Quarterly Economic Update and Market Outlook Webinar

Quarterly Economic Update and Market Outlook Webinar

Date
-

Recent economic data is providing a mixed view on the economy. Economic fundamentals continue to slow, but some indicators point to solid underlying strength. The manufacturing sectors in Europe, the U.S., and China are all signaling contraction according to their respective PMI indexes, but in China and Europe at least, things are looking less bad in recent weeks. Recession has become the base-case scenario for the U.S. and Europe, but the depth and duration of that recession is still hotly contested.   

On April 4 at 11:00 am EDT, IPC will host a free webinar, Economic Update and Market Outlook. IPC Chief Economist Shawn DuBravac will share the latest economic data, trends, risks and possible recession scenarios for 2023.

What you will learn: 

  • Review the start of 2023 and what factors have deviated from early expectations 
  • What to expect in the coming quarter in terms of growth 
  • The current outlook for inflation and what it means for interest rates 
  • The current health of the supply chain and how they might evolve in the months ahead
