Fundamental view
The Conference Board (CB) Leading Index will probably rise by 0.7% in April, following a 0.5% gain in the previous month.
The index of leading indicators is a composite index and is based on 10 economic indicators. It is regarded as a key element in the analytical system, which is designed to provide signals for peaks and troughs in the business cycle. Leading, coincident and lagging indicators are expressed as a weighted average of several indicators of the same kind. They are designed to summarize and reveal common points of divergence of the market model, transform data in a clear and persuasive form compared to individual components, especially as they are adjusted to remove volatility of individual components. Historically, the cyclical divergence points in the index of leading indicators appear before this happens in overall economic activity. Cyclical divergence points in the lagging economic index occur after the changes appeared in the overall economic activity. The index of leading indicators include the following indicators: average hourly wages, production, average weekly data on requests for payment of redundancy benefits, consumer goods and materials supply index, production, new orders in the manufacturing sector, goods – excluding defense, building permits, housing starts, stock prices, 500 common stocks, money supply M2, base rate bonds with a term of 10 years, except those from government stocks and index of consumer expectations. The index measures the percentage change from the previous month.
