Fourth Quarter • January and February were better than expected . . . • . . . But expect another second quarter slowdown, but not necessarily anything severe; • Black swan threats: (1) Iran (2) Israel/Iran (3) Europe; • Many headwinds remain and the recovery could easily falter; • Concrete demand now on the rise – this is increasingly reflected in pricing dynamics; and • Companies seem perfectly content buying themselves.
