The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

Same old story. The economic data reports remained consistent with a near-term slowdown in the pace of growth, but not a double dip. The estimate of second-quarter 2010 real gross domestic product (GDP) growth was revised to 1.7% (compared to 1.6% in the second estimate and 2.4% in the advance estimate). Personal income rose 0.5% in August – more than expected – but was boosted partly by the extension of unemployment insurance benefits. Consumer spending rose 0.4% (up 0.2%, adjusting for inflation – about a 2% annual rate in the third quarter of 2010). The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Index slowed about as anticipated in September.
We have two new Federal Reserve governors: Janet Yellen (appointed vice chair of the Fed) and Sarah Bloom Raskin. The Wall Street Journal reported that Fed officials are considering smaller-scale quantitative easing. During the financial crisis, the Fed announced large-scale plans to purchase mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries over a period of months. Instead, the Fed may now announce smaller purchases over a month or so. This would give the Fed greater flexibility in monetary policy accommodation, and it presumably would be easier to get some of the more moderate Fed officials to go along. However, the Fed has not made any decisions on whether to increase its purchases of long-term securities. [Read more]
