Description: Markets crave rules-of-thumb for quick buy or sell directions. But rules-of-thumb don't always work. There is no substitute for being knowledgeable about the true content of each month's economic news. Handbook of key Economic Indicators focuses on the nonfinancial economic indicators most closely followed by financial markets, concentrating on those that can move financial markets on a regular basis, including employment; personal income, and consumer spending; monthly inflation indicators; the manufacturing sector; international trade; gross domestic product; the Commerce Department's composite indicators. For analysts and traders who need quick access to all the data relating to key economic indicators, Handbook of Key Economic Indicators is the essential resource. Here are all the definitions, illustrations, and explanations of data that were previously scattered throughout various government sources in one convenient reference. You will also find historical data to determine perspective trends for each indicator.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
