Leading economic indicators signal growth but revisions cloud view
The Commerce Department reports November leading indicators up 1 percent marking a second straight gain signaling improved growth ahead. Revisions show July to September declines, with economists noting a three month downturn could hint at a recession. The November rise was driven by job layoffs improving to 1.3 percent and gains in work week, orders, building permits, liquidity, and prices. Coincident indicators rose 1.1 percent while lagging indicators fell 0.4 percent.
