ISM-Twin Cities July Professional Development Meeting - Budgeting for 2026 in times of uncertainty: forecasting commodity prices in an era of tariffs
Presentation Overview:
· As 2026 draws near, buyers must create Procurement teams, begin creating budgets and need objective pricing as a basis. In this presentation, John Anton of S&P’s Market Intelligence will provide a forecast of key supply chain commodities including energy prices, major metals (steel, aluminum, and copper), and plastic feedstocks.
· The analysis starts with overall economic conditions and the expectations for key end-markets and melds the demand side with forecast of production. The current and expected tariff movement will also be discussed.
· The goal of the presentation is to give you definitive figures to plan your 2026 budget, and to discuss risk both positive and negative.
Note: A meeting link will be sent to all registrants the day before the meeting.
