Gardner Business Index Reading of 34.2 for April 2020
April’s reading of 34.2 signaled that overall business activity conditions continued to slow further after falling sharply in March. As expected, April’s data also indicated that the disruption to supply chains reported last month also further worsened. For a second month, new orders, production and exports activity led the Index lower. These components are considered leading indicators of the Index due to their frequent influence on backlogs and employment readings in later months.
