The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of September 9th, 2012
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
The economic data were mixed. The ISM Manufacturing Index disappointed in August, but the Non-Manufacturing Index was a bit stronger than expected. Unit auto sales picked up. The ADP estimate of private-sector payrolls rose by 201,000. However, the BLS nonfarm payroll figure rose 96,000 (median forecast: +135,000), with a net revision of -42,000 to the two previous months. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1% (from 8.3%), but that was due to a drop in labor force participation (I wouldn’t read much into that, it’s well within the normal range of uncertainty).
The European Central Bank unveiled its bond-buying program (dubbed Outright Monetary Transactions). The OMT is designed to address dislocations in the government bond market (that is, higher borrowing costs in Italy and Spain). It’s not monetary stimulus, but it should improve the transmission of existing monetary policy. Bond purchases will be unlimited, concentrated in maturities of three to five years, and conditional on fiscal progress. The OMT averts a near-term crisis, but doesn’t solve the region’s underlying problems. [Read more]
