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 five, the Chicago Fed Mid-West Manufacturing Index is still on hold to enable the staff to complete a major re-vamp of the structure of their report. Please refer to Table 1 for the view of the present situation and the quantitative measure of trends. Fifteen of the present situation indicators based on historical standards were positive on September 4th and eight were negative with twelve considered to be close to the historical norm. This is an increase of two positive and a decrease of two neutral since the last publication one month ago.
