Sep 21: Leading Indicators Up

The Conference Boards’ Leading Indicators Index increased by 0.6% to 102.5 (2004=100), expected to increase by 0.7%, after it had increased by 0.9% in July, revised upward from a reported 0.6% increase.  This is the 5th consecutive monthly increase in the index, following a 20 month decrease since the July 2007 peak, with a trend reversal in the current upswing which began in April.  The Coincident Indicators was unchanged in August and stands at 99.8 (2004=100), following an increase of 0.1% in July.  The Lagging Indicators decreased by 0.1% to 110.2 (2004=100).  The leading indicators advancing and the coincident indicators ceasing to decline in the recent month insinuate a bottoming out.
