AEA: Macroeconomics I – Inflation and Interest Rates
Presenter: Alex Chausovsky, Vice President, Analytics & Consulting, Miller Resource Group
Zoom
The US economy is firmly on the back side of the business cycle. Further deceleration lies ahead, but the severity and longevity of the downturn is uncertain. Does a recession loom, and if so, how harshly will it affect distributors? Furthermore, inflation continues to run hot, and the Federal Reserve is determined to combat it by raising the cost of borrowing money. What is the outlook for both pricing pressures and interest rates as we look toward the remainder of 2023? Alex Chausovsky, the Vice President of Analytics and Consulting at the Miller Resource Group, will leverage more than 20 years of expertise to tackle these difficult questions to help distribution leaders get a solid footing on these macroeconomic issues. The first episode will aim to provide practical and actionable advice to distributors to help them stay ahead of the curve on inflation and interest rates.

Session 2: Macroeconomics II – Commodity and Input Prices
Presenter: Alex Chausovsky, Vice President, Analytics & Consulting, Miller Resource Group
Zoom
Volatile commodity prices made it difficult for the distribution community to predict input costs and manage budgets since the start of the pandemic. The fallout of this volatility included squeezed margins and pressured profitability for distributors across a spectrum of industries. The slowing macro economy reflects a pivotal change from the aggressive pace of business in 2021 and early 2022, with many commodities declining in price. In this episode, Alex Chausovsky will explore the factors that drive commodity and input prices. He will also discuss the current and likely future trajectory of commodities and other input costs and provide guidance on what distribution leaders need to do now to prepare their business for what’s to come.
