Leading Indicators
Leading indicators are measurements of economic factors that change ahead of changes in the overall economic cycle. They are used to predict changes in overall output and activity in an economy and include such things as share prices, new orders for investment goods, housing construction orders and the index of consumer confidence. Lagging indicators are economic indicators that follow a change in the economic cycle and coincident indicators change at the same time as the overall economic cycle.
