Economic Data Table Update

I updated my economic data table for the new reports from this week. The main change was a shift in the trade deficit from “bad and deteriorating” to “bad but improving.” I also added PPI as “bad and deteriorating.”

Admittedly my characterizations are subjective and in some cases you may disagree with my classification. Feel free to offer your rating and reasoning in the comment area, and I will provide justification for my own.
