Key Market Indicators - September 30th 2016
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. This will explain the difference between our view of the present situation which is subjective and our analysis of trends which is based on the latest facts available. At the end of September we see that the present situation has been improving since February. Trends improved from December last year through May, then reversed course and have now deteriorated for four straight months. It is quite common for these two attributes to move in opposite directions as trends tend to lead the present situation by about four months.
The total number of indicators considered in this analysis is currently 36.
