Hi all, 

I want you to rank the following Banks based on the strength of their Rates/FX (Macro) desk in USA and in Asia:

Nomura

BAML

Goldman Sachs

Morgan Stanley

JP Morgan

HSBC

Deutsche Bank

Citi Bank

Credit Suisse

Barclays

UBS

BNP Paribas

It would be great if you could give your answers in the following format:

USA - Bank A>BankB>and so on

Reasons are your ranking are more than welcome. But remember not to be biased towards your place of work or other factors that can prevent you from thinking rationally.
