Global macro approach to trading

***

MAIN SPEAKER - ILYA SPIVAK
Ilya applies a top-down global macro approach to trading that seeks to take advantage of big thematic moves in G10 FX currencies, commodities, rates and equity indices. While many macro investors try to "predict" economic and geopolitical outcomes, Ilya looks to relationships in cross-market price action to reveal key narratives and trends. He has headlined summits and seminars around the world and his insights are frequently found in leading media outlets including Reuters, Bloomberg and Ausbiz.
