Record Date: 5/31/17 

Traders,

Today I spoke to a man that started his career as an assistant trader. He started in Japanese Bonds and got hooked!  He went to work at a bank in Paris and eventually to London selling credit derivatives and bonds to large Institutions.  His name is Martin Tixier and he is a Strategist at Independent Macro Consultancy Firm Macronomics.

Today, Martin and I discussed why traders should be watching shadow banking and wealth management products in China as they may soon have a big impact on Financial Markets.  We talked about the French Election and I asked Martin why the markets were so reactive to them. He tells us what traders should be looking at from Macron as time goes by.

We spoke about Italy and why he thinks it’s the biggest risk in Europe.  He tells us what inning it is in the credit cycle and why the flattening of the US Yield curves is so important for traders to keep an eye on.  Martin is a very smart guy who understands the Macro picture as well as anyone I’ve spoken too.  I know you will learn a lot from today’s show with him.  As always thank you for listening, and please enjoy this episode.
