ECRI Weekly Leading Index


The ECRI Weekly Leading Index (WLI) declined to 132.2 for the week ending March 7 from a downwardly revised 132.5 (previously 132.6). The smoothed, annualized growth rate was little changed, decreasing to -10.4% from an unrevised -10.5%.

This is the good news for the US, and why I believe ECRI has not called a recession.
