Latest data released by NFIB - 14 August 2018

This is an index which measures the opinion of small businesses on the economic conditions in the country. The data was scheduled to be released at the top of the hour but the source website has already released the report. The details can be found here.

It's the second highest reading in the survey's 45-year history as small business owners continue to feel optimistic about the sector and business conditions. The reading here is just shy of the 108.0 level recorded back in July 1983.

Not a major data point by any means, but not one to cause any problems for the dollar either.
