Racquel Oden, chair of the TMCF board and HSBC’s head of international wealth and premier banking, and head of global private banking, spoke about corporate earnings driving the market on Bloomberg’s Open Interest. Oden discussed corporate investment in artificial intelligence and the market’s reaction to the oil crisis.
