Since the index represents weighted mean value of above-listed indicators, it is considered that it can forecast economic tendency of the state for half of year in advance. 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.
Stochastic oscillator – is a technical indicator designed by the president of "Investment Educators" corporation George C. Lane in the end of 1950-s. Stochastic estimates market momentum and shows position of present price against price range (between High and Low) for a definite time period. It is measured in per cent from 0 to 100. According to George C. Lane, “doesn't follow price, it doesn't follow volume or anything like that. It follows the speed or the momentum of price. As a rule, the momentum changes direction before price.”
