The US macro economy is traversing the back side of the business cycle while several industrial sectors are going through a mild recession. Aggressive interest rate policy decisions by the Fed mostly stamped out inflation, but they also stifled capital investment and borrowing costs. Now the Fed is looking to rate cuts to prevent the economy from tipping into contraction.
A visibly slowing labor market is just one of the visible cracks in the armor of consumers, with delinquency rates for credit cards and auto loans also flashing warning signs. However, leading indicators continue to support the narrative of a soft landing for the US economy.
What does all this mean for your business? This presentation will deliver practical and actionable advice designed to help business leaders plan for future economic conditions and continuously improve their organization’s strategic planning initiatives.
Learning Objectives:
- Time-sensitive economic events of concern such as inflation, interest rates, labor market conditions, consumer spending, business investment and industrial activity.
