Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of May 29th, 2017
May 29, 2018
Clarksville, TN – Next week, a number of important economic data reports will arrive, but the focus is expected to be on the May employment figures. Recent labor market data suggest that the tight job market has grown tighter still.
Over the next several months, the pace of job growth is expected to be restrained by a lack of qualified workers. The unemployment rate is likely to remain low (it was 3.9% in April).

Clarksville, TN – Hilltop Supermarket hosted its 23rd annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 31st, 2018 with food, face painting, inflatables, games, and one of the biggest egg hunts in town.
“This has been going on since I was a little kid,” Cody Jackson said. “We put out somewhere between 10,000 and 11,000 eggs this year. But, it may be even more than 11,000, we lost count.”
Jackson says it takes a while to put that many eggs out, but they’re all gone in a matter of minutes.
Hilltop Market hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt, this year with more than 10,000 eggs placed on the lawn.

Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of December 31st, 2017
December 31, 2017
Clarksville, TN – Next week, the ISM surveys have some market-moving potential and we should receive anecdotal information on the strength of holiday sales, but the focus is expected to be on the employment figures.
Seasonal adjustment is a bit quirky in December and can easily magnify the normal statistical noise in the job market figures (as a reminder, the monthly change in nonfarm payrolls is reported accurate to ±120,000 and the unemployment rate is reported accurate to ±0.2%). Market participants are likely to focus on average hourly earnings, which can be noisy.

Clarksville, TN – As expected, the Fed raised short-term interest rates for the third time in 2017 (market participants were more focused on the progress of tax legislation).
The dots in the dot plot did not shift much from where they were in September and were all over the place for the end of 2018 and 2019 – meaning that there is no clear consensus on the pace of policy action (and bear in mind that personnel changes mean that many of these dots will be replaced in 2018).

Clarksville, TN – Next week, the economic calendar picks back up and the Senate returns to work on its version of a tax-cut bill.
However, the focus is expected to be on Jay Powell’s Fed chair nomination hearing. Powell is unlikely to speak about the near-term policy outlook (what the Fed will do in December), but lawmakers will ask about his broader approach to monetary policy and banking regulation (expect vigorous questioning from Senator Warren, but he should eventually receive approval in a full Senate vote).
