FYI: Small business optimism from the NFIB posted a slight increase in August, but that was still more than enough to top consensus expectations. Overall, the index of Small Business Optimism increased from 105.2 up to 105.3, and it was handily above expectations for a level of 104.8. August’s reading represents the second straight monthly increase and puts the index within 0.6 points of its post-election and cycle high.
