Some indicators, such as balance of trade, consumer confidence, and business confidence don't correlate strongly with changes in GDP, but indicators such as government spending and consumer spending track extremely closely, almost matching their shifts exactly. It seems that spending in general has a substantial impact on GDP (or GDP has a substantial impact on spending).
