Elizabeth Troval: 我在研究是什么使某些经济指标成为“领先”指标，它们如何帮助我们预测经济的未来走向。 Justyna Zypinska-Lemonica: 领先经济指数中的每个指标都至关重要，例如制造业的平均工时，这可以预示制造业的潜在疲软。当制造商的订单减少时，他们通常会先减少工时，这可能在失业率上升之前就显示出制造业的疲软迹象。 John Diamond: 房屋建筑许可证是另一个重要的领先指标。获得初步许可后，通常会启动为期一年的经济活动，包括木材购买、屋顶建造以及相关物资和工人的需求。房屋建筑许可证的增加预示着这些领域的经济活动将会增加。 Jason Schenker: 初始失业救济金申请数据因其发布及时而被纳入领先经济指数。然而，关税带来的价格上涨和对经济增长的担忧，使得经济前景的中期影响存在高度不确定性。
