Incoming Intern: Resource to better understand macro events and how they affect investments in credit

Will be interning this summer at a credit shop. My undergrad is not in economics, and I would like to have a better grasp of macro policy's applications in the markets (in the credit markets in particular). Ideally this wouldn't necessarily be an entire textbook, but rather more of like a primer or summary type situation. Thank you in advance for any reccomendations.

 

I'd highly reccommend that you take Portfolio Trading Masterclass and/or the Portfolio Trading Forex Masterclass by the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management

It gives you some excellent building blocks for understanding the business cycle.  

Remember, the grass is always greener on the otherside because it's fertilized with bullshit.
