    Lee Ferridge, State Street: Is the Traditional FX Playbook Breaking Down?

    Geopolitical tensions are rising, central banks have shifted dramatically towards higher rates and long-term bond yields continue to climb. Yet FX volatility remains remarkably subdued. Why have currency markets stayed so calm—and what could finally trigger a genuine regime shift? In this episode of the 360T Podcast, Lee Ferridge, Head of Macro Strategy at State Street, explores the forces shaping global currency markets and explains what State Street’s proprietary institutional-flow and positioning data reveal about investor behaviour. Ferridge examines whether the much-discussed “sell America” trade is actually visible in the data, why foreign investors have not increased their hedging of US assets as much as expected, and whether the dollar’s position as the world’s dominant reserve currency is genuinely being eroded. He also considers the outlook for the yen following coordinated intervention by the US and Japan — and explains why intervention alone cannot overcome the underlying influence of interest-rate differentials and unhedged investment flows. The conversation also explores why abundant liquidity and resilient equity markets have continued to suppress FX volatility, how rising long-end yields could disrupt that dynamic, and why relative equity-market performance is becoming increasingly important to currency forecasting as traditional valuation models lose influence. Ferridge contrasts the lack of sustained trends in G10 with the compelling carry and currency appreciation available across parts of emerging markets, before identifying the risks that investors may not be fully pricing — including debt sustainability, weakening consumers and the possibility of a renewed surge in oil prices. A wide-ranging conversation about the dollar, the yen, institutional positioning, changing forecasting frameworks and where the next major FX market moves could come from.

    Stephen Flanagan: Where Is the Human Edge in a World of Automated FX Trading?

    Algorithms can react in microseconds, process vast amounts of data and execute thousands of trades at a scale no human could match. But can they sense when the market regime is changing? And can AI ever replicate the intuition of an experienced trader? In this episode of the 360T Podcast, FX industry veteran Stephen Flanagan explores the evolving relationship between human judgment and automation in modern FX trading. With a career spanning more than four decades — including as Executive Director and Global FX e-Commerce Risk Manager at J.P. Morgan — Flanagan has witnessed the market’s transformation from human-led trading to sophisticated automation firsthand. He examines whether trader intuition is simply data we haven’t learned to measure yet, why algorithms can struggle when familiar market patterns suddenly break, and how both humans and machines can be vulnerable to bias. For Flanagan, the future isn’t about choosing between humans and machines. It’s about harnessing the strengths of both. Algorithms bring speed, scale and disciplined execution; humans bring contextual judgment, regime awareness and oversight. The key is building the right “harness” around increasingly powerful technology — allowing machines to do what they do best while keeping human experience firmly in the loop. A fascinating conversation about AI, trader intuition and why the future of FX trading may depend less on choosing between humans and machines, and more on learning how to make them work together.

Santhosh discusses the complexities of managing FX exposure across exotic markets, the dynamic hedging strategies required in an era of constant geopolitical volatility, and how technology and proper tooling unlock the visibility needed to operate at scale. He also shares how treasury performance can be measured and communicated to senior stakeholders through concrete metrics spanning FX P&L, hedging costs, and liquidity efficiency.

From artificial intelligence and automation to shifting market structure and the rise of new participants, he shares how the GFXC is approaching these developments to ensure the Code remains relevant, practical, and forward-looking. He also offers a unique perspective on the continued electronification of the Mexican FX market, the growing global significance of the peso, and the role of technology in driving greater transparency, efficiency, and resilience across FX trading.
