Here is a map of the three month change in the Philly Fed state coincident indicators. Forty states are showing increasing three month activity. The index decreased in 6 states, and was unchanged in 4.

Based on the one month data, this three month activity map be turning red again.

Here is the Philadelphia Fed state coincident index release for August.

In the past month, the indexes increased in 27 states, decreased in 16, and remained unchanged in seven for a one-month diffusion index of 22. Over the past three months, the indexes increased in 40 states, decreased in six, and remained unchanged in four (California, Iowa, Indiana, and Missouri) for a three-month diffusion index of 68.

The second graph is of the monthly Philly Fed data of the number of states with one month increasing activity.

The indexes increased in 27 states, decreased in 16, and remained unchanged in 7. Note: this graph includes states with minor increases (the Philly Fed lists as unchanged).

This is the fewest number of states showing increasing activity since January of this year.
