- The Leading Indicator of Industry Profitability rose 0.1 points in November. While it was the fourth consecutive month of gains, it was also the slowest in terms of growth.
- Of the 49 industries covered in the index, 23 recorded a decline in November. That is an increase of six from the previous month, and it is the highest this year. Although the overall outlook for industry profitability remains positive, the large number of industries posting negative near-term outlooks is reason for concern.
