MUST FOLLOW TWITTER FEEDS ON MARKETS AND THE ECONOMY

A compilation of 10 essential accounts to follow on Twitter to stay up to date
with current economic events.

TWITTER – A DYNAMIC SOURCE OF NEWS AND OPINIONS ON CURRENT EVENTS

Twitter has surely come a long way since it was first launched in 2006. It has
gained ground as a useful and prominent thread within the social media ecosystem
not only for the professionals looking to make connections but also for
individuals, corporations, and groups from the political and academic spectrum.
There is no denying that Twitter is especially a unique platform when it comes
to the immediacy of communication. In fact, even world leaders use Twitter to
capture the minds and hearts of their followers. Former President Barack Obama
is still the most followed world leader with almost 130 million followers,
followed by Pope Francis and current US President Joe Biden, with 18.8 million
and 13.2 million followers respectively (source: Twitter, August 2021).

On top of that, we have seen the emergence of finance and economy tweets with
economists and investment companies releasing major news, updates, and insights
about where they think the economy is headed. Who could forget about Donald
Trump posting about the China trade war, Fed, oil prices, sanctions, and many
more that sometimes caused unforeseen jumps in the markets? Or how Elon Musk’s
tweet about Tesla potentially allowing Bitcoin transactions sent the digital
currency nearly surging 10% and then another tweet saying he’s fallen out of
love with Bitcoin caused it to plummet and affected other cryptocurrencies
beyond BTC. After the implementation of some new rules, Twitter has made it
harder for these types of messages to spread in order to keep the tweets from
becoming algorithmically elevated. Twitters’ new rule targets verified users
with more than 100,000 followers who are government officials or running for
public office, marking a shift in Twitter’s response to how it handles tweets
from world leaders.


10 MUST FOLLOW TWITTER ACCOUNTS

This brings me to my favorite list of Twitter accounts that I make a habit of
reading before I start my day. The curated list here reflects my own
preferences/interests. I have narrowed down the list to 10 essentials that I
believe could also be informative, engaging, insightful, and entertaining for
you; all tried-and-true in the past years.


1. ZERO HEDGE

@zerohedge: Rising to fame following the 2008 financial crisis, Zerohedge to its
fans is a top-notch financial blogger and aggregator of financial news, but to
its critics, it is a controversial account that spreads conspiracy theories
mostly authored by Tyler Durden. He is a fictional, nihilistic protagonist of
the film Fight Club, hence Zerohedge’s website/Twitter account’s branding
featuring Brad Pitt’s shirtless image. For me one of Zero Hedge’s main appeals
is that they want to “widen the scope of financial, economic and political
information available to the professional investing public.”. Unlike WSJ or
Bloomberg, its content is free and instantly accessible for all without the
trial versions and subscription inquiries. While Zero Hedge’s mission is to
increase the public’s awareness of financial, economic, and political issues,
they also educate readers in an effort to help them make informed decisions.
However, as this is not the place to get tips for investments, I would advise
using reader discretion.


2. CHARLIE BILELLO

@charliebilello: Charlie is the Founder and CEO of Compound Capital Advisors.
His chart-heavy and market stat tweets are regularly among the top-performing
finance tweets and if you are seeking objective, faster and reliable research
about the markets this is the account to follow.


3. MOHAMMED EL-ERIAN

@elerianm: With 402K followers, Mohammed, in his intro describes himself as
President, Queens’ College, Cambridge University, Advisor to Allianz and
Gramercy, Wharton Professor, Lauder Institute Senior Fellow, Bloomberg, and FT
columnist. He is the author of the New York best sellers, “The Only Game in
Town” and “When Markets Collide”. Whether you agree or disagree with his
thoughts, his unique gift for clarity and the use of compelling examples make
important and complex economic issues accessible to everyone through his tweets.
When he’s not tweeting about the markets, he also weighs in on a variety of
other topics, including his beloved New York Jets.


4. YARDENI RESEARCH

@yardeni: This is easily my favorite Twitter account to follow for a daily dose
of unbiased and research-driven statistics covering a broad range of markets and
the analysis of economic fields. Dr. Yardeni, who is the President and Chief
Investment Strategist of Yardeni Research, offers an extensive resource that
provides short excerpts from the research service of his company. This is a
truly valuable and free tool for beginners, students, and professionals alike
that you won’t want to miss.


5. GOLDMAN SACHS

@GoldmanSachs: The investment banking giant finally opened up to Twitter in 2011
and they’re fairly good at it. They tweet out insightful outlooks and snippets
of research from their Chief Strategists on anything from monetary policies and
inflation to Asian credit strategies and global EV markets while they take some
funny swipes at certain news publications.


6. ST LOUIS FED

@stlouisfed: Far and away the best Tweeter of all the Feds. This is the account
for anyone who wants to follow the macro indicators and FRED charts like a hawk.
The tweets are insightful, thought-provoking, and occasionally humorous.


7. ROBIN BROOKS

@RobinBrooksIIF: Robin Brooks is the Chief Economist at IIF (Institute of
International Finance) and previously the Chief FX Strategist at Goldman Sachs.
As you would expect, he tweets about the markets and the economy and also shares
smart insights succinctly about emerging markets and currencies.


8. JEFFREY GUNDLACH

@TruthGundlach: Gundlach is the Founder of DoubleLine. In 2011, he appeared on
the cover of Barron’s as “The New Bond King”. In 2013, Institutional Investor
named him “Money Manager of the Year”. With 183,500 followers, his tweets keep
you on top of the bond markets. Between posts about U.S. Treasuries, he’ll give
you bite-sized insights into what foreign yields and the Fed are doing too. His
posts are sporadic, but when he does tweet, he is straight to the point. He also
talks about his beloved Buffalo Bills in a rather casual and informal tone.


9. CHRISTINE LAGARDE

@Lagarde: As we all know, Lagarde is a French politician, economist, and lawyer
serving as President of the European Central Bank, since 1 November 2019. In the
Twitter account she manages with her team, she tweets (occasionally in her
mother tongue, French) about anything relating to ECB, Eurozone, live
conferences, G-20 meetings, climate change efforts, and the list goes on and on.
A must-follow for those who want to stay on top of the European economy. On
Twitter and beyond, she helps women take charge by encouraging and empowering
female leadership, be it through equal pay or gender equality.


10. STEVE HANKE

@steve_hanke: Steve H. Hanke is an applied economist at Johns Hopkins University
in Baltimore, Maryland. He is also a Senior Fellow and Director of the Troubled
Currencies Project at the libertarian Cato Institute in Washington, DC. Over
four decades Hanke has advised dozens of world leaders from Ronald Reagan to
Indonesia’s Suharto on currency reforms, infrastructure development,
privatization, and how to tame hyperinflation. He shares his views on the
current economic affairs on Twitter whilst aiding traders in FX and commodities.
He tweets about world stock markets. He talks about various commodities in the
stock market and the reason their values go up or down. He captured my heart and
attention when he started tweeting Ataturk’s quotes about science and
sovereignty and I have been a big fan ever since.

With over 180 million accounts on Twitter, there are at least a dozen that will
reflect your interests, however, the trouble is finding them all at once. That
said, I would consider myself lucky if this list could be of any guidance to
you, whether it is to get breaking news, timely expert insights, or to keep an
eye on the ebbs and flows of the financial markets. Once you start following
these accounts, you will begin to see recommendations for other users with
similar content which should help you more. Now go find somebody to follow, you
never know who you might discover!
