Macroeconomic trends play a key role in shaping the future.

Understanding fiscal and monetary policies, trade and investment flows, political developments on a national and international scale, is key to evaluating potential macroeconomic risk. Intermediate variables of particular interest include equities and commodities markets, business cycles, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, prices, rates of economic growth and exports/imports.
