Macro Matters - what's new?

Jessica Noviskis, Tony Zhang and Rich Excell are back to talk about the recent moves in the market. What does the election mean for AI? What does the change in AI growth mean for the economy? What does sticky inflation mean for the Fed? Is the Fed's job harder now? Are we going to face stagflation? There is a lot that rhymes with the 1970's

For this episode, we catch up with the Co-founder of Macro Matters - Lotta Moberg.  Rich speaks to Lotta about a wide range of topics - portfolio construction, AI in investment management, private markets, and her new podcast "Financial Thought Exchange"

Jessica Noviskis, Tony Zhang and Rich Excell cover the events of the past two weeks. Is the AI capex spending boom over? What does that mean for the equity market? The economy?  Will the US election move markets? What do we need to watch?  The team debates the topics from the different sides of the argument so we can all avoid confirmation bias, that behavioral bias that tempts and hurts us all. 

Rich, Tony and Jessica are back to talk about the set-up of the market into earnings. The bond market is a disaster, so why are stocks near all-time highs? Is the market mis-pricing because we are in a bubble? What should we watch for?
