Virbac – Health concerns, a dramatic decline into correction territory for the S&P 500, and declining oil and copper prices have combined to create a high level of uncertainty about what to expect from an economic perspective for the rest of 2020. The COVID-19 black swan was followed by the Saudis’ decision to significantly discount oil prices, disrupting the marketplace. The Saudis have provided the world with a second black swan, and we will touch on the probable economic fallout from the drop in oil prices. Alan Beaulieu provides an objective, numbers-driven approach to bear on these trends to give veterinary owners increased confidence in their planning. Find out why he believes we will not see a bona fide recession in 2020, and understand the economic signals you should be watching for in the months ahead.
