Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 28th, 2013

By Frazier Allen | April 28, 2013 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The economic data were generally on the weak side of expectations. The advance estimate of 1Q13 GDP growth came in weaker than anticipated (at a 2.5% annual rate, vs. expectations of +3.0% or +3.1%). Consumer spending was stronger than anticipated at the start of the quarter, while business fixed investment rose more slowly than expected. Inventories rose at a faster pace, adding a full percentage point to overall growth. Government (mostly defense) remained a drag on overall growth. The PCE Price Index continued to trend far below the Fed’s 2% target (suggesting little need for the Fed to taper its rate of asset purchases).

Earnings reports were mixed, but generally with some caution in the forward outlooks. Relatively slow global growth isn’t going to help and fiscal policy has dampened the outlook domestically. «Read the rest of this article»

Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 21st, 2013

By Frazier Allen | April 21, 2013 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The terrorist bombing at the Boston Marathon and news of ricin-laced letters mailed to elected officials did not appear to have a major impact on the financial markets, but they certainly didn’t help. The major stock market averages were volatile. Bond yields remained low. Commodity prices remained under pressure.

Economic data were mixed, but generally weak. The Fed’s Beige Book noted that anecdotal reports from late February to early April were consistent with moderate economic growth. The Index of Leading Economic Indicators edged lower. Industrial production rose more than expected, but that was due to a jump in utility output (colder temperatures). Factory output fell modestly in March, with strength in autos, but weak otherwise. Seasonal adjustment led to a drop in gasoline prices, pushing the headline Consumer Price Index lower in March, while core inflation rose modestly. «Read the rest of this article»

Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 14th, 2013

By Frazier Allen | April 14, 2013 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

The economic data were mixed. However, the key release, the retail sales report, disappointed. Retail sales fell more than expected in March, while figures for January and February were revised lower. Recall that the February personal income and spending numbers, released on Good Friday, pointed to a much better growth rate in consumer spending than had been anticipated earlier.

The retail sales report, in turn, should dampen the 1Q13 GDP outlook to some extent and reduce GDP projections for 2Q13. Consumer sentiment fell in the mid-month assessment. Jobless claims fell back, after having risen in the two previous weeks, suggesting that the recent moves merely reflecting some noise in the data. «Read the rest of this article»
