Alan Ruskin

Alan Ruskin is a Global Macro Strategist at Deutsche Bank, one of the world's largest FX dealers. His research focuses on the drivers of dollar dynamics, G10 currency movements, and the interaction between macro economic factors and currency markets. He has developed frameworks for understanding how safe haven currencies like the Japanese yen and Swiss franc behave during risk events, and how commodity currencies like the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar respond to commodity price cycles. His commentary on potential dollar turning points — particularly his analysis of when dollar strength or weakness might be driven by fundamental factors — is closely followed by institutional investors with significant FX exposure. His frameworks connecting Fed policy divergence, current account dynamics, and positioning data to near-term currency direction have provided traders and risk managers with actionable tools for navigating volatile foreign exchange markets.
