Indications From The Conference Board

Like much of the world steeped in data, markets, and forecasting, The Conference Board is still unpacking the lessons and effects of Donald Trump's remarkable upset victory in the U.S. Presidential election. More importantly, our global team of economists and experts is turning to the road ahead, just as we did after this year's shock Brexit result, which—as President-Elect Trump predicted—so presaged the events of last week. In this special episode of Indications, we bring you a conversation recorded for our members the morning of November 10, some 36 hours after election night. It touches on trade, taxes, the federal budget, and global implications, with reaction on the ground from New York, D.C., Brussels, Beijing, and beyond. We'll be back for Indications 3 later this week with more analysis of where Trump won his vote and what that tells us about the American and global economy.
