My colleague Sam Millette, manager, fixed income on Commonwealth’s Investment Management and Research team, helped me put together this month’s Economic Risk Factor Update. Thanks for the assist, Sam! Let’s take a closer look.

The February reports showed continued signs of economic growth. More jobs than expected were added in February, and service sector confidence remained strong during the month. That said, two of the indicators we track in this piece, the yield curve and consumer confidence, remained at a risk level of red during the month.

Given the mixed results, we have left the overall risk level at yellow for now.
