bellwether

Walmart, which brings in millions of customers each week, is a bellwether of U.S. consumer trends.

Shares in the company, a bellwether for the economy, gained in premarket trading.

That means there are no bellwether counties left in America; heading into the 2020 election there were nearly 20.

Here are a few reasons not to buy into it, and instead to embrace the state as a bellwether for the country.

UCI School of Social Ecology Dean Jon Gould said the close presidential race further cements the county’s position as a bellwether “in terms of where America is and where it’s going.”
