The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of November 29th
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services
Recent data show that the U.S. economy is continuing its slow recovery as the Commerce Department revised its estimate of GDP to a 2.0% annual rate, though this was lower than the initial estimate at 2.5%. Both consumer spending and personal incomes increased in October as well, while orders for durable goods fell by 0.7%, a possible indication of tempered demand for U.S. manufactured goods from a slowing global economy.
Concerns about the debt loads of European nations that began with Greece have spread, and investors are now demanding higher yields on the obligations of much larger nations. The higher rates are seen as a sign that investors are questioning the European Union’s ability to restore confidence in its management of the debt crisis and to keep borrowing costs for major European nations from increasing to unsustainable levels.

Austin Peay State University Percussion Ensemble Holiday concert on December 2nd
Clarksville, TN – The image that comes to mind when listening to James Taylor’s version of the Christmas classic “Jingle Bells” isn’t that of a winter wonderland. Rather, you might picture yourself in a smoky bar in Memphis or New Orleans, sweating from the room’s thick, humid air.
“This is not the ‘Jingle Bells’ that you’re used to hearing,” David Steinquest, professor of music at Austin Peay State University, said. “It’s got a very bluesy kind of feel to it. It’s a whole lot different, but I think it’s fun when people get to hear these pieces they know, but they’re sort of done in a whole different way.”
