-- An index of U.S. leading indicators rose in July by the most in four months, as stronger job growth helps power the world’s largest economy.
The Conference Board’s index of U.S. leading indicators, a gauge of the outlook for the next three to six months, climbed 0.9 percent after a 0.6 percent gain in June, the New York-based group said today. The median forecast of 49 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.6 percent advance.
