United States Chicago Fed National Activity Index
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) is a measure of overall economic activity and inflationary pressure. Based on a weighted average of 85 monthly measures of national economic activity, the CFNAI calculates national economic activity. It averages zero and has a standard deviation of one. Due to the fact that economic activity tends to grow at a trend rate over time, a positive reading indicates growth above the trend and a negative reading indicates growth below the trend.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
