Publishing frequency: Monthly Author: CHR Economics Report Size: 8-10 pages Report Format: PDF Language available: English
Steel Business Briefing, together with the specialized consultancy CHR Economics, brings you this new monthly report which analyzes global industrial production.
In uncertain times, economists usually regard the index of industrial production as the true barometer of economic activity. This is the volume (units) of critical items, such as the number of tonnes of rebar, cement bags, kilowatts of electricity or cubic meters of gas, to just name a few, that an economy produces.
A monthly review of industrial production covering all major industrial economies around the world:
Analysis of latest industrial production data covering 49 countries
Commentary on major leading indicators and confidence surveys
Extended commentary covering developments in China
Identification of cycle turning points
Concise, consistent and current
In April 2008, CHR Economics accurately predicted the slow down and a creeping recession we all experienced since July 2008. Today, the same researchers and analysts, in the attached report, see a turnaround, most notably in Asia. They predict a slow recovery is underway.
Global IP Watch has been designed to provide producers and consumers of industrial raw materials with an up-to-date assessment of industrial activity around the world. By focussing on the latest data, readers are alerted immediately to changes in sentiment and rates of growth, pinpointing turning points in the industrial business cycle. While medium to longer-term forecasts are modelled on developments observed in earlier cycles, it is recognised that each cycle has its own characteristics. By closely monitoring the key factors influencing growth, it is possible to modify forecasts in a timely manner providing the earliest possible warning of changes in the rate of global growth.
While covering global economic developments CHR Economics takes a particular interest in the Chinese industrial economy. It has derived its own seasonal adjustment factors for China which provide insight into the actual pace of growth month on month which is not always apparent in the year-on-year data released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics.
