Erik Norland, Managing Director and Chief Economist at CME Group, will examine opportunities and risks across major sectors and asset classes -- including technology stocks, artificial intelligence, gold, oil, and defensive positions -- and how global forces may shape investor sentiment through year-end.

The session will be moderated by Laith Akari, Risk Officer at Sahm Capital, who will facilitate the discussion and lead a live Q&A.

Feels like these webinars are everywhere now. But having Nasdaq and CME together is a good catch. Hope they address how rising U.S. rates might impact remittance-heavy economies back home.
Good initiative for investor education. But they could add more local context—many Indians working in Saudi want to understand how U.S. markets connect to their NRI investments and rupee volatility. 📊
Smart move by Sahm Capital—combining institutional expertise with retail investor access. The focus on cross-asset allocation for GCC investors is timely given the global rate environment.
Nice to see a live Q&A—that's where real value comes. Too many webinars just lecture. Let's hope they discuss the impact of U.S. election cycles on markets for H2 2026. 🤔
As an NRI in Dubai, this is relevant. But I wish they'd also talk about tax implications for non-residents investing in U.S. markets from the GCC. That's a blind spot in most such webinars.
Good to see a CMA-licensed firm doing this—adds credibility. But the 3:30 PM timing is a bit tight for those of us in India (IST). Hope
