Long-Term Charts Of The ECRI WLI & ECRI WLI, Gr. – July 14, 2017 Update

As I stated in my July 12, 2010 post (“ECRI WLI Growth History“):
For a variety of reasons, I am not as enamored with ECRI’s WLI and WLI Growth measures as many are. 
However, I do think the measures are important and deserve close monitoring and scrutiny.
Below are three long-term charts, from Doug Short’s ECRI update post of July 14, 2017 titled “ECRI Weekly Leading Index…”  These charts are on a weekly basis through the July 14, 2017 release, indicating data through July 7, 2017.

Here is the ECRI WLI (defined at ECRI’s glossary):

This next chart depicts, on a long-term basis, the Year-over-Year change in the 4-week moving average of the WLI:





This last chart depicts, on a long-term basis, the WLI, Gr.:

I post various economic indicators and indices because I believe they should be carefully monitored.  However, as those familiar with this site are aware, I do not necessarily agree with what they depict or imply.
