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. Please refer to Table 1 for the view of the present situation and the quantitative measure of trends. The present situation of twelve of the indicators based on historical standards was positive on February 27th, an increase of one from last month’s analysis. Demand for commercial and industrial loans, as reported by the Federal Reserve Senior Loan Officer Survey, improved from both large and small firms. Thirteen were negative, which was no change from last month.
