Chief Investment Officer of equities at Federated Investors, Stephen Auth, examines the sovereign debt situation in Italy and the chances of Italy defaulting. "It's one thing if Greece were to default (though that's looking less likely); it's entirely another if the euro-zone’s third-largest economy struggles to pay up. The worry is that nearly $260 billion of Italy's sovereign debt rolls over this year, with a significant chunk coming due next month. If investor appetite for Italian debt doesn't hold up, Italian bond yields may spike, Spain may follow and the risk-off trade is back on with a vengeance. We think this sort of thinking is misguided."

Philip Orlando, Chief Equity Market Strategist at Federated Investors sees three headwinds to U.S. economic growth in 2012. "The U.S. economy was clearly gaining momentum as we headed into year-end 2011, marked by strengthening trends in employment, manufacturing and consumer spending. There's little question, however, that in the early stages of 2012, three exogenous economic headwinds threaten this positive development: the likely PIIGS-driven recession in the euro zone; possible fiscal drag from ongoing policy dysfunction in Washington; and the prospect of a hard landing among critically important emerging-market economies, particularly in China."

Philip Orlando, Chief Market Strategist for Federated Investors, dives into the most recent trade data and explains why it could lead to an upward revision of third quarter GDP. "Quarterly GDP growth has risen this year from its trough at 0.4% in the first quarter, to 1.3% in the second quarter, to a preliminary gain of 2.5% in the third quarter and finally to a level that may be prospectively equal to or higher than that in the fourth quarter. So the U.S. economy, in our view, is strengthening from a temporary soft patch, not rolling over into a double-dip recession."

Stephen Auth, Chief Investment Officer at money manager Federated Investors, works his way through the various fears given as the cause of the current swoon in the markets. "As we assess the market actions this week, it strikes us that President Roosevelt's famous phrase remains very much in play. Ironically, this week's sell off actually accelerated when the current successor to FDR's mantel, President Obama, stepped in on Monday to calm markets, but instead seemed to frighten them further."
