Zentner will be responsible for providing in-depth analysis and research on macro-economic trends affecting the US economy, while also proactively identifying and communicating anomalies in market data which signal important economic shifts.

Before joining Nomura, Zentner was senior US Macro Economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, based in New York, covering macro-economic forecasting, policy and financial market analysis.

 

Nomura global head of fixed income research Michael Guarnieri said that he believes Ellen’s ability to provide forecasts and instantaneous advice to Nomura’s clients as well as firm’s own sales and trading teams will be a valuable complement to the global economics franchise.

The addition of Zentner to cover US economics enhances Nomura’s global economics research team, which currently comprises over 30 economists covering Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America.
