Global Economics

Located in New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mumbai and Sydney, the Global Economics team of about 30 professional economists analyzes developments in macroeconomic policies around the world and forecasts key economic variables and their effects on global markets for all major countries.

A Strong Team With a Variety of Backgrounds
All team members hold at least a master's degree in economics or closely related fields from a high-quality university. They also come from a variety of backgrounds, enabling our team to bring different areas of expertise to economic forecasting.

A Common View
We are proud that we present one common, global view with our regional and country forecasts. This is true not only of the forecasts within the Global Economics team, but it also applies across our Research departments.

The Global Economics team works with strategists in the Fixed Income, Equities and Foreign Exchange (FX) Strategy groups on their forecasting. These strategists refer to our economic forecasts and incorporate the information into their portfolio analyses and recommendations. The Firm's analysts, in turn, use this economic and strategic input to compile their individual investment recommendations for clients.

How We Get Our View Across
We offer a range of publications, available through various channels, depending on client preferences, location and requirements:

Online Comments
Quick, short, high-frequency analysis of data releases and news.

Morning Comments
These reports update readers on important data releases and market moves since close of business the previous day, as well as provide previews of the current day's market-moving data. There are three editions each day, one for each trading zone.

Weekly/Quarterly Reports and Research Papers
These reports present articles on a wide variety of topics that range from specific countries to global analysis of all major economies and financial markets. Our weekly reports include country-by-country summaries of our macroeconomic forecasts, as well as detailed commentary of forthcoming releases and market-moving events, including data calendars of the week and month ahead. Our longer-term, in-depth research includes quarterly publications and research papers on a diverse set of topics. Finally, we contribute to a number of more specialized strategy products that emphasize the market implications of our views.
