ANOTHER ONE FOR TIM NOT HAAS
The Bush economy continues to not boom.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — A key gauge of future economic growth fell in April, suggesting a slowdown in the months ahead, a private research group said Thursday.
The Index of Leading Indicators slipped 0.5 percent in April to 137.3, more than economists’ forecasts. The decline came after a rise in March, the Conference Board said.
The leading index is 0.7 percent below its April 2006 level, the Conference Board said.
