About the Presentation

“Volatile” does not come close to describing the pricing environment over the last couple years, but as the US and world economies undergo slowing growth, we need to take a pause and examine what this means for commodity pricing. We will discuss the latest demand drivers behind price changes and take a deeper dive into metals, lumber, and oil and gas.

Context is everything in economics. With many commodities in deflationary territory, we will look at our forecasts for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024 to give you the upper hand on the costs of key inputs such as metals, lumber, and oil and gas. We will then examine how labor may be affecting the relationship between raw material prices and the prices of finished goods.
