CEOs’ concern about a Fed-led recession grew this month after Fed Chair Powell’s remarks to Congress, despite their stable rating of current business conditions. Still, most business chiefs still expect a soft landing.
CEOs are encouraged by the recovering market and easing inflation but remain concerned about a possible Fed-led recession. Just like last month.
Chief Executive’s latest poll finds more CEOs planning to increase prices now than six months ago, but most price hikes will be lower than before.
The highest proportion of CEOs since April 2021 is now predicting the business climate will improve over the course of the year.
Dow 36,000? Inflation calming? End of conflict in the Ukraine? DeSantis as front runner? We asked America’s CEOs for their best predictions about the coming year. Here’s what they foresee.
In December 2021, Chief Executive surveyed 150 CEOs from around the country on their predictions for 2022. Then came a war, record-high inflation and a recession. How did the predictions hold up?
Our latest polling finds CEOs looking forward to an economic recovery by the end of 2023—even if it’s a rough road to get there.
After surging in August on a wave of optimism, Chief Executive’s CEO Confidence Index has been receding for the past two months, as CEOs look for clear signs ahead.
CEO confidence in business conditions 12 months out declined in October, giving back all of September’s gains when a stock market rally had given hope the Fed would moderate its tightening.
After months of continuous decline, Chief Executive’s leading indicator of CEO sentiment rose for a second consecutive month in September—adding another 2 percent to August’s 14 percent rebound.
