Oreninc Index Rebounds
The Oreninc Index rebounded to its highest level in 13 weeks for the week ending November 7, 2013. Total dollars announced jumped to $260.7m, $181.1m of that brokered on six deals. Total deals also jumped up to 44, an 11-week high. These numbers eclipse even the performance of two weeks ago, which was previously one of the better-performing weeks since last winter. It is encouraging to have two out of three good weeks; still, there will need to be a couple more like this before we can even get close to where we were last year.
