Economic and Labor Market Update – A Shift in Momentum
The US macro economy is firmly on the back side of the business cycle while several industrial sectors are traversing a mild recession. Aggressive interest rate policy decisions by the Fed mostly stamped out inflation, but they also stifled capital investment. Despite a resilient labor market, cracks are visible in the armor of US consumers, with delinquency rates for credit cards and auto loans flashing warning signs. On top of it all, it’s a presidential election year, which adds its own flavor of uncertainty.
What does all this mean for the wire industry? This presentation will deliver practical and actionable advice designed to help business leaders and key decision makers plan for future economic conditions and continuously improve their organization’s strategic planning initiatives.
