Peak-Rates Euphoria & AI’s Impact on Economic Growth and Productivity | Jens Nordvig

Welcome back to The Big Picture, OPTO's macro show, in association with MarketReader, where our mission is to decode the complex world of macroeconomics, sifting through an unprecedented amount of financial data to make sense of the forces driving markets.
In this episode, Jens Nordvig, our macro expert and co-host, revisits a timely call he made during our last show, where he predicted interest rates would peak due to lower inflation concerns, which, in turn, would support risk assets. We delve into the data supporting his prediction and discuss Jens' forecasts for the coming months. Our discussion then moves onto AI's impact on markets, economies, and policymaking, with Jens discussing the potential for a bubble in the space and revealing why he doesn’t expect AI to be the dominant factor affecting economic growth.
Jens Nordvig brings a wealth of experience from his roles as a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, Senior Investment Associate at Bridgewater, and Head of Fixed Income Research at Nomura. In 2021, Jens co-founded MarketReader, dedicated to explaining market movements through innovative empirical real-time analysis. Enjoy!
