The next Fed chair

Meet Rob
I'm the US financial commentator for the Financial Times, and I write the award-winning Unhedged newsletter.
Since joining the FT in 2013, I've been the US financial editor, chief editorial writer, and editor of the Lex Column, the FT's flagship investment column. These days, my focus is on making sense of the ideas, people, and institutions that drive global markets — ideally with a mix of clarity, curiosity, and a little humour.
Listen
Every Tuesday and Thursday, I sit down with fellow FT markets nerds to make sense of what's happening in finance.
We pull apart the big stories moving markets, from interest rates and corporate drama to geopolitical shocks and investor manias. Expect sharp analysis, arguments, and the occasional attempt to understand Crypto.

OK, we got to the bit I'm actually paid to do. From Wall Street to the runway: I cover markets and dabble occasionally in men's style for the Financial Times. This is where you'll find my most in-depth analysis on the themes that matter (ties, hats, shorts etc. etc.).
Read me on ft.com, the FT app, or in print if you're old-school enough to pick up the paper.
