Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of September 1st, 2013
September 1, 2013
Clarksville, TN – The economic data were consistent with a slowing in the rate of overall growth in July.
The estimate of second quarter growth was revised higher (to a 2.5% annual rate, vs. +1.7% in the advance estimate), but that was almost entirely due to a smaller-than-expected trade deficit (the estimate of consumer spending growth was the same and the estimate of business fixed investment was only slightly different).
Personal income and spending figures showed a poor start for the consumer in 3Q13. Durable goods orders tanked in July, reflecting a drop in aircraft orders (which were strong in May and June). However, ex-transportation orders still disappointed.
