leading indicator:

An economic indicator that changes before the economy has changed.
Examples of leading indicators include production workweek, building
permits, unemployment insurance claims, money supply, inventory changes,
and stock prices. The Fed watches many of these indicators as it decides
what to do about interest rates. There are also coincident indicators,
which change about the same time as the overall economy, and lagging
indicators, which change after the overall economy, but these are of
minimal use as predictive tools.
