BNP Paribas Adds to US Analyst Team

BNP Paribas has made two appointments in the US for its markets and economics division.

Guneet Dhingra has joined as head of US Rates strategy and James Egelhof as chief US economist for the bank’s Markets 360 product. Dhingra is responsible for coverage of US rates products, including Treasuries, swaps, inflation, and volatility and joins from 16 years at Morgan Stanley, where he held numerous roles within the Rates space, most recently as head of US Rates strategy.

Egelhof, meanwhile, is responsible for BNP Paribas’ coverage of the US economy, including forecasting growth, inflation, and monetary policy. Most recently, he led fundamental global macro research at Jane Street, and before entering the private sector, Egelhof spent a decade at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he led a quantitative multi-asset research team focused on monetary policy strategy and analysis of global markets. Both men are based in New York and will report to Calvin Tse who has been appointed head of Americas macro strategy and US economics, expanding his remit to include US economics.

“Guneet and James’ thought leadership and knowledge of US markets will be extremely valuable to the corporate and institutional clients and investors that we help navigate global markets,” says John Gallo, head of Global Markets Americas and global head of institutional client group at BNP Paribas. “Their expertise aligns with our ambition to provide best-in-class insights and strategies for our clients. These additions underscore our commitment to deepening our capabilities in the US market and delivering value to our clients worldwide.”

Luigi Speranza, head of Markets 360 and chief economist at BNP Paribas, adds, “The appointments of Guneet and James will enhance our ability to anticipate and respond to market developments. They have the skills and experience to provide our clients with sharp insights into the evolving market landscape, reinforcing BNP Paribas’ role as a trusted partner in an increasingly complex global economic and market environment.”
