Our conversation outlines the current landscape for fixed income investors, and where to locate opportunity within the asset class. We also touch on an outlook for monetary policy, rates and the macro environment. Featured are Dan Hyman, Senior Portfolio Manager with PIMCO, and Leslie Falconio, Head of Taxable Fixed Income Strategy Americas with the UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
US President Trump’s remarks yesterday were a compilation of recent social media posts in both tone and content. While there were signals of an imminent US retreat from the Gulf, the aggressive remarks shaped market perceptions. US escalation (however short-lived) risks being met with an Iranian response, threatening more infrastructure damage in the Gulf. That could extend the economic damage of the war well beyond any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
UBS Art Advisory Specialist, Rachel Peart, sits down with Emily Kaplan, Senior Vice President and Senior Specialist, Postwar and Contemporary Art at Christie’s, to dive deeper on how auction estimates, reserves, and guarantees are set and used strategically. They examine bidder psychology and key valuation factors supported by notable examples. The episode closes with spring 2026 season highlights, led by three works from Agnes Gund’s collection and a major minimalism collection.
The declining number of market traders old enough to remember “The X Files” are muttering “I want to believe”. Markets want to hear good news about the Gulf war; trading negative risks would be very difficult. US President Trump is to speak tonight. This may or may not be useful, depending on whether Trump stays on script. Trump did indicate the US could retreat from the Gulf without a deal with Iran—that shortens the expected war timeline, as requiring a deal would first require direct negotiations, which do not appear to be happening.
Hear from members of the UBS Chief Investment Office fixed income team as they provide a performance and positioning update across fixed income sub-sectors. Featured are Leslie Falconio, Head of Taxable Fixed Income Strategy Americas, Sudip Mukherjee, Senior Municipal Strategist Americas, along with Senior Fixed Income Strategists’ Barry McAlinden, Frank Sileo, & Letty Zemaitis, from the UBS Chief Investment Office.
The Wall Street Journal reports US President Trump is considering a retreat from the Gulf without establishing control of the Strait of Hormuz. Investors, temperamentally inclined to look on the bright side, are focusing on the retreat and not the fact that an Iranian Hormuz toll would act a bit like US tariffs.

We discuss what’s happening in the energy market globally and the forces driving demand, along with an outlook for renewable energy, and how the energy sector is being shaped by artificial intelligence. Recorded on 26 February 2026 Host: Daniel Cassidy
Last week brought reprieves to US military strikes on Iranian power facilities, but not much in the way of credible ceasefire negotiations in the US-Iran conflict. That means uncertainty persists as investors await for signs of either escalation in the conflict or de-escalation. Jason Draho, Head of Asset Allocation Americas from the UBS Chief Investment Office, drops by to provide some clarity and guidance around portfolio positioning. Host Daniel Cassidy
US President Trump’s weekend rhetoric seemingly had little market impact. Attacks on industrial plants in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain remind investors that wartime disruption will continue after the war. Houthi involvement raises the risk of disruption to Suez-bound shipping. Iran is allowing limited oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz in what may become a more normal process.
Tune in at the start of the trading week ahead of the New York opening bell as Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, CIO Americas and Head of Global Equities for UBS Wealth Management, briefs you on what’s the signal, and what’s just noise in the markets. Recorded on 28 March 2026.

We discuss the factors that are driving this divergence, and how investors should consider positioning in emerging markets given the current risks and opportunities. Featured is Alejo Czerwonko, CIO for Emerging Markets Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
Any economist asked to assess the economic and market outlook can only offer a deep sigh of resignation. As with earlier trade deadlines, US President Trump has again extended the deadline for opening the Strait of Hormuz. However, the consequences of war deadlines are more serious than those of trade.
If I have a tax bill coming due soon, should I sell investments to raise cash - potentially realizing taxes and missing out on gains - or should I borrow and pay interest on the loan so that I can keep the portfolio invested? Dan Scansaroli, Head of Global Investment Management Multi-Asset Solutions & Co-Head Investment Management Americas, and Justin Waring, Head of UBS Wealth Way Strategy & Solutions, help answer this questions and examine the tradeoff. Host: Daniel Cassidy
The US insists peace talks are taking place with Iran. Markets are inclined to be skeptical of US statements in the absence of Iranian verification. The US 15-point peace plan was rejected, which was not a surprise for investors. Investors’ attitude toward the US’s Friday deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz is to assume the same “flexibility” is applied to trade deal deadlines.
Leslie and Letty drop by to share a performance update and outlook for the asset class (including an outlook for the 10-yr), along with guidance around positioning in the current environment. We also touch on the spotlight article from the March edition of the Fixed Income Strategist publication which talks about the impacts of artificial intelligence to credit markets. Featured are Leslie Falconio, Head of Taxable Fixed Income Strategy Americas, & Letty Zemaitis, Fixed Income Strategist Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
Markets desperately want to believe in the positive. Focus on the apparent 15-point US plan to end the war has received more attention than Iranian dismissals of this, or the fact that passage through the Strait of Hormuz is minimal. Domestic US politics may be reinforcing the perception that the US wishes to exit the war. The Florida state house district that includes the Mar-A-Lago estate was won by a Democrat who campaigned on the affordability crisis, despite US President Trump endorsing and voting (by mail) for the Republican candidate.
Paul drops by the podcast studio to share some considerations for business owners on how to navigate the current geopolitical and macroeconomic environment.

Featured is Paul Hsiao, Asset Allocation Strategist Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
A timely catch-up with Shane as we discuss how the U.S.-Iran War might evolve over the near-term, along with where congressional negotiations stand to resolve the Department of Homeland Security funding lapse. Plus, with a slim House GOP majority, we discuss the likelihood of the SAVE America Act being signed into law.
