Citigroup indices of economic surprise from around the world are all strongly negative, all near one or more year lows. That means that analyst expectations are way above how the data is coming in, and analysts only get surprised for so long before they adjust their expectations downwards. While these indices have been pretty accurate in the last few years, their reliability going back ten years or so is less than stellar. In particular, correlations of the S&P 500 and the CESI indices are not always compelling.
