Brief: UNLV's index stumbles a bit

UNLV's Center for Business and Economic Research said eight of the index's 10 indicators contributed negatively to the index. The biggest declines were in commercial and residential construction.

The index is a forecast for the economy in February 1999 based on data from August.

"All in all, the index gives no clear signal of expansion or contraction -- caution remains the clear signal," the Center for Business and Economic Research said.
