"Reading Financial Markets and Economic Data"
Discussed by:
Sridhar Yarlagadda
First VP—Investments, Senior PIM Portfolio Manager, Sandia Investment Group of Wells Fargo Advisors LLC
Economic and financial data from the government and the private sector can have a significant impact on the equity, fixed income, currency and commodity markets. Emphasizing the importance of market and economic cycles, Sridhar Yarlagadda will show what key indicators he tracks for assessing current and future domestic and international trends. He will explain how to develop effective investment strategies by taking a macro view of the factors shaping markets, industries and investment behavior. He will conclude with his analysis of where we are in the economic cycle and secular trend and what implications this has for investment policy. Yarlagadda will outline his firm’s current outlook and suggested strategies, as well as focus on two areas suitable investors may want to consider: commodities and currencies. Commodities and currencies can be used passively in portfolios through various international choices, but also directly by taking bullish or bearish positions.
