The Private Credit Fallout (thanks to Grok)

Banks have ~$300B+ in loans to private credit funds (Moody's, mid-2025 data), with JPM marking some down amid software strains. Insurers average 35% US portfolio exposure for yields (IMF/Moody's). Interconnections raise contagion risk if defaults spike (UBS downside: 15% on AI/software hits), but it's not systemic meltdown—regulators watching, many exposures managed. Gulf SWFs hit first per that article; banks/insurers next in line but buffered. Known: US banks' loans to private credit funds hit ~$300B as of June 2025 (Moody's/Fed data), plus $285B to PE & $340B unused commitments—part of $1.2T+ to non-bank lenders. PC "lends back" via synthetic risk transfers, partnerships (e.g. Citi-Apollo), & buying bank debt/securitisations. Unknown: Granular counterparty details, off-balance-s

From 2006 to today in 2026, the weight of pure value stocks has shrunk sharply from 26% to 11%, while the weight of pure growth stocks including the tech seven (Mag 7) has skyrocketed to 46%! The S&P 500 Index has essentially become a 'growth stock carrier' highly bound with AI capital expenditure and tech giants' profitability. As long as the AI capital expenditure cycle is still there, the profits of the tech giants can offset the recession of the traditional industry under inflation.

My Investing Muse Layoffs, closures and Delinquencies Americans are leaving the U.S. in record numbers, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries. - WSJ Meta layoffs could reportedly impact around 16,000 employees - MacroEdge Amazon made 2,847 engineers spend 8 months documenting every code pattern, every debugging workflow, every optimisation trick they'd learned over the years. Then fed it all to AI. Then, they fired them. No one saw it coming. The entire thing was disguised as something every senior engineer already does. Knowledge transfer. Best practices.

(Part 1 of 5) Economic Review (16Mar2026)

Economic Preview: Key Data Releases (week of 16Mar2026) Inflation Insights One key indicator for forecasting inflation trends is the Producer Price Index (PPI). For February, the PPI is expected to rise by 0.3%. This index is particularly valuable because increases in producer-level prices often translate into higher costs for consumers over time, helping us anticipate changes in consumer inflation. Crude Oil Inventory and Consumption Crude oil inventory serves as another important tool for predicting shifts in consumer behavior. Oil producers adjust their output based on anticipated demand, making inventory levels a useful gauge of overall economic consumption. Monitoring these figures can provide insights into the health of the broader economy. Upcoming Federal Reserve Decision The most

Which banks and private credit deny withdrawals (13Mar2026)

Summary of Financial Institutions Restricting Withdrawals in Private Credit As of March 13, 2026, several major players in the $1.8-2 trillion private credit industry have imposed restrictions on investor redemptions or related lending amid surging withdrawal requests, driven by concerns over liquidity mismatches, credit quality in sectors like software, and market dislocation. These measures primarily affect private credit funds rather than standard bank accounts, with no widespread bank run confirmed.  Key institutions include: BlackRock: Capped withdrawals at 5% for its $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund after requests reached 9.3% ($1.2 billion), fulfilling only $620 million. bloomberg.com Morgan Stanley: Limited redemptions to 5% for its $7.6-8 billion North Haven Private Inc

From my perspective, a spike in the Cboe Volatility Index $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ above the mid-20s during geopolitical tension often reflects fear-driven volatility rather than a structural bear market. Markets usually react quickly to headlines, so I focus on whether stress spreads to credit markets or if oil surges sharply. When volatility rises, I prefer option structures instead of aggressive directional bets. Richer premiums make strategies like a bear call spread on Invesco QQQ $Invesco QQ

Hormuz Half Shut, Markets on Edge: Why This Week Is Make or Break

Last week, we were expecting the situation in the Middle East to stay within a relatively controllable range and, as a result, for financial markets to remain broadly stable. However, judging from last Friday’s and early this week’s surge in oil prices, even though there are still no clear signs that the war has formally widened, the risk of it spinning out of control is already on the table. If, at this critical juncture, Trump still cannot come up with a credible exit plan, both financial markets and geopolitics may be hit by a new tsunami. The impact of oil prices on the global financial system and on people’s daily lives via inflation is self-evident. Yet in just a little over a week, we’ve seen a 60% spike in prices, while the key Strait of Hormuz remains in a state of abnormal, semi‑

From my perspective, the recent volatility shows how fragile sentiment can be when technical levels and macro risks collide. When the S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ hovers around a key level like 6,800, the options market can amplify moves quickly. In a negative gamma environment, once that level breaks, selling pressure can feed on itself, which also explains the sharp spike in the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ . That said, I don’t immediately see every sharp drop as the start of a long bear trend. Historically, early March tends to be a

February reminded me how quickly market narratives can shift. Early in the month the focus was AI momentum, but geopolitical tensions quickly pushed investors toward safe-haven assets. It reinforced the importance of portfolio balance—having some exposure to assets like gold or commodities can help cushion sudden volatility. The reaction to NVIDIA $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ was also a good lesson. Even with strong results, the stock dropped because expectations were already very high. In fast-growing sectors like AI, sentiment and positioning often matter as much as fundamentals. For me, the priority is protecting profits and staying diversified. If geopolitical risks per
