The leading index, which measures the future economic activity, fell to 94.9 in May from 95.9 in April. The initial score for May was 95.2.
A similar lower score was last seen in December 2012.

This was the highest since October last year, when the score was 103.9.
The lagging index came in at 104.5 in May, unchanged from April.
