Corporate bankruptcies have exceeded the levels they were at in 2008. This is obviously not a good economic indicator.

The world’s corporate sector has been hit by a wave of bankruptcies occurring at a double-digit pace unseen in decades, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing data from national statistics offices.
Business insolvencies in the US saw a year-on-year surge of 30% in the 12 months through September, while in Germany, the EU’s biggest economy, the number of reported bankruptcies increased by 25% from January to September compared to the same period a year ago.
Across the EU, the number of companies going bust grew 13% in the nine months to September year-over-year, hitting an eight-year high.
In October, France, the Netherlands and Japan saw the number of bankruptcies rising by more than 30% versus the same month a year ago. The OECD group of mostly wealthy states has recently reported that in some member states, including Nordic nations Denmark, Sweden and Finland, bankruptcy rates have exceeded levels reached during the 2008 global financial crisis.
There is no good economic data to speak of. The economic data that is allegedly good appears to be based on fake or manipulated numbers. Inflation is a prime example of this.
