Easing, Elections and the Experiences of a Veteran Trader
Experience in markets helps practitioners cope with the inevitable cyclicality of economic fundamentals and risk appetite. Combining the muscle memory of past cycles with new ideas and ways of thinking is crucial to lasting success. That's the lesson this week, as we talk to Chris Pizzotti, Global Head of FX Voice Trading at State Street Global Markets, about his formative experiences in trading and how they help him to think about the most pressing questions in markets today. Is volatility back for good or will it subside as quickly as it rose? How aggressive will the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan and others be in signalling policy intentions this year? What does it all mean for the dollar, yen, rate markets and EM FX? All crucial questions for macro markets addressed on this week's episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
