Management confidence levels appear to be trending positively. In October 2016, the Management Growth Confidence Index started to trend strongly positively for the first time in over a year, a signal confirmed in calls continuing through October 2017. While the ratio dipped in November, if the ratio recovers again in December, this would point to management teams finally growing more confident about investing.
