Welcome to the Wednesday Edition of the Business News Headlines for this the 11th day of October. Glad you're here again. The markets jumped up and down early in the session but then investors got wind that the Central Bank may be pausing any benchmark interest rate hikes for at least until later. That did have an impact. Also, make sure you click ahead for our interview with Willem Cornelisse from The Netherlands about an important substance key to so much manufacturing. While the substance is a danger during manufacturing there is no substitute available yet. Should the ban happen some key manufactured components would be hit very hard. Meanwhile, if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Here's what we've got for you today:

Going International with Willem Cornelisse 11 October 2023

Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Recently we were on assignment in Phoenix, Arizona and had the opportunity to visit with several folks who were attending the annual meeting of the group, Independent Distributors Association. Think heavy construction equipment and parts. While there we were able to reconnect with Willem Cornelisse the Managing Director of Cornelisse Trading a firm located in The Netherlands. Here we talk about a movement that started in Europe to ban a substance used in the manufacturing of nearly everything on the planet. The issue is that there is not yet a replacement substance and the damage would be huge to the manufacturing industry. Oh, the things you learn. Meet our friend Willem.
