Probe Economics forecasts adhesive raw material prices.
Probe's forecasts are driven by three energy-economic scenarios. Path A, "Soft Landing," has a probability of 40% and assumes that oil prices settle back to more sustainable levels and approach their long-term trend on an inflation-corrected basis, which is basically flat at around $35 per barrel in year 2005 dollars. U.S. real GDP grows 2.5-3% per year.
