Economics & Policy Contributor, Global Markets Review
Rachel Monroe is an economics and policy contributor at Global Markets Review, writing on US fiscal policy, inflation, labour markets, trade, and the regulatory environment facing American businesses.
She focuses on connecting developments in Washington and the wider economy with their implications for companies, consumers, and financial markets.
Rachel's policy work distinguishes political proposals, enacted measures and economic outcomes. Fiscal announcements, trade actions and regulatory changes are followed through to the sectors, consumers and listed companies that actually bear the cost or benefit.
She also keeps the macro evidence behind policy debates in view. Inflation, labour and trade data are tied to their reporting period and revision status, and her analysis makes clear when an argument rests on a forecast rather than a result already visible in the economy.
Rachel Monroe holds no positions in individual securities covered by Global Markets Review.
