AscentXmedia/E+ via Getty Images From the days of Charles Dickens and his characters like David Copperfield, the world has come a long way in providing a modern way of life. The biggest innovation in the last 200 years hasn’t been in technology but in the idea of payable work. The main theme has been that anyone willing to work should be able to get work that can pay living wages. Many jobs seem repetitive and boring but are providing people a livelihood. However, now in 2026, AI is threatening it. While the US economy supports the world economy, it is the US consumer who acts as the fulcrum to support both the US economy and the US government. While increasing spending by consumers year over year keeps the economy and stock market up, different taxes paid by consumers support local, state, and federal governments. Combined US consumer spending has increased both due to population growth and increasingly disposable income. 2026 is witnessing an impact on both the number of consumers (due to falling population and lower immigration) as well as the strength of consumers due to high inflation, higher oil prices, and lower employment opportunities. Besides mass layoffs caused by large companies, people are finding that their spending ability is getting impacted by high inflation and lower wage growth (again due to AI-based automation). Despite starting with good intentions of making the country industrially competitive and securing long-term peace, the US administration is facing challenges in many areas, e.g.: Tariffs vs. Inflation Tariffs can help in the competitiveness of US factory products, but they have an inflationary impact Tariffs vs. US Supreme court ruling While US administration tried to give a competitive advantage to US-manufactured goods via tariffs against foreign goods, the US Supreme Court has ruled against it War with Iran and Oil prices While US administration wanted to destroy Iran’s nuclear and long-range ballistic missile program in a short war, t...

Retired Marine Corps Major General Mastin Robeson said that increased troops sent to the MidEast means that the US has 'positioned sufficient assets' to be able to enact leverage over negotiations to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the war with Iran. Robeson also discussed how the war has impacted the US relationship with China, as Xi moves to invite Taiwan's opposition leader for a meeting ahead of the scheduled Trump, Xi meeting in May.

jittawit.21 The surge in redemption requests from private credit funds is forcing managers to slow their expansion as they grapple with liquidity demands from retail investors, according to Ken Kencel, president and CEO of Churchill Asset Management. Kencel expects this trend to persist “for several quarters as funds deal with those redemption requests,” particularly impacting managers with heavy retail investor exposure. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Kencel explained that investors are now scrutinizing the composition of fund investor bases during due diligence. “How much of your portfolio or how much of your investor base is institutional versus retail? How reliant are you? How are these redemption requests going to impact your portfolio?” Kencel said, noting these were among the first questions he received during recent meetings with institutional investors in Asia. The divide between institutional and retail backing is becoming a critical differentiator in the market. Kencel pointed out that some managers have raised capital that is 60% retail, making them vulnerable when investors seek liquidity. By contrast, Churchill’s portfolios are 96% institutional and only 4% retail, positioning them more favorably amid the current pressures. Private wealth platforms overseeing retail capital are now becoming more selective, increasingly seeking managers with significant institutional validation. This shift is creating new opportunities for historically institutional managers to expand into the retail space while redemption-heavy competitors step back from the market. The pressures are creating favorable conditions for core middle-market lenders like Churchill. Kencel noted that spreads are widening by 25 to 50 basis points for new loans, and “the runway of opportunities expands… since you have pressure on kind of the large cap and the private credit managers that focused on those large cap names.” External factors are also shaping the outlook, with Middle East insta...

The biggest near-term risk for stocks may be rising interest rates — not oil. Higher bond yields and increased expectations for tighter monetary policy are putting pressure on stock valuations, which have already dropped due to rising energy prices. This could be because markets have priced in a scenario where oil supply is constrained but does not trigger a recession, according to Morgan Stanley chief U.S. equity strategist Michael Wilson. He said there is growing evidence the S & P 500 correction is nearing its ending stages. There has been significant damage "under the surface" in markets with over 50% of the stocks in the Russell 3000 index down more than 20% — bear market territory — while the S & P 500 's forward price-to-earnings multiple for the next 12-months has declined 17%, matching "prior growth scares in the absence of a recession or the Fed hiking," Wilson said in a note to clients. .SPX 3M mountain S & P 500 performance over the past three months He noted the negative correlation between interest rates and stocks, meaning stocks decline in value when yields rise, is about as high as it's been in several years. He cited the 4.5% level in the 10-year Treasury yield as the point where it really begins to affect stock valuations. The "re-pricing of fed funds futures toward a more hawkish outcome" along with higher rates is what Wilson sees as the bigger risk for stocks in the near-term. The 10-year yield climbed as high as 4.48% on Friday before closing at 4.44%, while the S & P 500 closed lower by 1.7%. One basis point equals 0.01%, and yields move inversely to prices. On Monday, the broad index opened 0.5% higher as yields fell. The 10-year yield retreated by 9 basis points to 4.35%, but the S & P 500 index eventually succumbed to higher oil prices closing down by 0.4%. Brent crude, the global benchmark, is pacing for a record monthly gain on 55%. The decrease in yields followed comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during a talk at Harvard...

Although the Trump administration approved Nexstar Media Group’s $6.2 billion purchase of Tegna, a US judge has ordered the two companies to stop integrating their assets and operations. US District Judge Troy Nunley, an Obama appointee, issued a temporary restraining order on Friday prohibiting integration of the companies until further rulings by the court. "Defendants must immediately cease all ongoing actions relating to integration and consolidation of Nexstar and Tegna," wrote Nunley, the chief judge in US District Court for the Eastern District of California. Nunley said he agrees with plaintiff DirecTV that immediate integration of the merging firms could eliminate competition, result in newsroom layoffs and shutdowns, and make it more difficult to divest Tegna stations if the court ends up requiring a divestiture after reviewing the merger. DirecTV has established that "the Nexstar-TEGNA merger will substantially lessen competition in markets in which it participates," and that there would be irreparable harm if a restraining order isn't issued, Nunley wrote.

美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示，在伊朗战争结束后，美国可能需要重新评估与北约的关系，他声称该军事联盟在中东冲突期间对美方“缺乏支持”，令人“非常失望”。 鲁比奥批评北约成员国拒绝向美方开放军事基地，此前美国总统特朗普曾指责北约盟友是“懦夫”，并称该联盟是“纸老虎”。 “在这次行动结束后，总统和我们的国家将不得不重新审视这一切，”鲁比奥在接受半岛电视台采访时表示，“如果北约仅仅意味着在他们受攻击时我们来保卫欧洲，而当我们需要时，他们却拒绝向我们提供基地使用权，那就不是一个很好的安排。这种关系很难维持下去。” 北约成员国大多拒绝了特朗普关于协助恢复霍尔木兹海峡通航的要求。自2月底以来，这条能源运输要道基本处于关闭状态，推动油气价格飙升。 “这次行动结束后，海峡将会开放，无论通过何种方式，”鲁比奥表示。“它之所以能开放，要么是伊朗同意遵守国际法、不再封锁商业航道，要么是由美国参与的全球及地区国家联盟将确保其开放，”他补充称。 当美国能够借助盟友的地理优势时 —— 包括德国的物流枢纽、英国的空军基地、西班牙的海军设施，以及顺畅的领空通行权 —— 就能最有效地向中东投射力量。 “没有美国，就没有北约，”鲁比奥表示。他曾在担任参议员期间长期支持该联盟。“联盟必须是互利的。不能是单行道。希望我们能够解决这个问题。” 他补充道，伊朗战争后，“我们将有时间来处理这件事”。 责任编辑：李桐

Melpomenem/iStock via Getty Images The business development company ( BIZD ) sector has been under pressure recently amid an avalanche of negative headlines directed at the private credit industry. In particular, there are mounting concerns that the managers of these funds, like Blackstone ( BX ), Ares Management ( ARES ), and several others, may not be marking their books completely accurately. Also, there is a wave of negative press hitting the industry for withdrawals accelerating from private funds. These two media flashpoints are causing public markets also to doubt the attractiveness of the investment portfolios of publicly traded BDCs, which has led the sector lower and caused numerous externally managed BDCs to trade at large discounts to their reported net asset value. Moreover, the Fed's rate cuts in recent quarters have put pressure on net investment income levels, while significant repayments in the portfolios of many of these companies, combined with tightening spreads, have led to further pressure on the NII per share. This has all led to several BDCs cutting their dividends. When you put all this together with a spike in energy ( XLE ) prices due to the war in Iran raising stagflation concerns, the sector is clearly out of favor today. With this in view, I think that stock buybacks by externally managed BDCs are more important than ever and are one of the most important metrics to look at when determining whether or not to buy an externally managed BDC today. In this article, I will detail why and share some examples of companies that are buying back stock that I think are worth buying right now. The Single Most Important Metric Right Now So why are stock buybacks so important right now? There are three big reasons for this: First, with spreads tightening and stocks for virtually all externally managed BDCs trading at steep discounts to asset value, it is increasingly hard to make the case that allocating capital towards new loans is more prudent than...

受中东冲突引发的能源价格冲击影响，一项衡量美元的指数周一走强，本月累计涨幅接近3%。在日本官员口头干预后，日元也上涨。 彭博美元指数周一上涨0.3%；如果涨势能够保持，该指数将迎来自2022年9月以来表现最好的一个月。 美以军队继续推进对伊朗的攻击，同时伊朗在整个波斯湾发射导弹，尚无和平协议即将达成的迹象，这导致油价再次上涨。 美元也受到月末和季度末资金流动的支撑 “我正在等待欧元/美元和澳元/美元的最后一波抛售，届时我将对一切获利了结，”Spectra Markets总裁Brent Donnelly表示，“我认为步入月底会出现一些美元需求，但这可能就是美元的峰值了”。 美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔表示，长期通胀预期似乎得到了控制。 美元/日元下跌0.4%至159.67，盘中早些时候一度升至160.46，创2024年7月以来的最高水平。 日本外汇事务负责人三村淳表示，如果当前状况持续，当局可能需要在外汇市场采取大胆行动。 瑞穗银行资深策略师Masayuki Nakajima在一份报告中写道，“日本的外汇政策一贯避免公式化规则，而是倾向于依据当时的市场状况进行酌情判断。这种立场本身就在刻意降低可预测性”。 欧元/美元下跌0.5%至1.1457；欧元连续第五个交易日走低，创2月中旬以来最长连跌。 “尽管近期市场对欧洲央行将采取更积极行动的预期支撑了欧元，但市场对加息的押注似乎过度，”德国商业银行商品和外汇研究主管Thu Lan Nguyen表示，“只要战争持续，欧元就恐面临不利局面；而一旦战争结束，美元很可能重回贬值路径”。 随着伊朗战争影响范围不断扩大，风险情绪恶化，澳元/美元下跌0.4%至0.6845，为1月以来最低；澳元连续七个交易日下跌，为2024年7月以来首次，在岸和离岸账户均削减了多头头寸。 美元/加元上涨0.3%至1.3928。 责任编辑：李桐
