to $1.44 from $1.08. Our 2011, CDPU

estimate remains unchanged at $1.08.

Valuation Our $14.50 target price is based on 6.7x 2010E debt-adjusted cash flow (DACF)

plus $4.96 per unit to account for our risked estimate of its development upside

(9.1x 2010E DACF only).

Recommendation Peyto continues to be one of the lowest cost operators in western Canada and

has historically demonstrated relatively high capital efficiency. While Peyto is

relatively new to horizontal drilling (13 wells spud to date) initial results have

been encouraging. The advent of horizontal drilling with multi-stage fracs has

the potential to add significant production and reserves at relatively attractive

metrics. We believe Peyto is a good bet for investors that are moderately bullish

on the outlook for natural gas. However, BMO Capital Markets does not share a

particularly bullish view on North American natural gas prices. Consequently,

we believe that the unit/share price of a natural gas producer such as Peyto may

be range-bound until the outlook for natural gas prices improves. Based on our

total return outlook, we continue to rate Peyto Energy Trust Market Perform.

Genivar Income Fund (GNV.UN-TSX) Stock Rating: OutperformIndustry Rating: Outperform

Member of: Top 15 Small Cap Stock Selections Top 15 Growth Stock Selections

March 23, 2010 Research Comment Toronto, Ontario

Bert Powell, CFA (416) 359-5301 [email protected] Assoc: Luigi Di Pede, CFA

Target Increased to $31; Management Continues to Execute; Outperform Rating Maintained

Event Genivar reported Q4/09 net revenues of $108.7 million, up 16.6% year over

year, versus our expectation of $108.2 million. Reported EBITDA was $21.0

million versus our expectation of $21.6 million, and was negatively affected by

a $1.4 million non-cash F/X loss. EPU were $0.48 versus our expectation of

$0.53. Excluding the F/X loss, earnings were in line with expectations.

Impact Neutral.

Forecasts For 2010, we forecast net revenue of $471.8 million and EPU of $2.57. For

2011, we forecast net revenues of $561.3 million and EPU of $2.36.

Valuation Our $31 target is based on 8.0x 2011E EV/EBITDA discounted back one year at

15.0%.

Recommendation Genivar delivered an in-line quarter with better-than-expected organic growth

despite a challenging economic environment. Operating margins continued to

remain fairly stable and backlog improved y/y. We remain confident

management will continue to execute on the M&A front and the strong balance

sheet provides the flexibility to pursue additional acquisition opportunities. We

continue to rate Genivar Outperform and have increased our target price to $31

from $30.

ed by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., and who is (are) not registerethe Analyst's Certification, please refer to pages 6 to 8.

Event Legacy reported Q4/09 CFPS of $0.27, slightly above our estimate of $0.23,

primarily reflecting lower operating costs. Average production of 4,728 boe/d

was in line with our forecast of 4,832 boe/d. The company exceeded 2009 exit

production guidance of 5,750 boe/d reflecting strong drilling results. Proved

plus probable (2P) reserves in 2009 were 16.1 MMboe. Legacy completed a

Q4/09 drilling program of 23 (18.0 net) wells with a 100% success rate

including 9.9 net Bakken horizontal wells in the Stoughton/Heward, Star Valley

and Taylorton areas. To date in Q1/10, Legacy has drilled 18 (14.2 net) wells.

The initial 2010 capital budget of $117 million was maintained consisting of 76

(58.7 net) wells targeting light oil. Based on this budget, Legacy expects to

achieve average production of 6,525 boe/d (97% oil) and exit production of

7,250 boe/d (26% growth from 2009 exit) in 2010.

Neutral.

Forecasts Reflecting adjustments to our operating assumptions based on Q4/09 results, our

CFPS estimates have been slightly increased to $1.31 in 2010 and $1.77 in

2011. Our financial estimates are based on production forecasts of 6,512 boe/d

in 2010 and 7,710 boe/d in 2011.

Valuation Legacy shares trade at premium 2010E valuation multiple of 9.6x P/CFPS and

9.8x EV/EBITDA. Our target price is supported by our updated sum-of-parts

analysis of $14.31 per share (flat long-term Cdn. par crude $80/bbl).

Recommendation We continue to rate Legacy shares Outperform. Taylorton Bakken wells

represent compelling near-term catalysts.

Impact Investors are primarily focused on two upcoming events for TH shares: the FDA advisory panel meeting on 5/27/10 followed by the PDUFA date of7/27/10 for tesamorelin. We continue to believe that tesamorelin has a compelling clinical profile and expect a positive outcome for both events(please see our prior notes for our in-depth analysis of tesamorelin). However, we pushed back our expected launch date for tesamorelin to 3Q10from 2Q10. Moreover, we updated our portfolio valuation model, which isbased on a modified discounted cash flow method.

efer to pages 6 to 8 for Important Disclosures, in

Forecasts We estimate tesamorelin can capture ~50% and ~40% of the severe lipohypertrophy patients in the US (22K) and ex-US (10K), respectively. With a slightly higher price than previous assumed, our tesamorelin peaksales estimate is $275 million in the US and $100 million in ex-US markets.

Valuation We estimate the present value of tesamorelin’s profits to be ~$317 million, present value (risk adjusted) of the US milestones (higher probability thanprevious assumption), cash position to be $160 million, and total firm value of $487 million or $8 per share.

Recommendation We maintain our OUTPERFORM(S) rating on TH shares.

Coast Wholesale Applicances (CWA.UN)Price: High,Low,Close Earnings/Share

Event

Release of Q4/09 results.

Impact Neutral. Coast’s Q4/09 results were generally in line with our forecasts, with

slightly lower-than-expected revenue offset by lower costs, resulting in

EBITDA of $2.6 million, compared to our forecast of $2.7 million.

Forecasts We have lowered our 2010 EBITDA forecast to $11.8 million from $11.9

million to reflect a challenging retail environment, expected Olympics-related

softness in Q1/10, partially offset by improving contract sales in late 2010. Our

2011 EBITDA forecast remains $13.1 million.

Valuation Our increased target price of $5.50 is based on a higher valuation multiple of

6.0x 2010E EV/EBITDA. This level of valuation represents a discount to the

peer group, in line with Coast’s historic relative valuation.

Recommendation We maintain our cautious outlook on Coast’s business through 2010, given

cautious retail spending on appliances, price competition in the retail segment

and reduced contract sales to the builder segment. However, recent growth in

housing starts and building permits authorized in Western Canada bode well for

the contract business over the longer-term, but these sales are not likely to be

recognized for 12-18 months (late 2010, into 2011), upon project completion.

Coast further reduced its debt levels in Q4/09 and has sufficient balance sheet

flexibility to weather economic challenges and potentially maintain its

distribution post-SIFT tax, aided by a $45 million tax shield. Coast units are

rated Market Perform.

Descartes Systems Group(DSGX-NASDAQ; DSG-TSX) Stock Rating: Market PerformIndustry Rating: Market Perform

March 23, 2010 Research Comment Toronto, Ontario

Thanos Moschopoulos, CFA (416) 359-5428 [email protected]

Target Price Raised to $7.00; Porthus Acquired

Event Descartes held a conference call to discuss its previously-announced acquisition

of Porthus, a vendor of network-based logistics solutions based in Belgium.

Descartes has acquired 96% of the shares and will be consolidating Porthus’

results as of March 19. It expects to acquire the remaining 4% by April 19.

Management reiterated its prior FY2011 guidance for revenue of $100+ million

and adjusted net income of $25 million for the combined entity.

Impact Slightly positive. We had expected that the transaction would successfully close,

although the fact that it has, with no unforeseen delays, is incrementally

positive. The acquisition will better help position Descartes with large global

customers in advance of new EU compliance requirements, which take effect in

2011, as Porthus was the leading vendor for electronic customs filings in

Europe. We don’t believe there is significant integration risk; while Porthus is

the largest acquisition that the current management team has completed, the

complementary nature of the product portfolio (which is also network-based)

should facilitate integration.

Forecasts We are raising our forecasts to reflect the acquisition. Our revised estimates are

roughly consistent with our previously published pro forma estimates for the

combined entity.

Valuation We are raising our target price to $7.00, reflecting 10.5x EV/EBITDA based on

FY2012E (roughly calendar 2011).

Recommendation We are maintaining our Market Perform rating.

Tim Casey, CFA (416) 359-4860 [email protected] Assoc: David Fidler

Trends Improving

Event Fiscal 2009 results.

Impact Slightly positive. 2009 operating results were slightly ahead of expectations and

business conditions have begun to improve.

Forecasts Mostly unchanged. Please note our estimates do not include contributions from

potential acquisitions.

Valuation Our $2.35 target price is based on ~6x 2011E EBITDA.

Recommendation Glacier Media reported fiscal 2009 results that were slightly ahead of

expectations. Business conditions began to improve in Q4 and the company

remains cautiously optimistic for 2010. We have assumed modest revenue

growth in 2010. Cost savings initiatives undertaken in 2009 will be fully

realized in 2010. We reiterate our view that Glacier will be very selective in any

acquisitions and that it is highly unlikely they will acquire any meaningful

exposure to urban dailies. Glacier Media is rated Market Perform.

Event BMO Research has reviewed its estimates following Q4/09 financial results and

a geological presentation hosted by management. Given continued impressive

exploration results at the company’s Mana mine in Burkina Faso, the potential

for resource additions and expansion of operations has been assessed.

Impact Potentially Positive. BMO Research currently includes upside to the current

resources and PEA parameters for the Wona Deeps underground development.

However, airborne geophysics has suggested extensive regional potential and

expanded drill programs are beginning to test the identified targets. BMO

Research analysis indicates that the current premium afforded SEMAFO shares

implies that additions of at least 1.0Moz to mineable reserves are anticipated.

Forecasts BMO Research EPS and CFPS estimates were negatively affected by higher

corporate costs, depreciation and capital expenditures from Q4/09 results.

Valuation The increased C$5.50 target price is based on a blend of 2.0x the BMO

Research 10% NPVPS estimate at spot prices from the Mana upside scenario

and 10x the 2011 CFPS forecast using base case assumptions.

Recommendation SEMAFO is rated Market Perform. The company has transitioned to a mid-tier

producer and established a solid foundation for growth at Mana. Further

exploration success is likely given the prospectivity of the property, but much of

the potential appears assumed given the current premium rating.

MALL TALK: March Field Team Finds Summary Month to date business in March has been strong,

based on our field research. Weather has been

favorable for early spring shopping, with mall traffic up

3% through the week ended 3/20. We expect the

release of Apple’s iPad to boost mall traffic in April

and shopping spillover to specialty apparel.

AEO – OP: We believe AEO is having a strong

month, driven by a spring floor set that is better

represented in wovens relative to its peers. We

expect to see improvements in AUR, given much less

clearance. We remain comfortable with our 1Q EPS

estimate of $0.16.

LULU – MP: We expect 4Q EPS of $0.30, slightly

ahead of guidance for $0.26-$0.28. We expect

management to stress the continued need for

incremental SG&A spend in FY2010 on store labor to

build back service levels, which may limit SG&A

leverage.

The Sale Rack Index continues to run roughly 5%

lower than last year.

Month to date, business in March has been strong, according to our field research. Weather has been favorable for early spring shopping, evidenced by a 3% uptick in mall traffic through the week ended March 20. Our store checks indicate that conversions are improving, given pent-up demand and the infusion of better fashion items into many assortments. We also expect the release of Apple’s iPad on April 3 to boost mall traffic in April and create shopping spillover to our specialty apparel stores.

American Eagle (AEO – OP): We believe AEO is having a strong month, driven by a spring floor set that is better represented in wovens (a key trend of the season) relative to its peers. We expect to see improvements in AUR, given much less clearance, coupled with a stronger position in denim and knits. We remain comfortable with our 1Q EPS estimate of $0.16.

lululemon athletica (LULU – MP): We expect LULU to report 4Q EPS of $0.30, slightly ahead of guidance for $0.26-$0.28. We expect management to stress the continued need for incremental SG&A spend in FY2010 on store labor to build back service levels, which may limit SG&A leverage.

Reitmans (RET.A – OP): We expect RET to report 4Q EPS of $0.21, in line with consensus. We believe strength in December carried through the remainder of the quarter and into 1Q10. Based on our channel checks, we believe business in early spring has been solid thus far, as well.

The Sale Rack Index continues to run roughly 5% lower than last year.

Euro Breakdown

CLICK HERE for a printer friendly version of this report including research disclosures.

The euro brok e to the down side at 4:40 a.m. this morning (before Fitch downgraded Portugal; and on this downgrade, we note that it is having little if any impact on Portuguese sovereign deb t so far – see BMO Chart). This euro break down follows a failed upsid e r eversal only eight sessions ago – Figure 1. Risk on the euro is to the 1.32 level. Headline risk is certainly the order of the week and year for the euro.

This euro weakness / dollar st rength will certainly weaken gold shares, which have dropped to a 6th decil e position in our Group Selection Report.

It will a lso hold Europ ean indi ces in four-bom b underperforming trends, and No rth American in dices in four-star outperforming patterns compared to the S&P Global 1200 – see link.

For equity investors - stay dollar bloc.

A.M. Notes

Dr. Sherry Cooper, Chief Economist [email protected]

416-359-4112

NORTH AMERICA – Michael Gregory

On today’s docket… U.S. durable goods orders—February (@ 08:30): Sal Guatieri notes that they should rise 0.6%, boosted by a jump in Boeing orders. However, lower auto production likely acted as a slight headwind. Excluding transportation, orders are expected to retrace part of the prior month’s 1% decline. Core capital goods orders (a good proxy for business capital spending) which were particularly weak in January, plunging 4.1%, likely also rebounded, but probably not enough to erase the earlier decline.

U.S. new home sales—February (@ 10:00): Sal also notes that they are likely to hold flat at January’s record low 309,000. While the small increase in the NAHB index in February points to some potential gain, it was likely overwhelmed by the poor weather. And, with the NAHB falling in March, the outlook for housing remains negative. (Yesterday, existing sales slipped 0.6% to 5.02 mln, down for the third month in row).

Then cometh the Canadian policymakers… Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will hold a news conference @ 9:00. He’s apparently announcing the kickoff of pension reform consultations, as advertised in the recent budget.

Bank of Canada Governor Carney speaks on “The Virtue of Productivity in a Wicked World”. The text will be released @12:50, followed by a press conference @ 14:10. Any discussion on productivity will probably touch on the loftiness of the loonie and the need for Canadian firms to become more productive to compete in foreign markets and at home (with the C$ also providing a means to achieve this—cheaper imported capital goods). It could also touch on other implications of Canada’s poor productivity performance—it lowers the economic speed limit and has already been cited (in January’s MPR) as a culprit contributing to the “stickiness” of core inflation by keeping unit labour cost increases stubbornly high.

However, with it now looking like the BoC’s projections for Q1 core CPI inflation (1.6% y/y) and real GDP growth (3.5%) will both come up short, market participants will be scouring the text and Q&A for clues to the timing and magnitude of those first few policy rate hikes. While Mr. Carney might hint at an upgrade to the near-term projections to be presented in April’s Monetary Policy Report, we still wouldn’t be surprised if the Governor downplays the recent upside surprise in the core CPI (owing to Olympic-sized hotel price hikes) and run of reports pointing to a solid January GDP gain with February overflow (owing to the Olympics again along with pulled-forward housing activity and the temporary ripples from North American inventory restocking). The policy clues could be sparse.

The Province of Saskatchewan will table its FY2010/11 budget @ 16:15. Robert Kavcic notes that it’s expected to focus on spending restraint as resource revenues remain under pressure. In its latest FY2009/10 update, the Province penciled in a $425 mln surplus, but an $86 mln deficit before transfers from the reserve fund. The weakened fiscal position (which is still quite healthy relative to all other Provinces) is the result of a massive $2.1 bln decline in potash revenues from last year’s original budget plan—prices and production both fell sharply last year. The Province has already begun to reign in spending plans, lowering the FY2009/10 tally by $100 mln during the last year, and this year’s budget will likely take further aim at government expenses.

Yesterday afternoon, Manitoba tabled its budget. Rob reported that the province’s FY2010/11 plan takes a balanced approach to deficit reduction against a still-fragile economic backdrop, offering modest spending growth and some tax/user fee increases. It is projecting a $545 mln summary deficit in FY2010/11, slightly improved from an estimated $555 mln deficit in FY2009/10. The Province will lean on its Fiscal Stabilization Account for $129 mln. Longer term, the Province is anticipating four years of deficits before returning to a $185 mln surplus in FY2014/15… We get Ontario tomorrow.

OVERSEAS – Benjamin Reitzes

The US$ index is up strongly this morning, thanks mostly to a sizeable drop in the euro (see below). All the other majors are weaker as well, with the NZ$ lagging after Q4’s current account deficit widened much more than expected. Elsewhere, Japan’s February merchandise trade surplus came in higher than consensus, as exports rose 45.3% y/y. Export volumes were solid too, up 1.2% on the month and 44% y/y. But the decent data didn’t help the yen. The pound is softer ahead of a pre-election budget announcement by the ruling Labour party (who are trailing in the polls). The budget is expected to lay out the framework for returning to a more sustainable fiscal path. The strong US$ is weighing on commodities: oil is down 1.7% to $80.50, gold is $10 lower to $1095, base metals are down 1% to 2%, and grains are weaker as well. The euro fell to its lowest level since last May, as it appears that the IMF will be part of any aid package for Greece. Markets are concerned that IMF involvement could mean ever harsher austerity measures (since currency devaluation isn’t an option), which could prompt a potential exit from the Euro area by Greece. The push to get the IMF involved came solely from Germany who has strongly resisted providing any support to Greece, as it is politically extremely unpopular. IMF involvement would add some credibility to the process, as it is very experienced in these matters, but it certainly shows that the Euro area can’t take care of its own. This crisis is a test of the currency’s staying power, and if Greece is allowed to exit, that may only be the first step towards eventual dissolution of the Euro area. Greece isn’t the only country facing difficulty, as Fitch downgraded Portugal’s sovereign debt rating one notch to AA- and kept the negative outlook (meaning more downgrades are possible). Politics are

starting to play a more prominent role in the crisis, which could spell trouble for heavily indebted Euro area countries. As long as the Greece situation drags on without resolution, the euro will likely remain under pressure. Moreover, if there’s no resolution soon, Portugal and Spain could soon be in the spotlight as well. Meantime, Euro area data were mostly solid. The manufacturing and services PMIs for March handily beat expectations. The manufacturing index rose to its best level since Dec. ’06, while the services measure hit a 28-month high. Germany’s Ifo survey of business confidence also beat expectations, rising 2.9 pts to 98.1 in March, a 21-month high. The current situation and expectations components both gained ground. The improvement in both the PMIs and the Ifo survey point to more solid growth in Q2 following a weather-dampened Q1. There was one bit of softer news though, as Euro area industrial new orders fell 2% in January. The consensus call was for a similar-sized gain. Bottom Line: Europe is recovering, but the pace remains sluggish. Asian equity markets closed higher, as the Nikkei rose 0.4%, the Hang Seng gained 0.1%, and China’s CSI 300 was flat. European markets are down; DAX (-0.7%), CAC (-0.9%), FTSE (-0.5%). U.S. equity futures are pointing to a lower open. U.S. treasuries are little changed. Gilts and Bund 10-yrs yields are flat as well. JGB 10-yr yields were down 1 bp.
