Conference Board Leading Economic Indicator Index…. Up.

Jobless claims…. Down (which is good).

Early signs that US economy is starting to slow down. Mortgages applications down 5%. Durable orders down .6%. Pending home sales down .5%, crude inventories down 10 million barrels and oil prices are rising quickly.
