Leading Economic Indicators Down 0.1%

The Conference Board‘s index of leading economic indicators dipped 0.1 percent in June while the board’s May index was revised to include a 0.2 percent drop.

The index is considered an economic forecast. The board said the June decline is a sign that the U.S. economy could weaken further this year.

The board said the index was dragged down by real money supply, stock prices and first-time jobless benefits claims. Those negatives offset positive contributions from building permits, interest rates and supplier deliveries, the board said.
