- Signal49 Research’s Leading Indicator of Industry Profitability remained flat at 107.6 for a second month as higher commodity and equity prices offset the continued uncertainty in the labour market and weaker non-residential construction investment.
- Of the 49 industries tracked by the index, 39 saw their profitability outlook improve in June and 36 posted an increase for the second quarter as a whole. The better outlook was broad-based, with no sector suffering an overwhelmingly negative month or quarter.
