Our Global Head of Macro Strategy Matthew Hornbach and Chief U.S. Economist Michael Gapen discuss the outcome of the recent FOMC meeting, and the outlook for interest rates in 2025 and 2026.----- Transcript -----Matthew Hornbach: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Matthew Hornbach, Global Head of Macro Strategy.Michael Gapen: And I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist.Matthew Hornbach: Today we're talking about the March Federal Open Market Committee meeting and the path for rates from here.It's Thursday, March 20th at 10am in New York.Mike, the Fed released a new set of projections yesterday. What do these say and what did you learn from them?Michael Gapen: Yeah, Matt, well, the Fed's forecast actually now look a lot like our outlook for the U.S. economy. So, they revised down their expectation of growth. They revised up their expectation for inflation. So, it has a bit of a stagflation, slower growth, stickier inflation outlook – which is very much what we were thinking coming into this year. The Fed also, though, highlighted high policy uncertainty. They wrote down a forecast, but I'm not all that convinced that they have a lot of confidence in how things will evolve.So, I think for me, really, the bigger story were their updated perceptions about uncertainty and risks to the outlook. So, in December, if you remember, they told us; virtually everybody on the committee said, uncertainty around inflation is high and risk to inflation to the upside. They complemented that this week with the fact that uncertainty around growth in the labor market is high, but risk to growth is to the downside, the unemployment rate to the upside. So, you have kind of competing risks here around the Fed's dual mandate. They've got upside risk to inflation, downside risk to growth.To me, that's kind of the really important message. It's hard to have a confidence in a forecast right now, but I think that risk assessment is really interesting.Matthew Hornbach: And with that in mind, and given all the policy uncertainty that the Fed mentioned, what did Powell say about how the Fed should react? In other words, what is appropriate policy at this stage?Michael Gapen: Right. Yeah, it's tricky, right? So, on one side of your mandate, you think risks to inflation are squarely to the upside and growth in labor markets to the downside. So, what do you do? And I think Powell said, I think that the logical answer, which is, well, right now you do nothing, and you wait.But then I think what Powell said is: How we think this plays out is – tariffs may boost inflation in the short run. Which we're going to try to ignore. And if the economy does weaken and the labor market softens, we'll ease policy in order to support activity, right? So, there might be, say, symmetric risks around their dual mandate, but there's asymmetry in the policy outlook.He said we're either going to be on hold or we're going to be cutting rates. And generally, I think that's the right thing.Matthew Hornbach: So, Mike, what I heard from you was that the Fed was going to look through inflation in the near term, and then eventually cut. I mean, do you think they can do that?Michael Gapen: Yeah, I think, Matt, that's a great question. My answer to that is, I think it's easier said than done. We agree that the next move from the Fed is going to be a cut, but we think that cut comes much later.This is a very data dependent Fed. So, I think in the moment, if tariffs boost inflation now and weaken activity later, it's easy to say, ‘I'm going to look through that and cut.' But in practice, I think it's hard.So, Matt, actually, at this point, though, I think I would actually kind of ask you the same question, but in a different way, right? We doubt the Fed may be able to do this. But the market priced in more rate cuts this year than we think is likely. How would you explain the market pricing and how far away from my expectation do you think it could run?Matthew Hornbach: What's really interesting about how the market has priced the recent events is – it's actually pricing more in line with the spirt of your view. In the sense that the market has priced more rate cuts in 2026 than it's pricing in 2025. So, in spirit, the market is very much with you. But as we like to say, the market price is an average of all possible outcomes. And if one of the outcomes is the Fed does nothing for the foreseeable future. And the other outcome is the Fed cuts aggressively this year. Then the market price has to reflect some degree of additional easing in 2025 that wouldn't necessarily be aligned with a rational baseline for Fed policy.So, market in some ways is reflecting the idea that you're proposing in your forecast. But it's also reflecting the idea that it's a market and that it has to be priced for some amount of risk premia that the Fed is ultimately forced to cut rates more.And in fact, if I can ask you a question relating to that, Mike, you know, the equity market at one point last week had fallen about 10 per cent from the highs.Michael Gapen: Mm hmm.Matthew Hornbach: Number one, is there a percentage drawdown that gets the Fed's attention? You know, how does the Fed think about the equity market in an environment like this?Michael Gapen: Yeah, I think the equity market, in my view, and I think the view of the Fed, is what I'll call a key spillover channel. Trade and manufacturing are relatively small shares of the economy. So, if we pursue restrictive trade policies, growth should slow, inflation may be firm. That's the Fed's essential baseline; it's ours. The risk here though is that somewhere in there you get a destabilizing period, equity markets fall, upper income consumers take a step back, and you have a much broader downturn at that point.So, you ask a great question, how far do equity markets have to fall? Well, we get 10 per cent declines in equity markets on average about once a year, so it's not that. And the theory would say households have to view that decline in wealth as permanent, right? So, it has to be a fairly substantial decline.Given how far wealth has risen, we're over [$]51 trillion now and an increase in net wealth since COVID. I think that decline has to be large. I would pencil in something, probably need about a 30 per cent decline in equity markets – before maybe that spillover risk gets very elevated.So, Matt, if I can turn back, because, you know, I think we're in general agreement here on what we heard yesterday. But what I'd like to do in terms of looking forward, so aside from the usual communications coming from the Fed, after the blackout period, following the meeting. What do you think investors will be focusing on over the next month?Matthew Hornbach: My sense is that there is already an unusual amount of focus on April 2nd.You know, that is the day when the Trump administration is supposed to unveil their plan for reciprocal tariffs. It's unclear what tariffs will be implemented on April 2nd; what tariffs will be saved for a negotiating process thereafter. So, clients are very focused on April 2nd. I also suspect that at some various periods between now and then, we are likely to receive previews, in the form of various communications coming from the Trump administration on the types of policies that we may end up seeing delivered on April 2nd.And so, I suspect that between now and then there will be a crescendo in concern, perhaps, over what will come of U.S. trade policy for the balance of this year. And really for the balance of the next three and a half years.So, with that, Michael, thanks for taking the time to talk.Michael Gapen: Great speaking with you, Matt.Matthew Hornbach: And thanks for listening.

You may have seen the big debate on LinkedIn - should we share interview questions with candidates beforehand?For Ellie Long, Global Head of Emerging Talent at Rolls-Royce, the answer is clear. While it's a bold move, she believes it's the right one. Her philosophy? Set candidates up for success so they can showcase their skills and potential. And in the age of AI, this has never been more important. That's because many candidates assume AI will give them an edge—but in reality, it might be holding them back.With a background in Early Careers at E.ON UK, Ellie is passionate about using emerging talent as a strategic leaver focused on future skills and capabilities. In this episode, she shares why supporting all candidates is crucial — especially in the AI era — and how focusing on potential, not polish, is the key to building future talent.Join host Robert Newry and guest Ellie Long as they discuss:

Engines were already being built at the site in Zafra in 1875, where DEUTZ today has its main factory for processing engine components. Around 500 employees in modern manufacturing facilities produce engine blocks, cylinder blocks, connecting rods, and gears for the Group's assembly lines in Cologne and Ulm. DEUTZ's new 3.9-litre diesel engine is mostly used in agricultural and construction machines. It is designed for long service life as an industrial engine and will be built until at least 2035. Series production will start in the coming year after the current prototype phase. Available in a power range from 55 to 160kW, this engine represents an important future project for Deutz with 50,000 units to be produced per year. It is the same size as its 3.6-litre predecessor, so it can be installed in the same vehicles, providing very efficient performance. “Our engines are typically deployed in off-highway applications like agricultural and construction machines, which are in constant use and move heavy loads. We'll continue to need an internal combustion engine to move those machines. For now, it will be in the form we use today: the diesel engine. Synthetic fuels or hydrogen can considerably prolong their deployment,” explains Alejandro Castilla De La Hoya, Zafra Plant Manager. He points out that the income from this area finances DEUTZ's investments in the green segment, which is dedicated to the transformation of mobility. The 3.9-litre diesel engine is already set to run on gas or hydrogen in the future. “Based on today's design, this diesel engine can become a green engine in the long run,” says Manuel Rodríguez López, Industrialisation Manager. This is possible thanks to small modifications, particularly to the cylinder head. However, the engine remains mostly the same. MAPAL is already collaborating on DEUTZ's first hydrogen engine – a huge 7.8 litres. Two weeks from design freeze to offer “Our clients' development periods for new parts are becoming shorter and shorter,” explains Thomas Spang, Global Head of Tool Management at MAPAL. This represents a growing challenge for tool manufacturers or complete suppliers like MAPAL. This is true if plans change at the last minute while the deadline for the tool design remains the same. For the engine block of the new 3.9-litre diesel engine, MAPAL only had two weeks after the design freeze to complete a final offer. An ardent team of experts in Aalen completed this ambitious task on time. Well-tuned workflows and many years of experience with the client's production methods proved advantageous for the team. MAPAL has been conducting tool management for DEUTZ in Spain for 18 years and several projects have been completed together over the years. MAPAL already engineered the machining of the engine blocks for the predecessor 3.6-litre diesel engine, which meant they could draw on practical experience and didn't have to start from scratch. For example, the tool experts already knew which machines the engine manufacturer had from previous projects. DEUTZ has equipped its assembly line in Zafra with new 5-axis machines over recent years so that they can easily switch to new products. When DEUTZ sent their request, the Tool Management department, in collaboration with the Technology Expert Team (TET) in Aalen, first gave some thought to the production process. “To be quick here, we don't concern ourselves with detail at this early stage, but instead pull together reference tools and concepts from previously completed projects,” explains Harald Traub from TET. As a project engineer, he is responsible for planning the entire process. “In this way, we can specify an approximate budget and the rough scope of the tool package for the client.” One hundred different tools for an engine block After this rough planning, the concrete tool design followed in the second week. In the end, MAPAL's offer for the series production of the motor block included almost 100 different tools. Many custom tools achieve short machining times and, thus, high economic efficiency. Aside from these, standard tools are used mainly for milling. A few close-to-standard tools were also used to produce prototypes quickly. Series production can then begin with the optimal set of tools. As part of their original delivery, MAPAL supplied consumable tools as well as the required tool holders and adapters to DEUTZ. All other consumables will be handled by the tool management on-site. From now on, the client no longer pays per tool but per completed part—i.e., the cost per part is billed. The unit costs at first correspond to the price determined during engineering. Certain ratios have been agreed upon for the following years. The client receives an increasing rebate percentage and pays a bit less per unit every year. For this business model to work out, MAPAL has to implement continual improvements to save costs. This is done with new tool technologies and corresponding optimisation. The costs per part are fixed over the contract term, after which a reassessment occurs. Such contracts run over four to five years and offer the client planning security. “With our engineering expertise, we support DEUTZ beyond the tool-setting area and cultivate a close partnership,” Spang highlights. After helping to build the prototype, it is the tool management's turn to shine on-site during series production. DEUTZ uses approximately 1,300 different tools in total. Thousands of tools are available from stock and must be managed in Zafra. To keep inventory optimal, MAPAL uses its warehouse management systems and digital solutions with the cloud-based software c-Com for tool management. The Digital Tool Management 4.0 doesn't only handle procurement processes, which are initiated semi-automatically; it also acts as a reporting tool to analyse cost drivers and stocks. Industrialisation Manager Manuel Rodríguez López praises the good collaboration with MAPAL regarding tool management: “Over the course of our cooperation, we have developed extensive technological concepts, which go far beyond mere logistics. Besides achieving cost reductions, tool setting is particularly important for us. The MAPAL employees working on-site have much know-how and ensure that production has exactly the tool they need at the right time.” MAPAL's tool manager on site is David Castaño. MAPAL also employs tool setters permanently in Zafra. They make sure that a dozen different parts are produced without a hitch. “It is very beneficial to have David here on-site with us,” emphasises Manuel Padilla Fernández, Manufacturing Engineering Manager at DEUTZ. “We can talk about any opportunities for optimisation directly at the machine. We don't consider David Castaño an external service provider but a part of our team. It's a very strong cooperation.” Developing together to solve problems If required, new tool solutions can be developed in Aalen via the local MAPAL team. That was the case in Zafra when it became necessary to optimise the tools for machining the bore in the crankshaft and camshaft. A new machining concept from MAPAL with the HPR400 reamer was implemented in cooperation with DEUTZ. David Castaño is convinced of its advantages: “The tool life of the previous tool was 350 units, and resetting was required every 100 units. With the HPR400, we achieve a tool life of 1,000 parts without resetting. The resulting machining quality is exceptionally go

Künstliche Intelligenz ist längst nicht mehr nur ein Tool für Tech-Vorreiter – sie wird zur Schlüsseltechnologie für Unternehmen aller Branchen. Von der Prozessautomatisierung über datenbasierte Entscheidungen bis hin zu völlig neuen Geschäftsmodellen: KI verändert, wie wir arbeiten und wirtschaften. Die Vorteile sind messbar: Unternehmen, die generative KI und Cloud-Infrastruktur einsetzen, steigern ihre Produktivität im Schnitt um 15 Prozent. Noch spannender ist der Innovationsschub: In KI-gestützten Firmen machen neue Produkte und Services 35 Prozent des Umsatzes aus – ohne KI sind es nur 21 Prozent. Das zeigt eine aktuelle Studie des IW im Auftrag der unter dem Dach des eco Verbands gegründeten Allianz zur Stärkung digitaler Infrastrukturen. Doch damit KI ihr volles Potenzial entfalten kann, muss sie mehr sein als eine technologische Ergänzung – sie muss Teil der Unternehmenskultur werden. Nur wenn Fachkräfte aktiv eingebunden sind und Unternehmen KI nicht nur nutzen, sondern mitgestalten, können sie langfristig wettbewerbsfähig bleiben. In der neuen Folge von “Das Ohr am Netz” sprechen Sidonie und Sven im Rahmen der KI Future Tech-Kampagne von eco und Microsoft über spannende KI-Praxisbeispiele. Dr. Christian Essling ist Global Head of Data & AI beim Energiekonzern E.ON. Er berichtet im Interview, in welchen Bereichen des Unternehmens die Technologie überall zum Einsatz kommt und welche Rolle KI in Zeiten der KI-Wende spielt. In einer Zeit, in der Nachrichten auf unterschiedlichsten Kanälen verbreitet werden, kann KI eine echte Unterstützung sein. Wie die FUNKE Mediengruppe die Technologie verantwortungsvoll im gesamten Unternehmen eingeführt hat und wie sie unter anderem im redaktionellen Bereich eingesetzt wird, erklärt Dr. Paul Elvers, Head of AI. Außerdem blicken wir in dieser Folge hinter die Kulissen einer international agierenden Wirtschaftskanzlei: Martina Farkas, Partnerin im Bereich Gesellschaftsrecht sowie Mergers & Acquisitions bei Linklaters, spricht im Interview darüber, wie KI-Tools unter anderem die Zusammenarbeit mit internationalen Kolleg:innen und Mandant:innen vereinfachen.

Send us a textWhat shapes a Global Marketing Leader's perspective? For Antonia Wade, PwC's Global Chief Marketing Officer and Marketing Week's Marketeer of the Year, Leadership Excellence stems from finding balance between professional ambition and personal fulfillment.Sitting in her study – her physical "Clearing" amid family life with two teenagers, a husband, and a dog named Biscuit – Antonia reflects on the formative experiences that built her leadership philosophy. Her journey from Architecture student to being Global Head of Marketing at PwC wasn't straightforward, but architectural thinking gave her the perfect foundation: balancing creativity with pragmatism while solving complex problems.The conversation explores how Antonia manages a Worldwide Team across time-zones without sacrificing her own boundaries. "If I'm emailing at the weekend, even if I don't intend for people to respond, they feel like they have to," she explains, highlighting how leadership behaviors unconsciously shape team culture. This awareness permeates her approach – protecting weekends, making time for cooking (her delightful "squirrel" distraction), and prioritizing family.At the heart of Antonia's Leadership perspective is a powerful guiding principle: "You are where you are today because of the decisions you made 5  years ago." This insight helps her evaluate current choices with future impact in mind while giving her team a framework for intentional career development. She complements this with advice from a former mentor: focus on "the things that only you can do" rather than trying to be everything to everyone.Beyond her professional insights, we discover Antonia's near-win in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award, her love of reading a novel weekly, and how she wrote her book "Transforming the B2B Buyer Journey" during gardening leave and airport layovers. Her parting advice embodies her leadership philosophy: "Be curious but also be bold and ambitious. You might as well push for the things you want – you certainly don't get what you want if you don't ask for it."Antonia Wade, Global Chief Marketing Officer at PwC and Marketing Week's Marketeer of the Year, shares her leadership journey and personal philosophy for maintaining balance in a demanding global role.• Finding your "clearing" - both physical and mental spaces for reflection and rejuvenation• How studying architecture created a foundation for balancing creativity and pragmatism in marketing• The importance of setting boundaries with work communications to model healthy behavior for your team• Making decisions today with awareness of their impact on your life five years from now• Focusing on "what only you can do" rather than trying to be everything to everyone• Finding inspiration through global travel, Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

*This episode is in partnership with YSL Beauty*In this episode I'm joined by the incredible Juleah Love and Manon Ergin. Juleah is the Global Head of Brand Corporate Engagement at YSL Beauty and Manon the VP of Global Communication and Image. But what makes these women stand out to me is the passion and commitment that they have put into creating YSL Beauty's Abuse Is Not Love Campaign which helps women all around the world to deal with, learn about and escape abusive relationships.During the episode we talk about the making of "Don't Call It Love" , an incredibly hard-hitting short film that they released on International Women's Day and how they have turned the traditional idea of a fragrance ad on its head to help make the most important of points and educate as many women as possible.We also explore the lengths they have gone to to ensure that they can help women all around the world in the right way. (They work with experts and charities to ensure that they address each country's individual problems).Juleah also speaks from the heart about what to do if you find yourself in an abusive relationship and why you must never blame yourself!What really struck me when speaking to Juleah and Manon both before and during the recording was that this isn't yet another big brand "doing good" and paying lip service to impress consumers. In fact, I got the impression that the work that they are doing around IPV (intimate partner violence) has become larger and more vital that they ever could have imagined. These women and their team are fully invested and so incredibly passionate about the work that they are doing.If you'd like to watch Don't Call It Love, you can do hereIf you need help with IPV then you'll find lots of resources here

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We had a chance to sit down with Blue Owl Co-CEO Marc Lipschultz recently at their Nest Network Summit for RIAs and private banks in Laguna Beach.It was a perfect setting to discuss Blue Owl's incredible growth, which has been in part due to its unique and focused partnership with the wealth channel.Blue Owl is one of the industry's largest alternative asset managers and has charted an impressive growth path in the nine years since its founding. Blue Owl has scaled to over $250B of AUM and has proven to be one of the top firms at raising capital from the wealth channel.Marc is a private markets industry veteran who has been instrumental in building not just one, but two of the industry's biggest players.He spent over two decades at KKR, serving on the firm's Management Committee, and as the Global Head of Energy and Infrastructure after joining the firm as one of the first 20 employees. He then partnered with Blackstone GSO Founder Doug Ostrover and Goldman Sachs Partner and Co-Head of Leveraged Finance Craig Packer to co-found Owl Rock Capital Partners, the predecessor firm to Blue Owl's Credit platform. Owl Rock combined with Dyal Capital Partners to become the publicly traded entity Blue Owl in May 2021 and has since grown to over $250B in AUM and $2.2B in revenue.Owl Rock and now, Blue Owl's, flight is emblematic of the evolution of alternative asset managers. Marc and I had a fascinating conversation. We discussed: How Blue Owl's growth highlights trends that have propelled alternative asset management into the mainstream.Why scale matters.Their focus on private credit, data centers, and digitalization.Their focus on private wealth. The power of permanent capital.Thanks Marc for coming on the show to share your wisdom and expertise in private markets.You can also see a recent Q&A with Marc on AGM here.A number of the themes discussed by Marc in the podcast and Q&A appear in Blue Owl's 2025 Market Outlook.

President Trump's decision to temporarily suspend military support for Ukraine, coupled with his implicit threat to withdraw US forces from Europe unless Nato allies increase their defence spending, has upended the near 80-year transatlantic alliance, and left European countries scrambling to respond.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for a ‘surge' in defence spending and said nothing is off the table when it comes to raising money. Last week, she unveiled an €800bn plan to allow member states to increase spending and borrow money for defence purposes without violating the bloc's strict budget rules.  But some EU member states have already pushed back, with highly indebted countries like Italy worried about the financial strain of the plan and Germany concerned about the implications for its fiscal conservatism.So who will pay, how much will they pay, and what will it all mean for Europe's economy, markets, and security?In this podcast, ING's Global Head of Macro Carsten Brzeski and Netherlands' Chief Economist Bert Colijn discuss the hard political and financial choices ahead for Europe and the chances of success.

While tariffs continue to dominate headlines, our Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy Michael Zezas suggests investors should also focus on the sectoral impacts of additional U.S. policy choices.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy. Today, we'll be talking about U.S. policy impacts on the market that aren't about tariffs.It's Wednesday, March 12th, at 10:30am in New York.If tariffs are dominating your attention, we sympathize. Again this week we heard the U.S. commit to raising tariffs and work out a resolution, this time all within the span of a workday. These twists and turns in the tariff path are likely to continue, but in the meantime it might make sense for investors to take some time to look away – instead focusing on some key sectoral impacts of U.S. policy choices that our Research colleagues have called out. For example, Andrew Percoco, who leads our Clean Energy Equity Research team, calls out that clean Energy stocks may be pricing in too high a probability of an Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) repeal. He cites a letter signed by 18 Republicans urging the speaker of the house to protect some of the energy tax credits in the IRA. That's a good call out, in our view. Republicans' slim majority means only a handful need to oppose a legislative action in order to block its enactment. Another example is around Managed Care companies. Erin Wright, who leads our Healthcare Services Research Effort, analyzed the impact to companies of cuts to the Medicaid program and found the impact to their sector's bottom line to be manageable. So, keeping an in-line view for the sector. We think the sector won't ultimately face this risk, as, like with the IRA, we do not expect there to be sufficient Republican votes to enact the cuts. Finally, Patrick Wood, who leads the Medtech team, caught up with a former FDA director to talk about how staffing cuts might affect the industry. In short, expect delays in approvals of new medical technologies. In particular, it seems the risk is most acute in the most cutting edge technologies, where skilled FDA staff are hard to find. Neurology and brain/computer interfaces stand out as areas of development that might slow in this market sector. All that said, if you just can't turn away from tariffs, we reiterate our guidance here: Tariffs are likely going up, even if the precise path is uncertain. And whether or not you're constructive on the goals the administration is attempting to achieve, the path to achieving them carries costs and execution risk. Our U.S. economics team's recent downgrade of the U.S. growth outlook for this and next year exemplifies this. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Welcome to Episode 35 of the Talent Intelligence Collective podcast! Alan Walker, Alison Ettridge, and Toby Culshaw sit down with Chris Woodward, whose fascinating journey from military leadership to strategic workforce planning offers a masterclass in talent strategy and organisational effectiveness.This month's intelligence roundup features Toby exploring whether AI agents can truly become trusted advisors in talent intelligence, sparking a thought-provoking discussion about the balance between automation and human judgement. The conversation shifts to the UK's ambitious AI skills strategy, contrasting it with the Gulf region's more pragmatic approach to talent development, highlighting the critical importance of long-term thinking versus short-term political cycles.Chris shares his remarkable career trajectory from the British Army, where he served four tours in Afghanistan, to his role as Global Head of Strategic Workforce Planning at Babcock. He offers valuable insights into how military concepts like "battle grouping" – bringing together diverse capabilities towards clear outcomes – can transform talent strategy in the corporate world. His experience reimagining talent pathways in the military and later applying competency science at Korn Ferry reveals the power of objective, future-focused talent management.The discussion delves into the challenges of demand-side workforce planning, with Chris highlighting how organisations often struggle with long-term capability building when faced with immediate business pressures. His work on criticality assessments for submarine servicing exposed stark talent shortages, necessitating innovative approaches to capability development with multi-year horizons.As Chris embarks on his next chapter establishing an advisory practice focused on organisational effectiveness, he shares three essential tips for strategic workforce planning professionals: get strategic clarity, build relationships across the business, and truly understand how the business creates value. His perspective on HR functions becoming truly strategic partners rather than cost centres offers a compelling vision for the future of talent management.Until next time, stay curious, stay strategic, and most importantly, stay intelligent!

How are fan relationships reshaping the music industry and beyond? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Nick Holmstén, the visionary behind Spotify Playlists and former Global Head of Music at Spotify, to explore how fandom is becoming the driving force behind brand and artist success. Nick shares his journey from building Tunigo—acquired by Spotify to leading TSX Entertainment in Times Square and now focusing on the future of artist-fan connections. With streaming, social media, and emerging technologies shifting the power dynamic, fans are no longer passive listeners or consumers. They're shaping culture, promoting artists, and setting new industry trends. We discuss how the rise of independent artists and direct-to-fan platforms is changing music distribution, why brands should rethink their audiences as communities rather than customers, and how blockchain could introduce new transparency and reward systems for engagement. Nick also shares insights from his new book, Fan-Powered Futures, which explores how companies and creators can thrive in this new landscape. With more industries embracing engagement-driven models, what lessons can businesses take from the evolution of the music industry? And how will AI, Web3, and digital innovation further transform entertainment? Tune in to hear Nick's thoughts on what's next for artists, brands, and fan-powered economies.

While policy noise continues to dominate the headlines, our Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy Michael Zezas points out a key theme: a transition toward a multipolar world.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Global Head of Fixed Income Research and Public Policy Strategy. Today we'll be discussing what investors need to focus on amidst all the U.S. policy headlines.It's Friday, March 7th, at 12:30 pm in New York.In recent weeks the news flow on tariffs, immigration, and geopolitics has been relentless, culminating in this week's state of the union address by President Trump and, if headlines hold, a partial reversal in course on Mexico and Canada tariffs that were just levied earlier this week. Understandably, measures of policy uncertainty, such as the Baker, Bloom, and Davis index, have reached all time highs. And this tracks with the confusion expressed by investing and corporate clients. In our view, this policy noise is going to continue. But, there is an important signal. These developments track with one of our four key themes of 2025. The transition toward a multipolar world. The tense White House meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelensky, played out live in front of the news cameras, was another reminder that the U.S. is evolving its role in driving international affairs. And tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China are a reminder of the U.S.'s interest in rewiring global trade. The reasons behind this are myriad and complex, but in the near term it's about the U.S. looking more inward. Economic populism is, well, popular with voters in both parties. There's a few net takeaways for investors here. One is a positive for the European defense sector. The combination of tariffs and the evolving U.S. posture on global security has long been part of our thesis on why Europe would eventually chart a new path and step up to spend more on defense. The current situation in Russia and Ukraine underscores this, with potential for another $0.9-$2.7 trillion in defense spending through 2035. Germany's new ‘whatever it takes' approach to defense spending is a key signpost in this trend, per our colleagues in European economics, equities, and foreign exchange. Another critical takeaway is around the effects of U.S. trade realignment on both macro markets and equity sector preferences. Whether these trade policy changes play out well over time or not, the attempt costs something in the near term. Tariffs are part of that cost. And while the precise path of tariff increases is unclear, what is clear is that they're headed higher in the aggregate, a tactic in service of the administration's goal of reducing trade deficits and creating reciprocal trade barriers in order to incentivize greater production in the U.S. Over the next year, our economists expect that those tariff costs will crimp economic activity. That slower growth should eventually feed through into a more dovish monetary policy. Both factors, in the view of our U.S. rates strategy team, should continue pushing yields lower – good news for bond investors, but more challenging posture for equity investors, and a key reason our cross asset team is currently flagging a preference for fixed income. That tariff activity should also drive supply chain realignment. But, going forward, changing those supply chains may now be more costly. Per work from our Global economics team, the supply chains that need to be moved now are complex and concentrated in geopolitical rivals. That's a challenge for certain sectors, like U.S. IT hardware and consumer discretionary. But the investment to make it happen creates demand and is a benefit for the capital goods and broader industrials sector. Bottom line, the policy noise will continue, as will the market cross currents it's driving. We'll keep you informed on it all here. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.
