DJ-BTMU U.S. Business Barometer up by 0.6%
For the week ending January 30, 2010, the DJ-BTMU U.S. Business Barometer rose +0.6 percent following a drop of -0.4 percent in the prior week. Ninety percent of the barometer’s components were up in the latest week with only a decline in box office receipts weighing. The popular movie, Avatar, appears to be leaving a vacuum as its viewership reaches attrition. We are now one-third through the first quarter of the year and the barometer, while still growing, has slowed from the torrid pace set in the final quarter of 2009.
