Leading Indicators reports a composite of ten economic indicators that summarize economic activity. The economic indicators includes: new orders, jobless claims, money supply, average work week, building permits, and stock prices. Leading Indicators are very predictable due to the fact that the component indicators are previously released before the Leading Indicators are published. Raw data can be found here.
