This month, we’re pleased to welcome Bilal Hafeez, Founder and CEO of Macro Hive—a leading platform for global macro research and strategy serving both institutional and retail investors. Before launching Macro Hive, Bilal held senior roles at major financial institutions and has consistently been recognized as one of the top market strategists in the industry.

With rising geopolitical tensions and growing uncertainty around tariff policies, we’re eager to get Bilal’s take on policy volatility in a Trump 2.0 era. What is he seeing across the global landscape? How does he view the outlook for inflation and recession risks through 2025? What might we expect from the Fed’s interest rate policy, and how could these factors shape the broader capital markets? Most importantly, what should investors consider when positioning their portfolios—and are there sectors or strategies that could help mitigate these risks?
