- The Leading Indicator of Industry Profitability Index rose 0.3 per cent in October. This marks three consecutive months of gains, as well as the largest monthly jump since February 2011.
- The upward movement indicates that the outlook for corporate profits over the next three to six months has improved. However, 16 of the 49 industries covered here saw a drop in their indexes. Thus, the positive movement in the overall index masks some vulnerabilities in a number of industries.
