• Over the past week, the LPL Financial Current Conditions Index (CCI) slid further to 219. The path of the CCI remains consistent with continued, though sluggish, economic growth in the United States.
• This year, the CCI has echoed the spring and summer slides of 2010 and 2011, as the economy softened. The CCI has also reflected a repeat of the subsequent rebounds seen in the past two years. However, decoupling from the trends of the past couple of years, momentum has slowed in recent weeks and has returned to the lows of the summer.
