The Creighton University Mid-America Business Conditions Index, a leading economic indicator for the nine-state region stretching from Minnesota to Arkansas, remained above the 50.0 growth neutral threshold for a sixth straight month. The index declined to 50.7 from 51.0 in May. “The Creighton survey continues to record job losses with accompanying higher wholesale inflation. Supply managers remain concerned that rising tariffs will push inflation significantly higher,” said Dr. Ernie Goss, director of Creighton’s Economic Forecasting Group.
