A NOTE ON SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT

Skillsfirst Level 5 Diploma in Financial Trading (RQF) READING ECONOMIC INDICATORS A NOTE ON SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT

“Seasonal adjustment” of economic data applies factors based on recent seasonal patterns so that indicators can be compared week-to-week and month-to-month for evidence of emerging trends. Although the seasonal adjustment process is not perfect, without it analysts would only be limited to year-to-year comparisons and unable to assess the current condition of the economy.
