Leading Indicators... Full Steam Ahead

Whether or not the U.S. can truly break away from European concerns is still an open question, but recent economic data points to a decreased likelihood of a double dip.

Bloomberg details:
The index of U.S. leading indicators climbed more than forecast in October, signaling the world’s largest economy will keep growing in early 2012.
The Conference Board’s gauge of the outlook for the next three to six months rose 0.9 percent, the biggest jump since February, after a 0.1 percent September increase, the New York- based research group said today. The median forecast of 56 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News projected the gauge would advance 0.6 percent.
