WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Chief executives at major U.S. corporations are more downbeat about prospects for the economy than at anytime in the past three years. The Business Roundtable CEO economic outlook index fell to 82.4 in the third quarter from a reading of 98.6 in the second quarter. This is the lowest level since July-September 2003 for the survey, which had averaged 97.6 over the past year. Read full survey. Seventeen straight interest-rate hikes engineered by the Federal Reserve as well as higher energy costs are beginning to slow growth, said Harold McGraw, chairman of the Business Roundtable and chairman and CEO of McGraw-Hill Cos. Of those CEOs surveyed, 39% said they anticipate increasing their capital spending in the next six months, while half see no change in their spending plans and about 11% expect to cut their capital spending, CEOs see "a much-slower second half that will logically continue into next year," said McGraw during a teleconference with reporters. The nation's softening housing market has also been a burden, he said. "The overall picture for the economy in the months ahead remains a bit unclear," in light of mixed variables, McGraw said. Energy prices "remain the wild card." There has been some improvement in energy prices, but prices seem to be event-driven, he noted. The biggest concern for big companies is the impact of energy costs and other inflationary pressures on profits. There was a mixed response to a special survey question asking CEOs to assess if their companies are able to pass along higher energy costs. Only about 21% of the companies said they have been able to pass increased energy prices to along their customers, while another 33% of CEOs said they were only partially able to pass along these increases.
