If over the last three months, the index value has negative dynamic, then the conclusion about slowdown of economic development is made. The index is published monthly, during the first week, at 10:00 a.m EST (New York). Respond to published data is minor, though the index is important. Such a respond can be explained by a later publication of the index – in a month after announcing of all its components, therefore, its approximate value is already known.
