Download the entire news release (pdf) 

11/12/2009 - OECD composite leading indicators (CLIs) for October 2009 continue to point to a recovery in OECD economies; with the CLIs for Canada, France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom pointing more strongly to recovery than in last month's assessment. Financial components (the spread of interest rates, EONIA, EURIBOR, M1) and business confidence are the main drivers to the CLI's performance in these countries. All major non member economies are in a recovery phase (the change in the outlook for China compared to last month's release is mainly due to a downward revision in the "Imports from Asia" component). etc.
