Trader TV: Natixis IM Sounds Alarm on Critical Market Risks—What’s Next?

Wall Street's crystal ball looks cracked. Natixis Investment Managers just dropped a red flag on looming threats—while the rest of the herd naps at the wheel.

### The Hidden Landmines in Your Portfolio

Liquidity crunches. Geopolitical time bombs. Central banks playing whack-a-mole with inflation. Natixis isn’t sugarcoating the 2025 risk buffet—and neither should you.

### Why Traders Are Sleeping on Volatility

The VIX might be snoozing, but smart money’s loading up on hedges. When the ‘everything’s fine’ narrative collapses, guess who gets left holding the bag? (Spoiler: not the guys in custom suits.)

### The Cynic’s Take

Another day, another asset manager ‘warning’ about risks they helped create. Maybe next they’ll sell us the solution—for a 2% management fee.

While US and European markets have largely recovered from the latest round of tariff announcements and delays rolled out this July, Mabrouk Chetouane at Natixis Investment Managers, warns of key risks ahead. The head of market strategy shares his views on persistent US inflation and the impact on Federal Reserve cuts this year, he talks uncertainty over the Fed’s leadership, and discusses the threat of currency wars and the wider implications this could have on outflows, hedging costs, and market volatility.

Chetouane also unpacks how his team calculates volatility and adapts his investment models in unpredictable markets using Markov techniques and inputting monetary policy factors.
