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 the Doug Short site’s ECRI update post of March 13, 2020 titled “ECRI Weekly Leading Index Update.” These charts are on a weekly basis through the March 13, 2020 release, indicating data through March 6, 2020.
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:

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.
