DescriptionNEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A basket of leading U.S. economic indicators rose in January, a research group said Thursday, hinting at a continuing recovery for the world's largest economy.

"The continued growth in the leading index is signaling that strong economic growth should persist in the near term," the Conference Board said.
