Por qué importa
No single statistic is reliable; a composite gives an early, smoother signal of turning points in the business cycle.
Cómo se calcula
Components such as new orders, building permits, share prices, credit and jobless claims are standardised and averaged; the index is reported as a level and a change.
Qué significan los cambios
- Several months of decline in a leading index have often preceded recessions, with false alarms.
- Markets usually react little because most components are already known.
Mayor de lo esperado: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Chilean peso and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Menor de lo esperado: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Chilean peso tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Una breve historia
Wesley Mitchell and Arthur Burns at the National Bureau of Economic Research developed leading indicators in the 1930s; the Conference Board publishes the best-known US index today.
