My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha.
All of the high frequency data that I gather in those posts comes from the Fed or its regional banks, the States, or private firms. That means it is almost completely unaffected by the federal government shutdown, and can be continually updated for as long as the shutdown lasts.
While the majority of the short leading and coincident data in the set continues to indicate expansion, there are underlying signs of increasing weakness, masked by a declining US$ and increased spending by the top income brackets.
As usual, clicking over and reading will bring you up to the virtual moment as to the state of the economy, and reward me a little bit for my efforts.
