Most people believe the private-credit mess has gone away – because that’s what you’re led to believe. It has been roughly a year since Tricolor and First Brands became the warning signs—the first cockroaches suggesting something much larger might be hiding inside the walls of private lending. And because there hasn’t been a dramatic collapse since then, the assumption is that the industry absorbed the losses, restricted a few withdrawals, and moved on.

But the truth is almost the exact opposite.

Everyone believes the energy shock is about oil. It isn’t. The most important price in energy today isn’t really the price of crude. It is the difference between crude oil and the fuel made from it—a number known as the crack spread.

And for diesel, that spread has absolutely exploded to record highs. Now what?

J-Hole jolted the markets, only to have Warsh's J-Hole narrative jolted right back with JOLTS. Caught in between are interest rates which nobody seems to have a handle on even though the answers are right there in Treasury Secretary Bessent's words and the latest European inflation.

Is China trying to bail out it's beleaguered real estate market? That seems to be the case with the latest schemes aimed at stabilizing the sector. The timing isn't a surprise nor is the degree of help Beijing aims to offer given the state of banks and the economy over there.

Japan just spent $100 billion rescuing the yen. Not over several years. Not during some historic financial crisis. In less than one month. This wasn’t just Japan acting alone, either. But now the yen is right back down past 160 again. What does this mean...for the dollar?

https://eurodollar-university.com/home-page-self-serve

There’s a signal flashing in the financial system right now—and almost every investor is looking in the wrong place. They’re watching the Federal Reserve. They’re watching inflation reports. They’re reacting to tariffs, energy prices, employment numbers and whatever headline happens to dominate the financial news that day.

But the monetary system itself is communicating something different. Figure how to find and decipher what it's been saying.

What is happening inside Mark Walter’s financial empire - which until recently included the LA Lakers - has the potential to blow the lid off the entire private credit story - if not the whole debt cycle. A billion-dollar loan connected to Guggenheim Investments is trading at roughly 73 cents on the dollar, a price normally associated with serious distress. And that's only where this crazy story begins.

You may not realize it, but the grocery business is about to get into a price war. Big chains like Kroger and Aldi, along with Walmart, are setting up for to outbid each other for your food spending. That’s great news for consumers until you realize why the retailers are doing this – because of consumers.

Ray Dalio says the United States is approaching a debt crisis, or maybe is already in one. The government knows UST demand is becoming a problem, so the argument goes, and it is quietly trying to control the bond market with buybacks before the situation gets out of control.

But what you probably don’t know is that there are ways to test Ray Dalio’s warning. We did.

Walmart's stock got punished this week for confirming what the mainstream said was impossible. And it wasn't the only retail giant to gently sound the alarm. For all the talk of "resilience", it isn't found in these latest reports - nor the bond market.
