On today's episode of "The Macro Trading Floor," Alfonso and Andreas are joined by Saxo Bank CIO Steen Jakobsen. With 30+ years investing through some of the most volatile periods in market history, Steen compares previous market cycles to today's stating, "November last year was the single biggest event in my life".
As the Fed begins its most aggressive market tightening cycle in recent history, Steen expects a paradigm shift in investor preference towards commodities over financial assets.
After walking us through his macro framework, Steen shares a trade he put on to maneuver these uncertain times. To hear that, you'll have to tune in!
