Leading indicators show modest September rise
The Conference Board reports the leading economic indicators index rose 0.2 percent in September, the fifth straight gain but smaller than August and July. Five of ten components advanced while weakness in building permits and certain orders weighed on the index. Economists foresee about 2 percent annual growth in H2, with unemployment near 9 percent and recession risk cited if confidence declines.
