Leading Indicators Up Slightly in April
The Conference Board said its index of leading economic indicators edged up 0.1% in April, following a 0.1% gain in March, signaling that while the economy remains sluggish, it is not coming apart. "These data certainly reflect a weak economy but not one in recession," said Ken Goldstein, labor economist at The Conference Board. The small increases in March and April, which followed five months of decline, could indicate that the economy will not weaken further. The index is designed to forecast economic activity in the next three to six months based on 10 economic components. Six of ten leading indicators rose in April, including stock prices, interest rate spreads and housing permits. Those increases offset sharp declines in average weekly hours worked and consumer spending.
