Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 22nd, 2014
Clarksville, TN – Stock market participants seemed only mildly concerned about escalating tensions in Ukraine, but were encouraged by comments from Fed Chair Janet Yellen. Yellen suggest that the Fed would respond to significant, surprising changes in the outlook for growth, inflation expectations, or financial conditions.
Short-term interest rates aren’t going to be raised for a while, but the first increase in rates could be pushed out if the Fed remains short of its goals (full employment, 2% inflation).

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 13th, 2014
Clarksville, TN – The economic calendar was relatively thin. The Producer Price Index rose more than expected in March, reflecting a pickup in services (which had fallen in February). Details continue to suggest limited inflation pressure in the pipeline.
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data continued to suggest a large amount of slack in the job market (hiring rates and quit rates are trending flat, still low by historical standards). The IMF slightly lowered its forecast for global growth this year and next, with larger downward shifts in the outlook for Russia and Brazil.

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 6th, 2014
Clarksville, TN – The data remained consistent with a continued economic recovery. However, it’s unclear how much of the improvement is simply a rebound from bad weather and how much is underlying strength.
The monthly ISM surveys were mixed. Motor vehicle sales rebounded sharply in March (suggesting that bad weather postponed sales, just as we saw with the government shutdown in October). The March Employment Report was close to expectations.

Stocks end quarter mixed despite fewer headwinds
Clarksville, TN – March marked the fifth anniversary of the stock market’s bull run, since the bottom in the S&P 500 back in 2009. The most recent quarter was more lackluster, as U.S. stock indices were somewhat flat.
The equity markets showed some resilience during the last week of the month after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen signaled that “considerable slack” in a “tough” labor market means the central bank will continue its monetary support of the economy for some time.

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of April 3rd, 2014
Clarksville, TN – The economic data reports were mixed and mostly ignored by the financial markets. Real GDP rose at a 2.6% annual rate in the 3rd estimate for 4Q13 (vs. +2.4% in the second estimate and +3.2% in the advance estimate).
Most of the story remained that same. Government subtracted a full percentage point from overall growth, but that was offset by a narrower trade deficit (which added a percentage point).
