Historic Recession Indicator Goes Wrong After 65 Years, Warning for Wall Street Still in Place

Reported 11 months ago

For the first time in 65 years, the Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) has given a false-positive reading, breaking its flawless prediction streak for U.S. recessions. While the recent year-over-year decline in LEI has now moderated, other economic indicators like a decline in M2 money supply and high stock market valuations suggest challenges for Wall Street in the future. Despite recent economic uncertainties, investors with a long-term perspective are advised to remain patient as history shows that time favors those in the stock market.
