Q2 2026: Report Withdrawn

The Q2 2026 State of the MIKE Economy report has been withdrawn. It was published on July 4, 2026, before the quarter's own data had settled. The publication date for a second quarter report is July 15, the fifteenth of the month following the quarter's end, and the June figures the report depended on were still provisional when it shipped. June's Health Index was subsequently corrected from 108.0 to 106.0 once complete data arrived on July 22, and the Health Index itself was rebuilt as PHI 2.0 two weeks after publication. The report accumulated three dated addenda in a month: a restatement of every Health Index figure, a correction of its record claims and a year-over-year note, and a disclosure of the early release itself. At that point the corrections were carrying the document rather than annotating it, and one of its central conclusions, that the quarter was the strongest on record, had not survived. A reader could no longer read the report and come away with an accurate picture of the quarter. So it is withdrawn rather than corrected further. Nothing here is a restatement of the underlying data: the six indicator series were never withdrawn, remain published, and each carries its own revision history. What is withdrawn is this document's analysis of them. A corrected Q2 2026 report may be reissued. If it is, it will appear at a new URL with its own publication date, and this notice will link to it. The next scheduled quarterly report is Q3 2026, due October 15, 2026.
