Key Market Indicators - November 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 November we see that the present situation which had been improving from February through October took a step back in the November data. Trends improved from December last year through May, then reversed course and deteriorated for four straight months through September before picking back up a little in October and November. 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.
