May Leading Indicators Point to Slower Growth
The Commerce Department reported a 0.2 percent May rise in the leading indicators, the weakest in a year, with April revised down to 0.9 percent. Harold Passer said the modest gain does not negate the long upward trend since 1970, though only eight indicators were available for May. Building permits and industrial materials prices rose, while durable goods orders, weekly unemployment claims, stock prices, and labor cost ratios fell.
