Joaquin Monfort is a financial editor and analyst with over 15 years experience working across financial media and fintech, including companies such as FXStreet and RavenPack as well as several market-leading brokers. His key focus has been on geopolitics, FX, banking stocks, alternative assets and commodities. He is interested in analysing how macroeconomic shifts and policy decisions impact on company performance and market valuations. He enjoys uncovering insights from data and blending fundamental, macro and technical indicators to craft compelling analytical pieces, looking for patterns across multiple sources rather than relying on only one narrative or approach. He uses this to build broader investment mosaics as well as to highlight investment opportunities and risks. He is especially interested in situations where market sentiment diverges from underlying fundamentals, as well as long-term structural trends that shape industries and asset prices. He has a strong background in technical analysis which provides valuable insights on market timing that fundamentals alone do not reveal. Of major interest is the analysis of complex sets of data, of posing questions and building models. He began writing for Seeking Alpha because he enjoys writing thoughtful, engaging, well-researched articles that challenge assumptions, encourage discussion and communicate actionable investment advice. He holds a BSc from London University, a Diploma from the STA and completed a Diploma in Journalism.
