John J. Hardy
Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy, CFA, has been with Saxo since 2002, most of that time as Head of FX Strategy. A native of Houston, Texas, and graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, John focuses chiefly on the thematic narratives that are driving financial markets on timeframes from day-to-day to a few months ahead, even as he is aware of the grand sweep of market history from recent decades to past millennia. John has appeared in the major financial television and print media and is sought out for his often pointed and out of consensus views on how currency, interest rate and other markets will shape up, particularly when the market narrative is getting ahead of itself or is at risk of a surprise.
