Dodge 12/7/2015The Dodge Momentum Index fell 3.7% in November to 119.9 (2000=100) from its October reading of 124.5. TheMomentum Index is a monthly measure of the first (or initial) report for nonresidential building projects in planning,which have been shown to lead construction spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year. Previously, the Indexhad posted large month-to-month increases in July (+4.6%) and September (+4.9%). The loss of momentum seen inOctober and again in November is returning the Index to a level that’s more consistent with the gentle upward trendin planning activity that began in 2012. The decline in November for the overall Index was the result of a 10.2% slide incommercial planning activity, while projects entering planning in the institutional sector increased by 5.3%.
