Tatum’s survey on economic conditions call for caution
Tatum’s survey is unique in the ability to capture opinions of CFOs, Controllers and CIOs in a broad base of industries across the country, offering a read on the pulse of the US economy. The results from recent months consistently show that Tatum’s nearly 1,000 executives across the nation see the recovery as underway, but moving at a slow pace.
A major indicator from the survey, Tatum’s Index of Business Conditions, combines elements of the past 30 days and the next 60 days into one number, summarizing our view of the current overall trend. The October 1 Index moved downward as the effect of the cautious outlook exceeded the effect of the positive past 30 days. This may prove to be just a temporary blip in an otherwise positive trend, as occurred in July. Further, despite the drop, the Index remains at the second highest level in the past two years.
A look back at the past 30 days suggests some continued progress in the recovery, while the look ahead for the next 60 days indicates a cloud of caution. The good news this month is in the outlook for employment (fewer reductions) and capital expenditures (higher commitments). The bad news is in the outlook for backlogs (lower) and financial capital markets (more challenging).
