The number had been estimated as a result of the partial federal government shutdown that delayed some data it uses.

The coincident index rose 0.1% in January, while the lagging index grew 0.4% in January.

The LEI stands at 111.3, the coincident index is at 105.7 and the lagging index is at 106.8. The LEI has a baseline of 100, which reflects the level in 2016.
