The Goldman Sachs Analyst Index fell below the 50 mark (more analysts see contraction than expansion) for the first time since AUG09
The Goldman Sachs Analyst Index (GSAI) fell below the 50 mark for the first time since August 2009, dropping 8.3 points to 43.3 in September.
The new orders index registered the largest decline in the history of the GSAI, plummeting 22.5 points to 28.6.
A sharp downswing in the orders vs. inventories gap, weak reports for all other component indexes, and analyst commentaries further point to a subdued growth outlook. Inflation risks remain low as price indexes dropped.
