Elizabeth Troval: 作为记者，我认为经济领先指标涵盖了金融状况、就业和生产等多个重要方面。这些指标共同作用，帮助我们了解经济的整体走向。 Justyna Zbinska-Lemonica: 作为经济学家，我认为领先经济指数中的每个指标都至关重要，很难说哪个更重要。例如，制造商订单减少时，他们通常会先减少工时，这可能预示着制造业的疲软，甚至在失业率上升之前就能显现出来。 John Diamond: 作为经济学家，我认为房屋建筑许可证是一个关键的领先指标。当房屋建筑许可证增加时，它预示着接下来一年的经济活动将会增加，包括木材购买、屋顶建造、物资供应和工人就业等。 Jason Schenker: 作为经济预测公司的代表，我认为关税政策带来的不确定性对经济前景产生了重大影响。关税不仅导致价格上涨，还引发了对经济增长的担忧，这使得预测经济走向变得更加困难。
