Leading indicator
A measurable economic variable that varies
over the business cycle, reaching peaks and troughs somewhat earlier than other
macroeconomic variables such as GDP and unemployment, and therefore useful for
forecasting them. Contrasts with lagging indicator.
Leading indicator
A
change in a measurable economic factor that is evident before the economy
starts to follow a specific trend.

Economeg “rhagdalu a hwyrdalu”. Ydi hynny’n awgrymu unrhyw beth?
