Global Macro Trader and Financial Content Creator
“Weston is like a hybrid of The Daily Show + BloombergTV (but with sharper humor and insights).”
Born and raised in New York. Moved to Tokyo with one suitcase. Hired by Goldman off the streets (literally) to trade futures, options & listed derivatives, then to Jefferies Japan Equity Sales & Japan Macro Hedge Fund Sales.
Currently Global Markets Contributor at Real Vision, creating original content on global macro markets, and interviewing guests.
Specialize in identifying how and where Asia intersects with broader cross-asset markets globally, with emphasis on central bank policy analysis – namely the Bank of Japan. And often with a twist of (attempted) humor and entertainment.
