Dow Jones ESI Hits Highest Level Since June 2008


NEW YORK, August 2, 2010 –"The Dow Jones Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) has given an upbeat signal on the economy, registering its biggest rise since October and a return to the level of June 2008.  The ESI rose to 42.3 in July (see chart above), two points higher than the 40.3 tracked in June 2010. The rise is modest, but it is an acceleration from the slender gains of recent months and implies some recent pessimism about the economy may be misplaced."
