CME is pleased to bring two chief economists to provide valuable insights on the economy, trade issues and consumer trends. Dr. Kevin Swift will share his expert outlook on the major economic trends that will shape the North American chemical industry. He monitors the business of chemistry which is the building block for everything around us, supporting almost 25 percent of the US GDP. It is vital to continued job creation in manufacturing.

Kathy Bostjancic, the U.S. Chief Financial Economist at Oxford Economics, will provide assessments of macroeconomic forecasts and analyses on the financial markets, present the economic outlook and market implications to U.S. asset managers and strategists, and cover the evolving economic issues and growth opportunities. We look forward to learning the two expert views on the economy.
