The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of November 6th, 2012
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
Superstorm Sandy delivered a hard punch to the upper mid-Atlantic states, contributing to tragic loss of life and severe property damage. Flooding in lower Manhattan led to a two-day shutdown of the NYSE. It will take some time to assess the economic effect and the impact appears likely to be much larger than initially estimated. However, it is likely to be limited relative to a $16 trillion national economy. Severe weather typically shifts some spending around and rebuilding will add to GDP growth.
The economic data remained consistent with moderate economic growth. However, the October Employment Report was much stronger than anticipated. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 171,000 (vs. a median forecast of +125,000), while figures for August and September were revised a net 84,000 higher. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9%, but that appeared to reflect statistical noise in a general downtrend. For those aged 25-55 years, labor force participation has stabilized and begun to trend higher and the employment/population ratio is much higher than a year ago (76.0%, vs. 74.8%). [Read more]
