Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of March 31st, 2013
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
The economic data were mixed. Third quarter GDP growth rose at a 0.4% annual rate in 4Q12 (vs. +0.1% in the 2nd estimate and -0.1% in the advance estimate), but consumer spending growth was revised down (suggesting less momentum into 1Q13). Consumer confidence fell in March, with a sharp drop in expectations (which are thought to be a factor in big-ticket purchases). Durable goods orders jumped, reflecting a rebound in aircraft, but were mixed and generally soft otherwise. Home prices continued to rise. Weekly claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly, which could signal a lagged impact from the payroll tax increase and higher gasoline prices, but it’s only one week.
The Dutch finance minister said that the Cyprus bank bailout could serve as a model for other countries, although he tried to walk those comments back shortly after. Most observers see the Cypriot bailout as a disaster and are now looking at the possibility of similar debacles in the smaller eurozone countries (Malta, Slovenia, perhaps even Luxembourg with its outsized banking industry). It’s going to be another long year for Europe. [Read more]

APSU’s 52nd annual Mid-South Jazz Festival April 3rd-6th
Clarksville, TN – In 2011, the New York Times published a review of a new jazz album, “Dawn of Goodbye,” by a trumpeter named Dominick Farinacci. The album cover, printed with the article, showed a black and white image of a handsome, but very young-looking, 28-year-old musician. That picture caused some jazz aficionados to assume the album was the work of a novice. The Times review intended to correct that misconception.
“Mr. Farinacci plays beautifully, with expressive control, throughout a program of love-haunted standards and compatible originals, including his yearning title track,” the review stated. “His phrasing attests to some close study of Miles Davis and Clifford Brown, but avoids outright imitation.”
