Hear From A Top Industrial Metals Economist At Our 2026 Steel Conference

Whether you are wondering about metals end-use demand, international trade and tariffs’ impact on the industrial metals market, or where the North American economy is headed, register now for MSCI’s Steel Conference. Why? Because we will have a top metals economist on hand. (Cannot make it? Join the livestream of this session by clicking here.)

Jeff Jensen is a partner at Keybridge where he serves as an economic and policy advisor for small businesses, industry associations, and government agencies. Jensen has nearly 20 years of experience applying economics, data analytics, and program evaluation techniques to a wide range of public policy issues, including macroeconomic policy, federal regulatory policy, and financial sector policy. In this Steel Conference session and livestream, he will cover:

• Where business confidence and manufacturing indictors are right now;
• Recent Federal Reserve moves and where Fed policy may head after Jerome Powell’s tenure as board chair comes to an end;
• Trade and tariff policy and its impact on metals demand and shipments;
• The value of MSCI industry intelligence products and how they can help your company plant for the future; and much more.
