For some reason, the ECRI doesn't publish weekly press releases anymore on its Weekly Leading Index readings - although one can still get access to the weekly readings via a (free) registration.

For the week ending June 17, 2005, the Weekly Leading Index level is at 133.4 - a growth rate of 0.2% from last year. I will try to update this thread every week from now on.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

Henry

ECRI weekly leading index still pointing to subdued growth in the U.S. economy but definitely not a recession at this point:

Week ending 8/11/2006:

WLI = 135.3
Annual ROC = -1.4%

Jury still out but it looks like that the Fed paused at the "right time." Oil prices have moderated and it looks like metal prices (maybe even nickel?) will do the same.

Week ending 7/14/2006:

WLI = 136.9
Annual ROC = 0.3%

Given the above readings, and given continued increases in productivity (e.g. both HPQ and Lenovo catching up with Dell), the Fed should definitely pause on August 8th...

Week ending 7/7/2006:

WLI = 136.9
Annual ROC = 0.2%

Fed is going to be hard-pressed to justify another rate increase on August 8th. It looks like we're done here.

Week ending 6/30/2006:

WLI = 136.8
Annual ROC = 0.9%

Annual ROC again making a new low. It increasingly looks like that the Fed may stop with a Fed Funds rate of 5.25% and won't hike at the August 8th meeting.
