SMU Key Market Indicators
Written by Peter Wright
An explanation of the Key Indicators concept is given at the end of this piece for those readers who are unfamiliar with it.
The total number of indicators considered at present is thirty six. The present situation of eleven of the indicators based on historical standards was positive on September 22nd and thirteen were negative; this was an increase of one to both positive and negative as net imports of long products became negative and the ISM manufacturing index became positive. This is the highest number of positive indicators since this analysis was first published in March when seven indicators were positive by historical standards and fourteen were negative.
