Economic activity in the United States surged in February. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) rose to a positive 0.05, marking a stark contrast to January's -0.54. However, the more indicative three-month moving average slightly dipped to -0.18 from -0.11.
A CFNAI of zero signifies economic growth at historical trend levels.
Surged in rate of change terms. That is still a pretty feeble number.
