El Conference Board publicó ayer el índice de indicadores adelantados de junio, nuevamente registraron un descenso y de cierta importancia al caer un -0.3% incluso a pesar de la gran fortaleza mostrada por uno de sus componentes en los últimos meses, las bolsas. Vean comentario de Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators del Conference Board. “For a second month in a row, the stock price rally was the main support of the LEI. But this was not enough to offset still very low consumer expectations, weak new orders in manufacturing, and a third consecutive month of rising initial claims for unemployment insurance. In addition, the LEI’s six-month growth rate weakened, while the diffusion index over the past six months remained below 50, triggering the recession signal for a third consecutive month. At this point, The Conference Board does not forecast a recession, although economic growth is expected to slow substantially in 2025 compared to 2024. Real GDP is projected to grow by 1.6% this year, with the impact of tariffs becoming more apparent in H2 as consumer spending slows due to higher prices.” El desglose de componentes del índice de indicadores adelantados (y coincidentes) refleja el aporte positivo
