average annualized growth rate of 2.49%. The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily
reflected positive contributions from PCE, exports, nonresidential fixed investment, state and local
government spending, and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the
calculation of GDP, increased. Real GDP increased 3.9 percent in the second quarter, after

• 209.71: CEI in September 2015

Federal Reserve Bank of New York
A coindicent index is a single summary statistic that tracks the current state of the economy. The index is computed from a number of data series that move systematically with overall economic
conditions. A rise in the index indicates an expansion of economic activity and a decline in the index indicates a contraction in economic activity. Index is computed using data on employment, real
earnings, the unemployment rate and average weekly hours worked in manufacturing.
In September, the New York City Index of Coincident Economic Indicators (CEI) increased at an
annual rate of 4.2%, following a 4.7% increase in August. The index has risen 5.6% over the past
12 months.

17. Monthly National Housing Starts
• 1,206,000: September 2015 Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate of Housing Starts
• 1,333,000: 20-Year Average
• 986,000: 10-Year Average
U.S. Census Bureau
Housing starts reflect a seasonally adjusted annual rate. Seasonal adjustment is the process of estimating and removing seasonal effects from a time series to better reveal certain non-seasonal
features such as underlying trends and business cycles. The seasonally adjusted annual rate is the seasonally adjusted monthly value multiplied by 12. The benefit of the annual rate is that not only
can one monthly estimate be compared with another, monthly data can also be compared with an annual total. The seasonally adjusted annual rate is neither a forecast nor a projection; rather, it is
a description of the rate of housing starts in the particular month for which they are calculated.
US Housing Starts is at a current level of 1.206M, up from 1.132M last
month and up from 1.026M one year ago. This is a change of 6.54% from
last month and 17.54% from one year ago.

• 77.3: 10-Year Average Consumer Sentiment Index
University of Michigan
The Survey of Consumers is a rotating panel survey based on a nationally representative sample that gives each household in the coterminous U.S. an
equal probability of being selected. Interviews are conducted throughout the month by telephone. The survey assesses near-time consumer attitudes on
the business climate, personal finance, and spending, promotes an understanding of, and to forecast changes in, the national economy, provides a means
of incorporating empirical measures of consumer expectations into models of spending and saving behavior, gauges the economic expectations and
probable future spending behavior of the consumer, judges the consumer's level of optimism/pessimism.
The CSI is a key indicator that gauges the average US consumer's confidence level. This is an important indicator
for retailers, economists, and investors. The Sentiment Index was 87.2 in the September 2015 survey, down from
91.9 in August, but above last September’s 84.6. Stronger CSI also indicates improving incomes and positive
prospects for the economy, stimulating a strengthening US dollar, and in turn makes gold less attractive.
