Dear Clients,

David Hale has recorded a podcast that analyzes recent economic news. Key topics include:
• Adverse effects of the Greek turmoil on the rest of Southern Europe--whether or not Greece leaves the European Monetary Union

•Why US growth will exceed 2% in the second quarter

• Why Japan’s recent economic performance has exceeded expectations, while China’s performance has underwhelmed

These and other topics will be addressed at greater length in our upcoming monthly report, which will be released early next week.

The podcast can be accessed at anytime by dialing:
Dial-in Number: 1-347-614-1000
Passcode: 578332

Additionally, in preparation for the NATO summit this weekend in Chicago, David Hale has written "America Forges Ahead in the New Global Economy," an article for the G8 Research Group’s newest publication. He analyzes factors driving US growth, and explains how the US could soon become energy independent. It can be accessed at the following link: http://www.davidhaleweb.com/g8-magazine-america-forges-ahead-in-the-new-global-economy/

The publication includes contributions from G8 leaders such as President Barack Obama and Chancellor Angela Merkel, as well as from other commentators on the subjects of growth, innovation, employment, developmental challenges, and food security. A copy of the full report, "G8 Camp David Summit 2012: The Road to Recovery" can be found at the following link: http://www.g8.utoronto.ca/newsdesk/g8campdavid2012.pdf
