Actual, forecast, and previous values were not provided.Definition: Leading indicators are metrics that enable forward-looking predictions of economic trends. Fluctuations in these indicators subsequently influence the development of economic conditions. Common examples include unemployment insurance claims, money supply, average weekly working hours, new housing starts, and stock market indices. The composite leading indicator is a weighted average of 10 key economic data points used to forecast near-term economic performance. Typically, this index declines ahead of an economic contraction, which is negative for the Swiss franc; conversely, it rises before an economic expansion, supporting the Swiss franc.This indicator is rated at importance level 3. Its statistical methodology is based on 12 economic data series and measures overall economic conditions. It is released monthly, with the next publication date not provided.
