United States NFIB Business Optimism Index
Approximately 620 NFIB members are questioned in a survey to generate the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index in the United States. The index is composed of ten seasonally adjusted components. Plans to increase employment, plans to make capital expenditures, plans to increase inventory, expectations of an improving economy, expectations of higher real sales, current inventory, current job openings, expected credit conditions, whether now is a good time to expand, and earnings trend are some of the questions on the list.
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.
