Keybridge Quarterly Economic Update

April 23, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CDT

Are you in sales, purchasing, forecasting, or the C-suite? Or just wondering where the industrial metals industry, end use markets, and the U.S. economy are headed?

Then join MSCI’s quarterly webinar with economists Jeff Jensen and Katie Archer for MSCI’s quarterly Keybridge Economic Update!

This series updates members on the economic developments that affect the industrial metals sector. There will be a lot to cover, including:

  • Re-benchmarking of MSCI’s Metals Activity Report and how MSCI’s other industry intelligence reports can help your company predict industrial metals demand;
  • Where business confidence and manufacturing indicators are after the first quarter;
  • Recent Fed moves and where Federal Reserve policy may head after Jerome Powell’s tenure as Federal Reserve Board chair comes to an end;
  • Trade and tariff policy and its impact on metals demand and shipments; and more.
