Pourquoi c’est important
No single statistic is reliable; a composite gives an early, smoother signal of turning points in the business cycle.
Mode de calcul
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.
Ce que signifient les variations
- 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.
Supérieur aux attentes : A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the US dollar and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Inférieur aux attentes : A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the US dollar tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Un bref historique
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.
