Anticipating Business Cycle Changes

Conflicting trends characterized much of 2023. Some leading indicators were rising, while others remained in decline. Interest rates remained perilously high, and people tended to make a certain assumption: “If nothing bad has happened by now…”.

Join us as we look at the trends for 2024, including a weakening economy, lower inflation, and a shift in consumer spending. We will also look at key domestic and global markets. With this presentation, you will have the time to develop tactics and strategies to beat the cycle and prepare for the inevitable business cycle rise ahead. Knowing what to watch for and the probable timing of the reversal to rise will give you confidence as you lay out your plans.

Join us for the next Texas Security Bank Business Speaker Series, building better businesses through business owner education. Our guest speaker and Michael Feuz, Economist at ITR Economics.

Michael will provide economic insights to help you:

• Gain a better understanding of the dynamics unfolding as the US and global economies navigate the back side of the business cycle and the 2024 contraction as it approaches.
• Understand the essential warning signs of a cooling economic environment that you should be heeding even as the leading indicators throw mixed signals.
• Gain insights into key aspects of the broader macroeconomy, including consumer and business health, the money supply, interest rates, the labor market, and pricing trends.
• Equip yourself with pertinent Management Objectives that will help you navigate the challenges of 2024 and put your business ahead of the curve for 2025.
