Did OPEC just make the Fed's job harder? Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Real Vision Daily Briefing.

With me today is Mustafa Chaudhary, Chief Rates Strategist at Micro-Hi.

Hi, Mustafa. How are you? Very well, Maggie. Thanks for having me on your show.

We're thrilled to have you and welcome to the Daily Briefing.

It's the first time you've been on with us. So before we jump in,

why don't you just tell us a little bit about the area that you focus on?

Yes, good question to start with. I focus on Rates.

I have a background on in Rates either Rates business and both Rates business and Rates research for last 30 years at various roles.

At Deutsche Bank, I was head of Rates research at Voya Investments, ING, where I was also head of Rates.

Rates is what I focus, which basically means the interest rates, yield curve, vol, swap options, all of that.

Oh, it's a good day to have you on because there's not been too much happening in that part of the universe.

It's been, it has been, we've been seeing moves and things happening to the yield curve that are really unprecedented as many of our guests have talked about.

So we're lucky for us that we have you here today.

So if you, by the way, obviously everyone knows the drill, we're going to take questions.

So go ahead and put them in the chat and we'll get to as many as we can.

But just keep in mind that Mustafa's area is rate. So hold off on any of those real specific questions about equities, I think, for this time.
