The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services
The economic data calendar was thin. The Fed’s Beige Book, the summary of anecdotal conditions from the 12 Federal Reserve districts, noted “widespread signs of a deceleration” in national economic activity (that means slower growth, not a double dip). After rising in August, claims for unemployment insurance benefits fell back to 451,000. However, it’s unclear whether August figures were distorted (possibly by classification errors related to the extension of unemployment insurance benefits) or whether the latest week was distorted (as the Labor Day holiday led to delays in state reports to the Labor Department). The trade deficit narrowed in July, after widening sharply in June.
Stock market participants were apparently encouraged by the view that the economy will likely avoid a double dip, but were not exactly ecstatic (in that growth is still expected to be subpar in the near term). Bond yields rose. Market activity was light due to the holidays (Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah). [Read more]
