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?

This series updates members on the economic developments that affect the industrial metals sector. As we head into the year, there will be a lot to cover, including:

• Potential new areas for industrial metals demand in 2026;
• Business confidence and manufacturing indictors heading into the new year;
• Recent Fed moves and where Federal Reserve policy may head in the final months of Jerome Powell’s tenure as Federal Reserve Board chair;
• Trade and tariff policy and its impact on metals demand and shipments; and
• What, if any, impact the recent federal government shutdown had on the economy and the general economic outlook for 2026.
