According to DataTrack data, the "Sales, Orders, and Inventories" sub-index of the US Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) dropped to 0.0 in August 2026, slowing down from the previous value of 0.02. Although external market data differs slightly, the overall trend shows that the contribution of this sub-index has fallen to zero. Coupled with the overall CFNAI turning negative, this reflects a mild cooling of US economic growth.
