"The Conference Board reports today that the Composite Index of Leading Economic Indicators increased 0.1 percent in April, following a 0.1 percent increase in March, and a -0.3 percent decline in February.
LEADING INDICATORS Six of the ten indicators that make up the leading index increased in April. The positive contributors — beginning with the largest positive contributor — were stock prices, interest rate spread, building permits, average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance (inverted), index of supplier deliveries (vendor performance) and manufacturers' new orders for consumer goods and materials*. The negative contributors — beginning with the largest negative contributor — were index of consumer expectations, average weekly manufacturing hours, and manufacturers' new orders for nondefense capital goods*. Real money supply* held steady in April."
Erwartet wurde ein unveränderter Index. Also, die gestiegenen Aktienkurse heben den Frühindikator, woraufhin die Aktienkurse jetzt weiter steigen. Das sieht nach einem soliden, realwirtschaftlichen Fundament für eine rosige Zukunft aus, lol.
