Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble in 2015 were negatively impacted by approximately $1.4 billion due to foreign exchange, $2.1 billion of non-cash impairment charges related to the Batteries business reported in discontinued operations and a $2.1 billion Venezuelan deconsolidation charge.

Compare this with changes in stock prices and interest rates http://www.conference-board.org/pdf_free/press/TechnicalPDF_4457_1334824007.pdf Comments: from September 2011 to Mar 2012, the US leading index has slightly increased from 93.2 to 95.7. In the same period, the Lagging index has been similarly increasing from 112.1 to 114.4. The increasing leading index shows that our economy is growing slowly but should continue with a positive economic outlook. The Lagging Index is growing too and could indicate things aren’t going well. Although with some research it is shown that unemployment is down. The reason for the slow growth in the lagging index is from commercial and industrial loans outstanding have increased. It shows the U.S. economy is growing slowly and should continue that way for the next several months. Comments: From September 2011 to March 2012, you see an increase in several major leading indicators. The average weekly claims of state unemployment insurance have vastly declined from 408.3K to 364.4K. This shows that the economy is improving with more employment available.

The labor market has been improving as well. The Eurozone is recovering on the heels of increases in private consumption and exports and growth is continuing to expand mildly. Growth in the emerging markets has been decelerating relative to the past in view of China’s structural slowdown, declining commodity prices, a downturn in foreign investment and the need to base growth on domestic demand. The developed countries’ monetary policies are likely to change direction gradually. In our judgment, the Fed will begin liftoff at a moderate pace, bringing its rate to about 1.0% by the end of 2016. Eurozone interest is unlikely to change in 2015 and 2016. Roughly Two thirds of The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G)’s revenue is from outside the United States. In fiscal 2015, net sales of all five-business segments were negatively affected by foreign currency fluctuations due to strong dollar, boosted by recovery of U.S. economy (See the...
