20 November 2016 US Equity Insights 2016E S&P EPS cut from $128 to $125 mostly on stronger dollar and lower oil price assumptions We have long cautioned that every 10% appreciation in the dollar vs. mature currencies drags on S&P EPS growth by 2.5%. Every dime the Euro declines vs. L150 hits S&P EPS by $1. Every $5/bbl oil price decline hits S&P EPS by $1, net of small benefits outside of Energy, Industrial Capital Goods & Materials; which all suffer. Airlines, Consumer Staples & Discretionary firms benefit from lower oil prices, but most of the cost savings is passed forward to customers. We lower our average 2016 Euro assumption from about $1.10 to $1.05. We raise our 2016 avg. DXY assumption from about 95 to 100. We lower our 2016 avg. oil price assumption from $60/bbl to $55/bbl and natural gas to $2.75. We also tempered our growth assumptions at US Retailers, Housing and Banks.
