Few signs of it really. The leading indexes are looking ok, portending pretty much the same thing we have now, which is ok but not spectacular growth. The housing market has almost certainly peaked, and that may be bumming some people out, but it's yet to have any broader drag. It may, and so may 15 (or is it 16?) consecutive rate hikes by the Fed, but not yet. The unemployment rate is the lowest, and the capacity utilization rate the highest, they've been in 5 or 6 years.
