Partner and Chief Economist, Apollo Global Management
Danish economist Torsten Sløk is chief economist at Apollo and probably the most quoted macro economist around right now. That is down to his cadence: he publishes a short note with a single chart almost every day, free and without registration. He drew wide attention by holding against the consensus that the US economy would not fall into recession after the 2022 rate hikes.
Where most names on this list speak a few times a year, Sløk delivers material almost daily. His charts show up across the financial press within hours, which makes him a useful early indicator of which theme is occupying the market that week.
