It was a pleasure to be quoted by The Banker in their insightful article “100 Days of Trump: US President Takes a Swing at the Global Order”.

Few moments shake global finance as deeply as political turmoil. In my comments I reflected on how upheaval has swiftly become the defining theme across financial markets with investment banks particularly exposed to growing unpredictability. Long-held assumptions about trade, regulation and cross-border capital flows are being upended almost overnight and uncertainty is embedding itself into decision-making at every level of global finance.

The article captures clearly the disruption triggered by the Trump administration’s policies and the fragility of global finance when political certainties are suddenly questioned. It recognises that finance, despite its current sophistication and scale, ultimately rests on trust, consistent rules of engagement and, most importantly, predictability.

Today it is quite clear these initial “100 day” shocks are unfortunately not simply passing disturbances. They are signs of much deeper underlying structural change. Recent events mark a turning point and the fault lines they have opened up are reshaping the global order in ways we are only beginning to understand.
