After an unprecedented five-year run-up resulting in consistent record highs, industrial commodity prices have tumbled since mid-summer. The declines are broad based with major corrections in energy, metals, chemicals, and packaging materials. IHS Global Insight expects this price correction to continue into 2009, as global economic fundamentals and demand weaken further. How low will prices go? Will your suppliers be able to stem the free fall through an effective supply management strategy? What warning signs will signal a pending price rebound? Join IHS Global Insight's Industry Practice experts on our next Webcast for a discussion of these questions, focusing explicitly on steel, nonferrous metals, plastic resins, and key packaging materials such as kraft linerboard.
