Trade Slowdown Signals Moderation In 1983 Recovery
The Commerce Department reports a 0.4 percent drop in the Index of Leading Economic Indicators for November, first decline since Aug 1982, while imports narrow the trade deficit to 7.4 billion. Economists say the dip confirms a slower, sustainable expansion, with October revised up to 1.4 percent. Additional notes include Ecuador’s planned 70 cent per barrel oil price cut and a Warner-BHC deal involving 19 percent voting power in Warner stock for 300 million dollars.
