Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of May 4th, 2014
May 4, 2014
Clarksville, TN – There were a lot of economic data reports this week. Most of them were consistent with weather-related restraint in 1Q14 and a rebound in activity into early 2Q14. Real GDP rose at a 0.1% annual rate in the advance estimate for 1Q14 – while weather was a factor, the GDP growth figure was also trimmed by a wider trade deficit and slower inventory growth.
Personal income and spending figures improved in March, with upward revisions to figures for February. Unit auto sales slowed a little in April, still well above the first quarter average.
