January 17 – The Cromford® Demand Index is losing upward momentum again, hitting its lowest point since December today. The market is well positioned but so far there has been no significant uptick in demand that would be required to push the index higher. Last year was similar. January was very lackluster, but everything changed as soon as we entered February. We don’t know if the same thing will happen this year.

As we wait for January to get behind us and for business to get back to normal after the end of year festivities, we look forward to seeing an uptick in February.
