UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Inflation (but not the really exciting sort)'
Assorted provinces of the Euro empire will be releasing their flash February consumer price inflation data. There is little expectation for any drama in this data. The overall inflation picture in Europe is benign, and there is no real sense of an affordability crisis—for the most part, European policies have not added to inflation, high frequency purchases like food have modest price increases, and electricity prices are even falling (a concept US consumers may struggle to comprehend).

UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'More tariff threats?'
The Bank of Korea left rates unchanged, as every economist predicted. There was forward guidance (regrettably, the Bank of Korea likes the Federal Reserve’s fabled “dot plot” approach, and adopted a refined version). This signaled no change in policy for six months, with relatively positive views on economic growth.
Top of the Morning: POTUS 47 - U.S. trade policy, Geopolitics, & State of the Union address
Kurt Reiman, Head of Fixed Income Americas, and Shane Lieberman, Senior Governmental Affairs Advisor, provide a comprehensive update on a range of timely topics, spanning the Supreme Court’s IEEPA ruling aftermath and next steps for U.S. trade policy, ongoing nuclear policy negotiations with Iran, and the focuses of President Trump during the State of the Union address. Host: Daniel Cassidy
UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Trying to change perceptions'
US President Trump’s State of the Union address defended the past year, seeking to reset the economic narrative of the past year. As such, it is not especially market relevant—although so much of a focus on the domestic economy (perhaps in response to recent approval rating numbers) might be important in shaping future policy.
Top of the Morning: Quant Pathways - Quantitative equity investing
Our conversation focuses on considerations when it comes to quantitative equity investing, including a look a common misconceptions, how strategies help achieve better diversification, along with look at how investors benefit from combining quantitative strategies with other investment styles. Featured is Giuliano De Rossi, Head of Quants Equities, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'The state of the world'
US President Trump delivers a State of the Union address to Congress. Normally, these are not market moving, but investors will look for two things: will there be more tariff threats in the written remarks (which carry more weight than ad lib comments)?; how supportive of Trump will Congressional Republicans be? House Speaker Johnson suggested Congress would not vote to continue tariffs.
