CNBC’s Ron Insana to Speak at SMU Steel Summit Conference

Steel Market Update is pleased to announce the addition of Ron Insana, the highly respected commentator with TV news networks CNBC and MSNBC, as a keynote speaker. Insana will explore how the shifting domestic and global political environments could strain the economy, disrupt certain industries, and affect financial markets in the relatively near future.

With the gutting of the U.S. diplomatic corps, the American withdrawal from—or renegotiation of—key multilateral agreements, from the Paris Climate Accord to TPP to NAFTA, the United States is risking its leadership position in the world, its ability to aid its allies, and its credibility in admonishing its adversaries. While the elimination of costly regulations has been a boon to businesses and stock prices, the long-term consequences of these changes are not yet known, Insana says.
