    • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal risk/compliance guidelines.
  2. Market and Economic Research
    • Conduct ongoing analysis of global and domestic interest rate markets, including economic indicators, monetary policies, and geopolitical events.
    • Develop models to analyze, explain and forecast interest rate, economic behavior and patterns, and devise methods for collection and analysis of data.
    • Perform in-depth economic research to forecast interest rate movements and provide actionable trade ideas in a timely manner.
  3. Communication and Collaboration
    • Prepare detailed reports and presentations on interest rate trends, economic forecasts, and strategic recommendations for senior management.
    • Communicate complex interest rate strategies and market insights to internal clients and stakeholders in a clear and concise manner.
