The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers has announced the rising tide of positive economic and financial data has seen the AGEM Index climb at a rate not seen since October 2011.

With two months of positive growth in the United States labor market, coupled with rising GDP, consumer spending and confidence, the broader equities markets took note of the encouraging recovery.

During the month of February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.5% and remained above 13,000 at the end of trading for the first time since May of 2008. Another milestone was met by the NASDAQ, which briefly reached 3,000 during the month, a level it has not seen since the tech bubble in 2000. The NASDAQ closed the month up 5.4%, while the S&P 500 posted a 4.1% gain.

For the third consecutive month, the majority of global gaming suppliers recorded a gain in their stock price. Although the overall AGEM Index has yet to recover losses witnessed in the Fall of 2011, it did grow by 3.6% during the month of February, reaching a composite score of 121.71, for a gain of 4.21 points during the shortened trading month. Compared to a year ago, the AGEM Index is up 18.0%.

Ina  press release AGEM said: “While uncertainty among elevated deficit levels still remains, a likely recession ongoing in Europe, and the long-term unemployed in the US will continue to hang over a broader recovery.”
