Unusual Economic Indicators : You might have heard about indicators like the Big Mac Index (if you haven’t, you can read our previous article). Today, we’ll introduce you to some unusual economic indicators that might predict the economic conditions. Most Unusual Economic Indicators 1. What is it? What is the proof?
Economic indicators across consumption, income, industry and the labor market don’t point to a recession. Let’s Call It Like It Is: The Economy Is Strong, and There’s No Recession on the Horizon A year ago, a Bloomberg Economics model projected a recession within the next 12 months with 100% probability. in the third quarter.
Q2 GDP Growth Confirms Economic Resilience The economy grew at an annualized pace of 2.8% It’s a very solid, but not spectacular, number, just in the top half of all quarters since 2010, but looking at it in the context of the rate environment shows just how resilient the economy has been.
The late week rebound was supported by better economic data, including some good jobs-related numbers. But as the week progressed things calmed down and better economic data showed fears of a recession were once again overblown. 2010 had a European banking crisis. What a Week What a week!
While the GDP number for the first quarter disappointed, strength was evident beneath the surface. The weakest numbers were in areas that are volatile and tend to reverse, such as inventories and net exports. The core numbers were solid again and didn’t change our basic outlook for the rest of the year. in the first quarter.
Coming off the blowout jobs report and the debt ceiling agreement, last week was a slower week for economic data. Given the Fed’s guidance, we expect them to hold rates unchanged on Wednesday, but retain a hawkish bias which opens the door to a July rate hike if economic activity and namely inflation do not cool sufficiently.
We didn’t even see significant revisions to March and April payroll numbers, and the 3-month average now sits at 249,000. The payroll number comes from the “establishment survey,” which is a survey of about 119,000 businesses and government agencies (about 629,000 worksites). Well, the May payroll report upended that narrative.
While these exciting new developments garner a lot of attention, there are a number of other secular growth stories that, for investors, are equally worthy of attention. per annum with growth every single year regardless of economic circumstances.
Economic data remains supportive, according to the Carson Leading Economic Indicator, which is pointing to above-trend growth. The “soft” GDP number hid underlying strength, as most of the weakness was in the numbers that tend not to persist, and the payroll report was quite positive even if it missed expectations.
In 2022, positive economic data typically led to a sell-off in the stock market, and weak data often led to a rally. Strong economic growth and better data should be viewed positively, as it shows the economy isn’t falling into a recession. That’s well above the 2010-2019 average of 2.4% And that is what is happening now.
Goldilocks Job Numbers as Economy Powers Ahead The December payroll report was strong on the surface, with 216,000 jobs created last month and the unemployment rate firm at 3.7%. In fact, the average annual number of jobs gained from 2010-2019 was 2.2 Another 20% gain is possible, however, as it has happened before four times.
Source: Trading Economics Employment Strength Continues : The labor picture remains strong, as well. remains near record lows, the number of employed persons paints a similarly strong picture. As you can see, employment was on a tear pre-COVID, adding about 20 million jobs from 2010 to 2020. growth rate (see chart below).
Nifty 50 first hit 10,000 on July 26, 2017, and it took more than 21 years to double that number. For many people, 20,000 is not just a number; but happiness for many. The Ripple effect saw the market fall a number of times in 2008. Investors saw Modi as a leader who would drive economic reforms aggressively.
The third quarter’s blockbuster productivity data follows a hot number from the prior quarter, when productivity rose 3.5% (annualized). annual pace, which is faster than the 2010-2019 pace of 1.2%. Fed members have watched inflation fall over the past year even as real economic growth has accelerated and unemployment has stayed low.
And if you’re able to do that in a diverse number of markets and asset classes, while managing risk in the markets that aren’t trending, you know, that’s in general how trend following works. How do you contextualize the economic data and the broad stamp recession when you’re thinking about managing risk?
And so, coming out of school, I studied Economics and Spanish Literature, and I applied to a — a program that actually targeted Liberal Arts majors.

If there’s one thing we know about economics (and it applies much more broadly, of course), it’s that incentives work. miles per hour over the last 20 years, and the number of pitches over 100 miles per hour increased from 214 in 2008 to more than 3,300 in 2024.

If tech is removed from the equation, those numbers are estimated to drop approximately three points, putting stocks right in line with historical averages.

Equities closed out April in strong form amid better-than-expected earnings and resilient economic data.

The housing market is showing signs of recovery.
Between 1980 and 2010, there were five recessions, and each was preceded by a huge decline in single-family housing starts. The number of permits reflects new housing units and is a leading indicator of future supply. These numbers are typical of an economy emerging from a recession. Single-family starts surged 19% in May.
Since the 2008–09 credit crisis, market sentiment on European stocks has shifted back and forth, from despair to confidence, depending largely on sentiment regarding the EU’s prospects as a viable political and economic entity.

There are many ways to illustrate volatility, but one of the simplest is to add up the number of days in which a market moves up or down by more than a certain amount over a defined period of time.
