Three Macro Numbers That Decide Your Business's Fate Right Now

![Иллюстрация к посту](/blog/image/5254) Three Macro Numbers That Decide Your Business's Fate Right Now Saturday digest — short and to the point. Data from the last 48 hours. 1. Eurozone: PMI fell to 48.6 This is a 17-month low. Below 50 = contraction. The Eurozone is officially in recession territory. The reason is the Iran war energy shock, which has driven up energy prices. For Russian small businesses, this means: European demand for our goods is falling, competition for Asian markets is rising. 2. Input inflation — a 46-month high Producers in Europe are paying more for raw materials and energy than at any time in the last 4 years. Output prices — a 39-month record. The chain is simple: imported equipment becomes more expensive, components become more expensive, loans become more expensive. If your business relies on imports — recalculate your cost base right now. 3. Fed: BNP Paribas revised its forecast — rates may not be cut The major bank suggested that due to the inflation shock from the Iran war, the Fed may not only refrain from cutting rates but could raise them. For small businesses, this means: expensive loans will persist for a long time. The "wait it out" plan may not work. What this means for your business: If you work with imports — lock in contracts in rubles now while the ruble is strong. If your business is in manufacturing — prepare for rising costs in Q3. If in services — watch demand: when the economy contracts, clients cut outsourcing budgets first.
