UTAH ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT |
|
Utah State Revenue Summary - First and
Second Months FY2008-09
Not Yet Available!
Source: Utah State Tax Commission, TC-23,
normally available by the 16th or so each month.

ECONOMIC NOTES: |
|
- World Business Confidence
- Global business confidence remains very low and
consistent with a global recession. U.S. businesses
are the most pessimistic, followed closely by
European and Japanese firms. Expectations
regarding the outlook six months from now plunged
last week to a new record low. Hiring intentions are
also very soft. In one hopeful sign, equipment and
software investment improved last week after falling
sharply the week before. Pricing pressures have also
abated and show few signs of this summer's record
oil and other commodity prices. The global economy
is contracting according to the survey results.
- FOMC Monetary Policy
- In an emergency move, the Federal Open Market
Committee lowered the fed funds target rate from 2%
to 1.5%, in an action coordinated with other central
banks. The statement cites weakening growth and the
intensifying turmoil in financial markets. The
statement also says that inflation should slow. The
decision was unanimous. The Fed also lowered the
discount rate 50 basis points, to 1.75%. The
emergency, coordinated rate cut is an indication of the
depths of the current crisis.
- Consumer Credit (G19)
- Total consumer credit balances fell by $7.9 billion
in August finishing at a total of $2.577 trillion. This was
by far the largest decline in the level of consumer
credit on record, although it was not the largest
percentage decline. The drop was mainly due to the
effect of extremely weak vehicle sales on nonrevolving
credit balances.
- JOLTS
- Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data
provide supporting evidence for weakness in the labor
market, which began at the beginning of this year. At
the end of August, the number of new hires stood at
4.07 million, while separations increased to 4.39
million. During the four months, separations exceed
hires in three months. Meanwhile, the level of jobs
openings fell to 3.3 million, the lowest pace since
2004.
- International Trade (FT900)
- The U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $59.1 billion in
August. The consensus had expected a similar
narrowing, to $59 billion.
- Import and Export Prices
- Import prices declined a larger than expected 3%
in September. This is the second consecutive decline
and its largest since the 2003. Import prices are
expected to moderate further as oil and other
commodity prices have fallen sharply. The moderation
in import prices is positive news on the inflation front
and will allow the Federal Open Market Committee to
take interest rates closer to 1%.
- Wholesale Trade (MWTR)
- Wholesale inventories rose by 0.8% in August,
surpassing consensus expectations, following an
upwardly revised 1.5% gain in July. Sales
unexpectedly declined by 1% in August compared with
a downwardly revised -0.8% decline in July. The
inventory-to-sales ratio rose by two-hundredths of a
point from an upwardly revised 1.08 to 1.10 in August
- Jobless Claims
- Initial claims for unemployment insurance
decreased 20,000 to 478,000 for the week ending
October 4. This was below our expectations. Still-
elevated and indicative of a weak labor market, claims
are coming down from their peak as the effects of
recent storms wane.
- Pending Home Sales
- The pending home sales index surged 7.4% in
August to 93.4. The level of pending home sales in
July was revised higher as well. This increase
exceeded our expectations for a 2.5% decline. The
index in August stood at its highest level in more than
a year. The surge in the index was concentrated in the
West. The increase in pending home sales offers
evidence that buyers may be taking advantage of
falling house prices.
- MBA Mortgage Applications Survey
- The MBA market composites recovered
somewhat in the week ending October 3. The market
index increased by 2.2%, being led this week by
purchase applications as the purchase index
increased by 3.2%. The refinance index increased by
0.9%. The demand side of the market nevertheless
remains weak, as credit tightening is scaring away
most borrowers other than those who can amply meet
Fannie and Freddie lending requirements.
- Chain Store Sales
- Chain store sales rose 1.0% in September, at the
high end of the ICSC projection but well below
numbers circulating Wednesday. Gasoline prices are
supporting growth, lifting sales at warehouse clubs.
Discounters and other value-oriented retailers
outperformed as financially pressed consumers are
focusing on necessities and lower-priced goods.
- Oil and Gas Inventories
- Crude oil inventories soared by 8.1 million barrels
for the week ending October 3, according to the
Energy Information Administration. Gasoline
inventories rose sharply by 7.2 million barrels.
Distillate supplies fell by 0.5 million barrels. Refinery
operating capacity improved to 80.9% from 72.3%.
Total domestic petroleum demand fell for the fifth
consecutive week. This report is bearish.
- Natural Gas Storage Report
- Working gas in underground storage increased
by 88 billion cubic feet during the week ending
October 3, slightly above consensus expectations of
an 86 bcf build in stocks.
