New benchmarking round for
electronic components started
Current opportunities:
 |
EUR
appreciation against the Dollar
up to 1,60 EUR/USD. |
Current Risks:
|
Massive
increases for energy and
logistics cost. No foreseeable
change of the trend, especially
for oil. |
|
In spite of
temporary downturns for almost
all non-ferrous metals, no
sustainable trend downwards can
be discerned. |
For purchasing
this means an increased uncertainty
regarding future prices. The partially
economically induced mergers and
spin-offs of some manufacturers are an
additional factor for uncertainty
regarding future price strategies.
Therefore, a sound judgement about the
own pricing position is needed in
order to be able to react quickly when
a need for action arises.
ecs-Benchmarking can show the own
positioning within the market.
