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 Advisor Perspectives’ ECRI update post of January 15, 2021 titled “ECRI Weekly Leading Index Update.” These charts are on a weekly basis as of the January 15, 2021 release, reflecting data through January 8, 2021.
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.:
![ECRI WLI,Gr. 16.3 Percent](https://www.economicgreenfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Dshort-1-15-21-ECRI-WLIGr.-16.3-Percent.png)

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.
