Despite some encouraging signs there are still some hefty signs of trouble.  See below from Bloomberg.  Will be interesting to see how the Fed responds to the improvements vis-a-vis these other observations.  Met with our bank yesterday and their market analysis was moderately favorable but as they said, we are six years into a very weak recovery and past the average time between recessions.  Ugh!
