    Economist Beaulieu Discusses Inflation, Demand, Business Cycle

    Written by John Packard

    We are all concerned about the economy. Is inflation going to return to the devastating levels seen in the late 1970s and early 1980s (for those of you who were not around at the time, we saw interest rates rise to the high teens/low 20s)? When will demand ease and what are the implications for steel prices once it does? Where are we in the business cycle and what should my company be doing to prepare for 2022 business conditions?

Ternium reported Q3’26 net income of $368 million, compared with $465 million in Q2’26 and a $270-million loss in Q3’25.
