Nick Bennenbroek
While the industry cannot be together for its usual NMMA Canada State of the Industry breakfast, NMMA Canada will be hosting a short virtual event to share some high-level data from 2020, and hear from our popular Wells Fargo economists.
This year’s event will feature Nick Bennenbroek, a managing director and head of Currency Strategy for Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. Nick offers foreign exchange markets analysis to help customers manage the risks and opportunities of operating and investing in these markets. He appears frequently on business television and in media such as Bloomberg and CNBC, and his research is often quoted in financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal.
More details on other guest speakers will be provided in early January.
