Second, CFO economic confidence rose in the latest Duke survey despite heightened concerns about monetary policy. Third, Energy revisions trends continue to improve but are getting close to historical highs. That’s a negative data point for the broader market, but some of the other updates from our high-frequency indicators admittedly lend more support to US equities.
