Comerica Bank’s California Index Ticked Higher

DALLAS, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Comerica Bank’s California Economic Activity Index increased in October to a level of 101.0. October’s reading is 12 percent above the historical low of 90.3. The index averaged 124.4 points in 2019, 0.5 points above the average for all of 2018. September’s index reading was 97.7.

<a…

Our California Economic Activity Index improved again in October, now up for the fourth consecutive month. The index components were generally positive in October. Six of the eight components saw gains for the month including nonfarm employment, unemployment insurance claims (inverted), housing starts, house prices, the Dow Jones Technology Index and hotel occupancy. Industrial electricity demand and state total trade were both negative for the month. The October acceleration in our California Index is consistent with the delayed reopening of the state’s economy compared to other key Comerica states this fall. California’s jobs recovery rate continued to improve through November with the state regaining 46 percent of the net jobs lost this spring. However, the gains have not been evenly distributed across all sectors. Housing and healthcare related sectors appear to be leading the state’s jobs recovery, while manufacturing and education services are lagging. This data does not take into account the surge in COVID-19 cases in November and the subsequent reimplementation of strict social mitigation policies in December. Limited-to-zero ICU capacity in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California may result in longer stay at home orders for the two regions into at least mid-January. We still expect the widespread distribution of a vaccine to support stronger economic activity for the state in the second half of 2021.

The California Economic Activity Index consists of eight variables, as follows: nonfarm payroll employment, continuing claims for unemployment insurance, housing starts, house price index, industrial electricity sales, total trade, technology stock index and hotel occupancy. All data are seasonally adjusted. Nominal values have been converted to constant dollar values. Index levels are expressed in terms of three-month moving averages.

Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA) is a financial services company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and strategically aligned by three business segments: The Commercial Bank, The Retail Bank, and Wealth Management. Comerica focuses on relationships, and helping people and businesses be successful. In addition to Texas, Comerica Bank locations can be found in Arizona, California, Florida and Michigan, with select businesses operating in several other states, as well as in Canada and Mexico. Comerica reported total assets of $83.6 billion at September 30, 2020.

Comerica Bank’s Texas Index Improved

DALLAS, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Comerica Bank’s Texas Economic Activity Index increased in October to 121.1. October’s index reading was 27 percent above the index historical low of 95.5. The index averaged 139.7 points for all of 2019, 4.4 points above the average for 2018. September’s index reading was 119.0.

<a…

Our Texas Economic Activity Index improved for the fourth consecutive month in October, reflecting improving economic conditions prior to the current surge in coronavirus cases. We expect to see our state indexes cooling again in late 2020 and early 2021 as states and cities respond to critical limits on hospital capacity by tightening and extending social mitigation policies. In October, eight out of nine index components were positive including nonfarm payrolls, unemployment insurance claims (inverted), housing starts, house prices, industrial electricity demand, drilling rig count, total state trade and hotel occupancy. Only the state sales tax revenue sub-index went negative for the month. This was the third consecutive month that eight out of nine sub-indexes were positive for Texas. It is noteworthy that the rig count sub-index ended a 16 month declining streak by turning positive for October. Improving global demand helped to firm up oil prices at the end of 2020, to near $48 per barrel through December. In response, the Texas drilling rig count also firmed up through year-end. After bottoming out at 100 active rigs in mid-August, the rig count improved to 161 rigs in early January. The percentage gain in the rig count is impressive, but these are very low levels. Further, we can say that the rate of improvement in the Texas rig count eased through December. This will keep the support to the rest of the state economy from the oil industry subdued through early 2021.

The Texas Economic Activity Index consists of nine variables, as follows: nonfarm payroll employment, continuing claims for unemployment insurance, housing starts, house price index, industrial electricity sales, Texas rotary rig count, total trade, hotel occupancy and sales tax revenue. All data are seasonally adjusted. Nominal values have been converted to constant dollar values. Total index levels are expressed in terms of three-month moving averages.

Carolina Retreats purchases iconic Manteo inn

SURF CITY, N.C., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Carolina Retreats, a specialty lodging and vacation rental management company based in Surf City, North Carolina, announced the recent purchase of The Tranquil House Inn. The inn will become part of Carolina Retreats’ family of brands, which also includes Carolina Retreats Vacation Rentals, Topsail Realty Vacations, the <a target="_blank"…

Built in 1988 by developer Ray Hollowell and owned and operated for the past 27 years by The Tranquility Company and the Just family, The Tranquil House Inn is located in one of the most iconic locations in historic Manteo. Overlooking Manteo’s historic waterfront, the inn offers unobstructed direct marina views of Shallowbag Bay. The Tranquil House Inn offers 25 quaint and spacious king and queen rooms and is a 2-minute walk from Roanoke Island Festival Park, 4 miles from the North Carolina Aquarium, and within walking distance of all the world-class dining and shopping options of downtown Manteo. Carolina Retreats plans to make improvements to the overall property over time, with room upgrades and a future announcement of plans for the former 1587 restaurant space.

According to Mike Harrington, CEO & Owner of Carolina Retreats, «The Tranquil House Inn is truly one of the most iconic boutique properties on the Outer Banks. As a hospitality management provider, we felt this opportunity was just too good to pass up. It fits a niche within our company, which is offering both traditional vacation rental homes on a mostly weekly basis, and smaller, historically significant beach motel and inn properties for shorter stays and smaller traveling parties. It benefits both our guests and property owner partners in the long run, as we can reach more potential travelers that might not be thinking of renting an entire home just yet, and hopefully appeal to the next generation vacation rental guests by offering a consistent brand experience regardless of the property type they choose.»

Comerica Bank’s Michigan Index Inched Higher

DALLAS, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Comerica Bank’s Michigan Economic Activity Index increased in October to a level of 106.2. October’s reading was 22 percent higher than the historical low. The index averaged 117.9 points for all of 2019, 0.6 points below the index average for 2018. September’s index reading was 105.6.

<a…

Our Michigan economic activity index increased for the fourth consecutive month in October, reflecting improving economic conditions prior to the current surge in coronavirus cases. Ominously, the rate of improvement in the Michigan Index has declined for each of the last three months. We expect to see our state indexes cooling more in late 2020 and early 2021 as states and cities respond to critically limited hospital capacity by tightening and extending social mitigation policies. In October, we saw mixed results for Michigan. Four out of nine index components were positive including nonfarm employment, unemployment insurance claims (inverted), housing starts and house prices. The five negative components were industrial electricity demand, light vehicle production, total state trade, hotel occupancy, and sales tax revenue. While overall manufacturing conditions are improving globally, in the U.S. and in Michigan, the critical auto industry looks vulnerable to weaker sales this winter. Light vehicle production increased in November to an 11.0 million unit annual rate as sales slipped to a 15.9 million unit rate nationwide, down from 16.3 million in September and October. Surging coronavirus cases, combined with declining consumer confidence in December, may result in weaker auto sales and production this winter. Further drag may come from weaker U.S. personal income in December.

The Michigan Economic Activity Index consists of nine variables, as follows: nonfarm payroll employment, continuing claims for unemployment insurance, housing starts, house price index, industrial electricity sales, auto assemblies, total trade, hotel occupancy and sales tax revenue. All data are seasonally adjusted. Nominal values have been converted to constant dollar values. Index levels are expressed in terms of three-month moving averages.
