Cliff Waldman, director of economic studies for the MAPI Foundation, gyides MAPI members through the contours of an unstable global economic environment. Turbulent market swings persist amidst a sluggish and uneven world growth picture. If it’s not an elevated dollar and plunging oil prices, then worries come from a dramatic fall in the Chinese stock market or a sharp downward movement in global commodity prices. All of this is generating concern about the U.S. manufacturing outlook for 2016. Unfortunately, the fundamentals of growth in parts of the world that affect manufacturing sector profitability aren’t encouraging. Even for the relatively stronger U.S. economy, there is now elevated angst about the short-term outlook. Does the persistent fall in commodity prices foreshadow something worse than global sluggishness? What is the outlook for the U.S. economy and manufacturing sector? Is the slowdown in China approaching a trough? Is there a turning point in sight for the difficult recessions in Brazil and Russia? in addition, Waldman adresses: The signals from volatile global markets. The major issues in key regions. How regions affect each other. Which metrics they should follow in key regions.
