There’s no better place for investors to express their views about the vagaries of central bank policies, global politics and the changing economic landscape than the world’s biggest bond and currency markets. As nations and companies grapple with a variety of threats and opportunities in a post-Covid environment, debt and FX will be a major focus for investors, while America’s $28 trillion Treasury market is at the forefront of shifting monetary and fiscal policy priorities.
