Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of August 20th, 2013
Clarksville, TN – Fed tapering concerns continued to weigh against the stock market and helped push long-term interest rate higher. There’s a growing consensus that we will see some reduction in the rate of asset purchases announced next month, but the first move may be a small one, as a compromise among divided Fed officials and as a means of testing market reactions to tapering.
The market reaction to the tapering talk is still a puzzle. Tapering is not tightening and the Fed will continue to support the recovery through its guidance on short-term interest rates. However, long-term interest rates are normally going to rise as an economic recovery progresses.
