A leading economic indicator fell to its lowest level in 28 months, as signs point to a recession later this year.

The latest Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) report, published on April 20, fell 1.2 percent in March, for the twelfth month in a row, higher than The Wall Street Journal’s estimate of a 0.7 percent drop.
