Leading Economic Index Suggests U.S. Recession Fears Receding The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index, a predictor of future economic conditions, has decreased by 0.4% to a score of 102.7 in January, reaching its lowest point since the initial COVID-19 lockdowns in April 2020. Despite this being the 23rd consecutive month of decline, the rate of decrease has notably slowed, and the majority of the index’s ten components are now indicating positive signs. Now, for the first time since summer 2022, the Conference Board says the United States is not on the verge of a recession. This shift in outlook, amidst a long period of downward trends, suggests a potentially more stable economic future than previously anticipated. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Prices May Hit $3,000 by Late 2025, Says BofA READ MORE Nasdaq Breaks 17,000 Mark, S&P 500 Slightly Up, Dow Drops Amid Rising Yields READ MORE All Eyes on the Federal Reserve: What To Know This Week READ MORE Central Banks' Gold Rush Propels Prices to Unprecedented Levels READ MORE Dramatic Fluctuations for Yen as It Struggles Against Dollar Surge READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
