ME Markets Editor
Mara Ellison runs the markets desk, setting daily coverage across equities, Treasuries and the flows that connect them. She spent nine years on a fixed income sales desk before moving into journalism, and still reads the auction calendar before she reads the headlines. Her weekly positioning note tracks where risk has quietly moved rather than where the index closed.

DO Chief Economics Correspondent
Daniel Okonjo covers the macro data cycle, from payrolls and CPI prints to the revisions almost nobody reads. He worked as a forecaster at a macro research shop and later at a sovereign wealth fund's economics unit, where he learned to distrust any single month of data. He writes the desk's guide to every major release, published the evening before it lands.
Washington, DC/ 6 stories/ Inflation measurement, Labour market data, Fiscal policy
PR Companies Editor
Priya Raghunathan edits company coverage, with a bias toward the balance sheet over the press release. She spent six years as a credit analyst covering industrials and consumer issuers, and reads a cash flow statement faster than most people read a chart. Her reporting focuses on refinancing walls, covenant terms and the gap between adjusted earnings and cash.
New York/ 6 stories/ Credit analysis, Earnings quality, Leveraged finance
SV Europe Correspondent
Soren Vinter reports on European markets from Frankfurt, covering the banks, the bund curve and the politics that move both. Before joining the desk he spent seven years in bank equity research at a Nordic brokerage, where he covered lenders through two capital cycles. He is fluent in the footnotes of a European bank disclosure, which is more useful than it sounds.

JR Technology and Semiconductors
Julian Reyes covers the semiconductor supply chain and the capital spending cycle behind it, from wafer starts to power contracts. He worked as a supply chain analyst at an electronics manufacturer before spending four years at a technology research firm modelling fab capacity. He is more interested in lead times and depreciation schedules than in product launches.
San Francisco/ 5 stories/ Semiconductor supply chain, Data centre capex, Enterprise software margins
NF Digital Assets Correspondent
Naomi Feld covers digital assets as a market rather than a movement, tracking custody, settlement, stablecoin reserves and where institutional money actually sits. She spent five years in post-trade operations at a clearing firm and two more at a digital asset custody startup before turning to reporting. She treats on-chain data as a source to be verified, not a source of truth.
New York/ 3 stories/ Stablecoin reserves, Custody and settlement, On-chain data analysis
CN Policy and Central Banks
Clara Nwosu follows central banks and the rulemaking that shapes how capital is priced, from reserve requirements to bank liquidity ratios. She worked as a policy analyst at a financial regulator and later at a banking trade body, which taught her how slowly a consultation paper becomes a binding rule. She reads meeting minutes for the dissents.
London/ 6 stories/ Monetary policy frameworks, Bank regulation, Central bank balance sheets
AB Editor-at-Large
Arthur Benn writes the house column, connecting the week's market action to the longer record of how these episodes tend to end. He spent two decades running money, first on a global macro book and then as chief investment officer at a mid-sized endowment, before he started writing full time. His column argues a position and dates it, so readers can check the call later.
New York/ 5 stories/ Financial history, Macro strategy, Portfolio construction
