Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah, and Moody's Analytics' head of regional economics Adam Kamins to learn some of the secrets behind one of the nation's most successful states. From demographics to governance to the ski slopes, Natalie shares lessons learned from her decades working in and for Utah, including what to call residents of the Beehive State (hint: don't even think about adding a second “a.”).The gang also talks about newly-released third quarter GDP data and The Conference Board's most recent consumer confidence survey. Finally, Mark capitalizes on his knowledge of Cris's mannerisms to claim victory in the stats game.Guest: Natalie Gochnour, Associate Dean in the David Eccles School of Business and Director of the Kem C.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we start with news we are ending 2025 with more signs of the consequences of the Trump twist and the fading of American economic dominance. But it may not be to China where the economic power flows.This short week is critical worldwide for retail sales, but discounting early is well set in most markets so there are fears the post-holiday 'sales' could bring anticlimactic results. And it hasn't been helped by a rambling and vengeful performance by Trump in a speech pre-billed as an indicator of economic 'progress'. Markets cast a sceptical eye on it on Friday (US time) with US bond yields rising after it.This week will bring US durable goods order updates and industrial production updates in the US, more regional Fed factory surveys, and the Conference Board's survey of sentiment. None are expected to be very strong. But the 'official' update for Q3 GDP for the US is expected to show the result Trump is looking for.China will be closeted in another national party conference with economic topics high on their agenda. Japan will release a range of data expected to be mixed. There will be more data from Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. Australia has concluded its 2025 economic releases, but New Zealand will have its lending and funding data releases for November on Tuesday.Over the weekend, China released its foreign direct investment data and it turned higher in October, up a net +US$6.6 bln from September and higher than the year-ago gain of +US$6.2 bln, although that still leaves the year-to-date level -7.5% lower and extending the streak of contractions that began in May 2023. The current gains are actually tiny for a country the size of China. Later today they will review their official loan prime rates, but no changes is expected from the current record low levels.In Japan, and as clearly signaled, their central bank moved their policy rate up by +25 bps to 0.75% late on Friday. It was their second hike this year after their similar January move. Policymakers there see extended wage inflation and rising company profits. But it did point out that real interest rates remain significantly negative and that overall financial conditions are 'broadly accommodative'. Markets took these signals to be slightly more hawkish than expected and pushed the Japanese 10 year bond yield higher, to a twenty year high.Malaysia's booming economy is now drawing in imports faster than the rise in their exports, and it was barely able to post a trade surplus in November. Exports were up +7.0% from a year ago, but imports jumped at more than twice that rate, up +15.8%.In the US, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey was revised lower in December although up marginally from November's unusual low. It is however -28% lower than year-ago levels. Both measures for current conditions and expectations were revised down. Meanwhile, inflation expectations for the year-ahead were revised up to 4.2% from 4.1% in the November survey. Perceived 'affordability' issues are building.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.15%, unchanged from this time Saturday but down -5 bps from this time last week.The price of gold will start today at US$4338/oz, and down -US$13 from Saturday, but up +US$44/oz from a week ago.American oil prices are little-changed from Saturday at just on US$56.50/bbl, while the international Brent price is now just on US$60.50/bbl and up +50 USc. From a week ago these prices are down -US$1/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is unchanged from Saturday, now at just on 57.6 USc which is down -40 bps from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are also unchanged at 87.1 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 49.2 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just over 61.8, little-changed from Saturday, down -30 bps from a week ago.The bitcoin price starts today at US$88,354 and up +1.2% from this time Saturday. It is down -2.1% from this time last week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low, at just under +/- 0.8%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
In our latest episode, we tackle the pressing question: Is this the end of growth? Join us for an engaging discussion with Tony Verb, Executive Director at Carbonless Asia and Alejandro Fiorito, economist at The Conference Board, as they share insights on economic trends, investment strategies, and the role of AI in shaping the future of business.
Matt Rosenbaum from The Conference Board breaks down their AI survey data, with the majority expecting AI to improve their job, but anticipating job losses at their company. He also notes that more than half of leaders think their company lacks a coherent AI strategy. “One of the main challenges is the need to change organizations,” he says. Matt also explains why the AI skills gap is widening.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Brian Crombie is joined by Mario Lefebvre, one of Canada's most experienced economists, for a candid discussion on the biggest risk to Canada's economic future — and it isn't tariffs. With 35 years of experience, including senior roles at the Bank of Canada, Conference Board of Canada, Ivanhoé Cambridge, and now Aviseo Conseil, Mario explains how low productivity, weak business investment, and an uncompetitive tax environment are quietly undermining Canada's economy more than trade disputes or deficits. In this episode, they explore:
What is neuro-symbolic AI, and how can it help businesses generate value in new ways?

Despite the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the ramifications are still impacting the Federal Reserve as it deals with the disruptions in labor market data according to Yelena Shulyatyeva, Senior U.S. Economist for the Conference Board. Shulyatyeva thinks that despite an unclear picture, the risks in the economy are to the downside and still sees the Fed cutting rates into 2026.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Guest: Ghada Alsharif, immigration and work reporter Canada's immigration system is often praised for attracting top global talent, but a new report shows the country is losing many of the highly skilled workers it says it needs most. One in five immigrants are leaving within 25 years of arriving, with the highest exit rates among those with PhDs and professional backgrounds in health care, science, and senior management. Today on This Matters, immigration and work reporter Ghada Alsharif unpacks the findings of a major new study by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada and what it reveals about a growing crisis Canada isn't fully reckoning with: why the people we worked hardest to bring here are now walking away.

Asian stocks extended their gains into a third day, tracking advances on Wall Street as weak US consumer data lifted bets on a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut next month. MSCI's regional stock gauge rose 1.2%. Almost all of the 11 industry groups in the index advanced, with as many as three stocks gaining for every one that fell. That came after US benchmarks posted their third day of gains. Chinese equities opened steady as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. shares fell as much as 2.8% in Hong Kong trading after its earnings. For more outlook on the markets, we spoke to William Bratton, Head of Cash Equity Research for the Asia Pacific at BNP Paribas.

In Addressing Canada's Innovation Paradox, I explore the reasons why.Drawing on insights from the Conference Board of Canada, Jim Balsillie, and the Council of Canadian Innovators, this episode exposes the roots of our productivity challenge: an outdated Industrial Mindset, indirect funding models, and a failure to own and scale our intellectual property.It is time for a bold shift from an Industrial Mindset to a Knowledge Mindset - one that makes knowledge our primary commodity, not physical products and shows how Canada can become the innovator's first customer, closing the commercialization gap and keeping innovation value at home.Through real-world examples, research, and reflection, For What It's Worth re-imagines how Canada can transform from an exporter of ideas to a global leader in innovation.Blog Post for this EpisodeThe music for this episode, Rain, is performed by our current artist in residence,#TracyJones from his album #LuckyTimeYou can find out more about Tracy by visiting the Blog Post for his episodeKnowledge Management Institute of CanadaFrom those who know to those who need to knowWorkplace Innovation Network for CanadaEvery Graduate is Innovation-Enabled; Every Employee can Contribute to InnovationDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Art Rothschild Steve Giles (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (Oct. 27-31, 2025) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday An indicator of demand for manufactured products, the Commerce Department's report on durable goods orders, was unavailable because of the federal government shutdown. Tuesday Housing prices continued slowing in August, according to the S&P Cotality Case-Shiller national home price index. The measure showed a 1.5% year-to-year gain in residential prices, the lowest in more than two years and below the overall inflation rate for the fourth straight month. An S&P analyst said the housing market has been trying to find a sustainable equilibrium following its post-pandemic boom. He added, "(H)omeowners are watching their real equity erode while buyers face the dual challenge of elevated prices and high borrowing costs." The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index moved sideways in October. The index dipped slightly from September with lower expectations offsetting consumers' marginally higher opinion of the present situation. The business research group said pessimism about the future continued to suggest an impending recession for the ninth month in a row. Prices and inflation remained the top concerns among survey respondents. Mentions of tariffs declined from earlier surveys but stayed elevated. Some consumers expressed dismay about the federal government shutdown. Wednesday The National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales index was unchanged in September and down 0.9% from the year before. The trade association said lower mortgage rates and increased wealth effect – from record-high stock prices and elevated home values – could not overcome apparent softening in the job market. The pending sales index remained more than 25% below its 2001 base, which the Realtors consider a normal level of sales activity. As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered short-term lending rates by one quarter of a percentage point for the second time in six weeks. The Federal Reserve Board's policy-making body said continued consideration of slowing labor markets prompted it to loosen monetary control, though it also expressed reluctance to lower rates while inflation stayed above the long-term target of 2%. The September Consumer Price Index showed broad inflation rising at a 3% annual rate, although more complete data reports have been curtailed by the federal government shutdown. Thursday The broadest measure of U.S. economic output, the quarterly report on gross domestic product, was not available from the Bureau of Economic Analysis because of the federal government shutdown. The GDP report includes the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditure index. The Labor Department's report on initial unemployment insurance claims was not available for the fifth week in a row because of the federal government shutdown. Friday The Bureau of Economic Analysis did not release its consumer spending report for September because of the federal government shutdown. Market Closings for the Week Nasdaq – 23725, up 520 points or 2.2% Standard & Poor's 500 – 6840, up 49 points or 0.7% Dow Jones Industrial – 47563, up 356 points or 0.8% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 4.10%, down 0.10 point

The salient point of this discourse centers on the nuanced state of consumer confidence within the furniture industry, which has exhibited a modest decline while concurrently reflecting a degree of cautious optimism regarding current economic conditions. As reported, the Conference Board's index has receded slightly to 94.6, juxtaposed against a rising Present Situation index, which indicates that while consumers harbor concerns about future prospects, their perceptions of present job and business conditions remain comparatively favorable. Furthermore, the episode elucidates the pressing challenge of sustainability within the industry, as a mere 3% of consumers perceive furniture as a leader in sustainable practices, despite a significant willingness among the populace to invest in eco-friendly options, contingent upon reasonable pricing. As we delve deeper into the intricacies of market dynamics, we also examine the impact of artificial intelligence on operational efficiencies and consumer engagement strategies, underscoring the necessity for brands to communicate effectively without overwhelming their audience. Ultimately, this episode serves as a comprehensive analysis of the prevailing trends, challenges, and innovations that are shaping the contemporary landscape of the furniture sector.A comprehensive exploration of the current state of consumer confidence reveals a nuanced landscape within the furniture industry as of October 29, 2025. Despite a slight decline in the overall consumer confidence index, which fell to 94.6, there exists an intriguing dichotomy in consumer sentiment; the Present Situation index, which gauges perceptions of the economy, actually experienced a modest increase to 129.3. This juxtaposition underscores a prevailing cautious optimism among consumers regarding their current economic conditions, albeit with a palpable uncertainty regarding future economic prospects, as evidenced by the Expectations index plummeting to 71.5, signaling potential recessionary thoughts. Inflationary pressures remain a concern, with expectations rising to 5.9%, and a significant majority of consumers anticipate further increases in interest rates. This complex emotional landscape suggests that while shoppers are currently optimistic, they remain apprehensive about the sustainability of such sentiments in the face of looming economic challenges.Amidst this backdrop of consumer sentiment, the furniture industry grapples with its sustainability messaging. Recent survey findings from Provoke Insights reveal a stark reality; only a mere 3% of consumers perceive the furniture sector as one of the most sustainable industries, a stark contrast to perceptions of sustainability in sectors such as skincare and apparel. Nevertheless, the appetite for eco-friendly furniture is evident, with nearly 60% of respondents indicating a willingness to purchase sustainable options, albeit tempered by concerns over pricing and product durability. The data suggests that while there is a burgeoning interest in sustainability, the industry's challenge lies in effectively communicating its commitment to eco-friendly practices and overcoming consumer hesitations regarding cost and product information. Thus, the furniture industry stands at a crossroads, needing to bridge the gap between consumer desire for sustainability and the realities of market dynamics.Furthermore, as the episode delves into the impact of technological advancements, particularly artificial intelligence, on the furniture sector, it becomes evident that companies like Ashley Sleep are leveraging these tools to enhance operational efficiencies, from sales training to market analysis. AI's growing role in optimizing merchandising and predicting consumer preferences illustrates a significant shift towards more data-driven decision-making within the industry. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the irreplaceable value of human connection in...
The latest consumer confidence data from the Conference Board shows a 6-month low, and while it may not be as bad as expected, there's still weakness beneath the surface. Yelena Shulyatyeva joins Diane King Hall to break it down. She says the numbers mask a tale of two consumers: those making $200,000+ are driving stock market-fueled optimism, while those earning $75,000 or less are losing steam. She also warns that the labor market is showing signs of vulnerability, with jobs becoming harder to find, and that a potential tariff shock could still hit consumers during the critical holiday shopping season.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Dana Peterson from The Conference Board previews the Fed's meeting this week. She discusses the impact of missing government data and the market's expectations for a 25 basis point cut. She notes that we are in a no-hire, no-fire environment as companies struggle with uncertainty, but says that balance could change.

"This is a self-inflicted wound on our economy," says former Congressman Ron Klein. In this episode of C-Suite Perspectives, Steve Odland, CEO of The Conference Board, sits down with Klein to unpack the ongoing US government shutdown: what it really means, who it affects, and how it might end. Together, they explore the technical mechanics behind a shutdown, the political dynamics fueling it, and the ripple effects across the economy and private sector. Executives should monitor the shutdown's downstream effects on consumer confidence, supply chains, and federal partnerships.

Calculus Reordered: A History of the Big Ideas (Princeton UP, 2019) takes readers on a remarkable journey through hundreds of years to tell the story of how calculus evolved into the subject we know today. David Bressoud explains why calculus is credited to seventeenth-century figures Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, and how its current structure is based on developments that arose in the nineteenth century. Bressoud argues that a pedagogy informed by the historical development of calculus represents a sounder way for students to learn this fascinating area of mathematics. Delving into calculus's birth in the Hellenistic Eastern Mediterranean—particularly in Syracuse, Sicily and Alexandria, Egypt—as well as India and the Islamic Middle East, Bressoud considers how calculus developed in response to essential questions emerging from engineering and astronomy. He looks at how Newton and Leibniz built their work on a flurry of activity that occurred throughout Europe, and how Italian philosophers such as Galileo Galilei played a particularly important role. In describing calculus's evolution, Bressoud reveals problems with the standard ordering of its curriculum: limits, differentiation, integration, and series. He contends that the historical order—integration as accumulation, then differentiation as ratios of change, series as sequences of partial sums, and finally limits as they arise from the algebra of inequalities—makes more sense in the classroom environment. Exploring the motivations behind calculus's discovery, Calculus Reordered highlights how this essential tool of mathematics came to be. David M. Bressoud is DeWitt Wallace Professor of Mathematics at Macalester College and Director of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. His many books include Second Year Calculus and A Radical Approach to Lebesgue's Theory of Integration. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Economists had forecast a reading of 95.8. The rise was driven by improving expectations for business conditions, employment, and income, particularly among adults over the age of thirty-five and across nearly all income groups. The Expectations Index rose to 74.4 in July from 69.9 in the previous month. While still below the level of 80 that the Conference Board associates with recession risk, July marked the highest reading since January and the second consecutive monthly increase. According to the report, “all three components of the Expectation Index improved,” with fewer consumers expecting business and labor conditions to worsen and more anticipating income gains.
