WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. index of leading economic indicators fell a worse-than-expected 0.5% in April, the Conference Board said Thursday.
"The data may be pointing to slower economic conditions this summer," said Ken Goldstein, an economist for the research group.
Economists had expected the index to fall 0.2%, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.
Seven of the 10 indicators declined in April, starting with building permit and jobless claims. The only two gainers were stock prices and money supply.
The coincident index rose 0.2% in April and the lagging index also rose 0.2%.
