Analysing and forecasting the impact of macro / microeconomic trends and central bank policies on a broad range of asset classes; examining and where necessary challenging market psychology and consensus views. The joy of working as a market economist is, and has always been the constant need to research and learn about the changing landscape of the way that the world works, going far beyond the limited scope of economics and financial markets; be that in respect of how globalization and technology has and is transforming nearly all aspects of communication, culture, energy and how we interact with the environment on all levels. The fall-out from the pandemic will inevitably radically change working and social practices globally, and also force drastic changes on ‘just in time’ production, outsourcing processes and supply chains which have been exposed as very fragile and deficient by the pandemic, with the war in Ukraine serving to exacerbate such trends and add further uncertainty. The key challenges as an analyst are to enable and facilitate an in-depth critical and lateral thinking perspective on global economic, political and asset market trends, and to convey these ideas in terms that are accessible, with enthusiasm, as well as thought provoking. Having spent much of his childhood in Libya and Iran, Marc also has a particular interest in Middle Eastern culture, current affairs and history, and is passionate about music of all genres. Marc is a regular guest on Bloomberg TV & Radio, BBC, CGTN, CNBC, Le Fonti International and widely quoted on newswires, newspapers and other digital media across the globe. He is also a frequent conference speaker (S&P Sugar Geneva, Baltic Freight Forum, CTW, ETW, Global Grain, GAIM, IoD Annual Forecasting events, Trends Advisory amongst others), guest lecturer at various universities, as well as mentoring for the CFA Poland, universities and schools.
