Episode 17 - Justin Slaughter, Partner, Mercury Strategies

Author: 360 Trading Networks September 8, 2020 Duration: 17:36
The upcoming US presidential election could prove to be a crucial fork in the road when it comes to financial regulation, explains Justin Slaughter, a partner at Mercury Strategies. In this episode he talks about the potential for the politicisation of US regulatory agencies, the extent to which international cooperation on financial rules could be jeopardized and whether or not geopolitical conflicts around trade and technology could be replicated within financial markets.

Drawing from its unique position as a technology provider at the heart of the global foreign exchange market, the 360T Podcast Series opens a direct channel to the expertise flowing through international financial institutions. Each conversation in this podcast is built on the daily interactions 360 Trading Networks has with a diverse spectrum of professionals, aiming to distill their collective insight on the world's largest asset class. You'll hear unfiltered exchanges where seasoned industry voices discuss the nuances, challenges, and evolving dynamics of FX trading and technology. Rather than offering broad overviews, the series delves into specific fragments of knowledge that are often only shared between experts. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like gaining access to a candid dialogue among peers, where practical experience takes center stage. This podcast serves as an ongoing forum, translating the complex realities of the foreign exchange ecosystem into accessible discussions for anyone keen to understand the forces shaping modern finance.
