ARLINGTON, VA – The four-to-five-week and 12-month average index were flat in April, says the ECA.
The ECA notes that March is usually a slow month, but April usually results in a comeback, as the marketplace prepares for its normal second-half acceleration.
"While the market could still pick up in the second quarter, forecasters are predicting that growth will slow in 2007," the ECA says.
"All the indicators seem to be in agreement," says ECA president Bob Willis. "Any growth...is positive, but right now expectations in the industry are a bit lower than in recent years."
