Economic uncertainty leading to a steep drop in US industry

Date: 15 May

The US saw the largest forecast downgrade in our most recent industrial update. Policy uncertainty and financial market volatility are expected to weigh heavily on business investment, particularly in equipment and structures. In addition, the tariffs are expected to lead to a sharp increase in goods prices and import costs for US manufacturers. In the Webinar, Matthew Martin and Nico Palesch discuss the latest US macroeconomic forecast and the impact on US industry, tech, and construction.
