DJ-BTMU U.S. Business Barometer up 0.1%
For the week ending February 7, 2009, the DJ-BTMU U.S. Business Barometer increased by a tepid +0.1 percent, following a hefty drop of -1.2 percent in the prior week. Results were mixed in the latest week with an equal number of components adding to and subtracting from the barometer’s performance. We are about one-third of the way into the first quarter of the year and thus far the barometer’s weakness is matching that seen in the final quarter of 2008.
