Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of August 27th, 2017
Clarksville, TN – Next week, the economic calendar picks up, with the important figures (nonfarm payrolls, ISM manufacturing) arriving as market participants get set for the three-day weekend. Consumer confidence figures will cover the first half of the month and are therefore unlikely to reflect much of an impact from Charlottesville.
Second quarter GDP growth is likely to be revised higher in the 2nd estimate (a 2.6% pace in the advance estimate).
Frazier Allen
Nonfarm payrolls are expected to have posted a moderately strong gain in the initial estimate for August (but note that monthly figures are reported accurate to ±120.000).
The unemployment rate should be flat or slightly low.
There’s often noise in the average hourly earnings data (hence, a good chance for a surprise), but the trend is likely to remain moderate.
