Jens Nordvig – Fed Independence and the next market repricing

About this episode

Jens Nordvig joins the hosts to discuss the implications of Fed independence on markets and investment strategies.

What happens when Fed independence isn't a given? Jens Nordvig (Founder & CEO, Exante Data; Co-Founder & CEO, MarketReader) joins Dustin Reid and Prerna Mathews to unpack the collision of politics, the courts, and the central bank. They discuss what it could mean for rates, the dollar, and broader risk appetite as challenges to the Fed’s independence intensify. Dustin and Prerna close with investment takeaways: how to think about AI exposure beyond mega-cap tech, and why global diversification and FX hedging may matter more in the next regime. Tune in for macro risks, cross-asset signals, and portfolio implications. This episode was recorded on February 24, 2026.
