Macroeconomic policy and financial markets are in a seemingly eternal karmic cycle now. Central banks know
their policies move markets, so they strive to balance transparency with caution. They aim to provide credible
guidance, while markets remain wary and reactive, picking up cues from the myriad central bank policy actions
and communications. The March 2024 Bank of International Settlements Quarterly Report noted that while
market participants hoped for easier liquidity, central banks stayed cautious due to persistent inflation. Policy
rate uncertainty affects all asset classes, especially bond prices.

What can markets expect from policymakers in the future? In this volatile environment, managing market
fluctuations is a core skill for treasury managers and traders. Technical analysis, with its robust toolkit of
volatility indicators, trend analysis, and pattern recognition, helps navigate these conditions by enabling
informed decision making amidst uncertainty.

This conference brings together experts in macroeconomics, policymaking, and technical analysis to explore these questions. Attendees will learn how to leverage technical analysis to anticipate market movements and adapt to changing economic landscapes.
