[SPEAKER_A] This is Street Signals, a weekly conversation about markets and macro brought to you by State Street Markets. I'm your host, Tim Graff, Head of Macro Strategy for Europe.

When you're in the day-to-day of markets, it's easy to get bogged down in this central banker comment or that inflation print and what it all means for rates and currencies for the next couple of days or hours even. Sometimes it's good to step back and get the bigger picture, which is why this week's guest is the perfect person to talk to. Chris Pizzotti is an Executive Vice President at State Street Markets and Global Head of FX Sales and Trading, sitting at the top of what has become one of the leading FX franchises in the world. A couple of years ago, we spoke to Chris about his background in trading and his short-term thoughts on markets, and we bring that up to date this week. But more than that, we cover the big themes that have been driving FX markets all year, how they might evolve in the coming months, and what he, as the leader of an FX trading business, is focused on as that business continues to scale to meet the needs of its clients.
