Energy Markets and Commodity Strategy by Tracy Shuchart
Tracy Shuchart is a senior market strategist specializing in energy, metals, and geopolitical risk, with over 20 years of experience across hedge funds and proprietary trading desks. She is currently a senior contributor at Hedge Fund Telemetry and serves as the macro strategist for a family office focused on commodity-linked investments.
In early 2025, Shuchart joined NinjaTrader Live as Senior Economist, where she produces weekly market briefings covering oil, inflation, and macroeconomic implications of digital currencies. She also hosts “Place Your Trades,” a podcast distributed across X Spaces and YouTube, where she regularly discusses CBDCs, Bitcoin reserve dynamics, and tokenized commodity futures.
Shuchart appeared on Coindesk’s “The Breakdown” and Fox Business in Q1 2025 to assess the role of crypto in global monetary competition. Though not a developer or direct investor in digital assets, she offers crucial macro context to crypto markets, often contrasting Bitcoin with gold, oil, and U.S. dollar liquidity cycles. Her influence is strongest among macro traders seeking a dual commodity-crypto thesis.
