Our Economic Indicator Diffusion Index measures the pace at which economic indicators are coming in ahead of (or below) consensus economist estimates over a 50-day period, and it provides a nice illustration of how the economy is playing out compared to expectations.  Positive readings indicate an economy surprising to the upside, while negative readings are representative of an economy failing to live up to expectations.
