Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
“First-quarter indicators showed that while the economy has yet to roar due to all the recent fiscal stimulus, it’s at least starting to purr,” said left-of-center CNBC.
Friday’s GDP reporting “painted a somewhat positive picture. The 2.3 percent growth rate may not have looked like anything spectacular, but it was the first time the first quarter beat economist expectations since 2008, according to Bespoke Investment Group.”
The employment cost index, a metric watched at Fed, of the compensation cost for nongovernment workers was up 2.7 percent, compared with 2.4 percent a year ago.
And several tech and other earnings blowouts “pushed Q1 profit gains up to a glittering 22.9 percent, easily the best quarter in at least seven years.”
“All things considered, the economy still appears to be on a solid footing, supported by a confident consumer sector — one with an optimism that is fueled by growing income and a strong labor market and is well positioned to spend more in the coming quarters,” said Jim Baird, chief investment officer for Plante Moran Financial Advisors.
