财联社4月2日讯（记者 邹俊涛） 又一家股份行惠誉评级跻身“A-”行列。 4月1日，惠誉评级发布报告，将中信银行的长期外币发行人违约评级（IDR）从“BBB+”上调至“A-”，展望稳定。4月2日，惠誉评级又将其子公司中信银行国际的长期发行人主体评级从“BBB+”上调至“A-”，展望稳定。 财联社记者从业内了解到，当前“A-”是惠誉为国内股份银行给出的最高评级等级，另一家获此评级为招商银行。在此之上，工商银行、农业银行、中国银行、建设银行、交通银行等五家国有大型银行惠誉评级为“A”。 某券商银行业分析师今日与财联社记者交流认为，此次中信银行评级上调，可视为国际评级机构对中资头部银行信用修复趋势的延续性确认。“从2025年开始，惠誉已陆续将五家国有大行以及招商银行的评级展望从‘负面’调升至‘稳定’”。 关于评级上调，中信银行今日回应财联社记者表示，此举体现国际评级机构对中信银行良好经营业绩、清晰经营逻辑和深厚经营潜力的认可，有助于中信银行进一步提升其在国际资本市场的信用形象和投资者认可度。 中信银行惠普评级上调至“A-”，与招行并列股份行最高等级 关于上调中信银行相关评级原因，惠誉在报告中表示，主要是基于中信银行良好的经营业绩、强劲的股东支撑和系统重要性水平。 惠誉解释称，中信银行与中信集团其他金融子公司及非金融企业子公司在联合融资、客户推荐与数字化转型方面密切合作。尤其在中信金控设立后，协作有所加强，进一步增强了协同效应。 此外，中信集团在支持中信银行资本补充方面有着长期的记录。例如2024年初中信金控将260亿元人民币可转债转股，令中信银行核心一级资本充足率提升约40个基点。惠誉认为，这些举措证明中信集团在必要时及时提供支持的强有力承诺与能力。 据了解，惠誉是全球三大信用评级机构之一。官网显示，截止目前，国内仅有两家股份银行获得惠誉长期外币发行主体“A-”评级。2025年7月18日，惠誉评级发布报告，确认招商银行长期外币发行人主体评级为“A-”，展望为稳定。 此外，根据Wind统计，其余股份银行的国际信用评级方面，浦发银行和兴业银行惠誉评级为“BBB”，平安银行和民生银行惠誉评级为“BB+”。另外，光大银行穆迪评级为“Baa2”，民生银行穆迪评级为“Baa3”。 中资头部银行信用修复趋势延续，料有利于融资渠道扩宽 中信银行表示，此次评级上调是继2023年从“BBB”...

MP Leonti/iStock via Getty Images On April 10, 2026, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the Consumer Price Index for March. In February, the CPI increased 0.3% (seasonally adjusted), after it increased by 0.2% in January. A linear pattern would suggest that CPI in March increased 0.4%. Investors consider the median CPI and the longer-term trend in the last decade first. February Median CPI The Cleveland Fed calculated the February median CPI at 2.85%, compared to 2.41% in the last 12 months. The median CPI calculation is the one-month inflation rate of the component where the expenditure weight is in the 50 th percentile of price changes. The rationale for omitting the outliers allows the reader to focus on the interior of the distribution of price changes. The chart below shows a smoother long-term trend. The median CPI fell steadily since 2023, while the CPI (green line) exhibited more volatility, especially between 2024 and 2025. Despite the wider monthly changes, the CPI trended lower during that time. BLS Oil Price Shock in March The bar chart below shows that the one-month percent change in CPI barely changed. CPI rose by either 0.2% or 0.3%. On one occasion last May 2025, CPI increased 0.1%. CPI (BLS) In March, the BLS data will report the impact of surging oil prices. WTI crude ( CL1:COM ) rose from the low $70s. It stayed at elevated levels in the $90 - $98 range for most of the month. oilprice The index for energy already increased 0.6% in February, compared to a fall of 1.5% in January. This figure might increase to 0.6% - 0.9%. Inflation in shelter, food, medical care, and apparel might lead to an overall increase in CPI. The CPI for the last 12 months might top 3.0%. Stock markets already priced in a 97.4% chance that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates at 350 – 375 basis points. FedWatch The odds of a rate cut to 325-350 bps were higher on February 27 at 23.3%. Not only is a rate cut probability at 0%, but the odds of a rate hike are ...

Blue Owl Capital Inc. will limit redemptions from two of its private credit funds after facing a surge in withdrawal requests that is unprecedented among major firms in the $1.8 trillion market. Investors in its $36 billion Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. fund, one of the industry’s largest, asked to pull 21.9% of shares in the three months ended March 31, according to an investor letter, up from 5.2% in the prior period. The smaller Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. saw shareholders ask for 40.7% back, compared with 15.4% three months earlier, according to a separate letter. Both funds had previously met the requests in excess of its 5% tender offer. This time, though, Blue Owl said it would join industry peers in capping redemptions at that level, “in accordance with the fund structure, reflecting our commitment to balancing the interests of both tendering and remaining shareholders.” For the bigger fund, OCIC, that amounts to $988 million of redemptions honored and about $3.2 billion remaining in the fund, while for OTIC it means redeeming $179 million and keeping roughly $1 billion of investors’ cash. While Blue Owl joins industry peers including Apollo Global Management Inc. , Ares Management Corp. and BlackRock Inc. in sticking to their redemption threshold on non-traded business development companies, the magnitude of the requests underscores how Blue Owl has found itself squarely in the middle of worries about private credit. Read more: Blue Owl Anxiety Rattles $1.8 Trillion Private Credit Market Skittish Investors Investors have grown skittish about the market after some high-profile collapses and concerns over AI disrupting software companies that relied heavily on direct lenders. But Blue Owl found itself particularly in the spotlight after a scrapped merger between two BDCs in November and then outsized withdrawal requests from its tech-focused BDC in January. In February, it was scrutinized over a move to sell $1.4 billion of assets while restricting quarte...

OlekStock/iStock via Getty Images A Good Indicator of Undervaluation When REITs trade (far) below their intrinsic value, you don't want to see a management's team issuing new shares. Something that we saw with Macerich ( MAC ) during the COVID-years, in order to deleverage the balance-sheet. What you do want to see are: Unlocking value through lucrative asset sales (with proceeds used to pay down debt) Share buybacks Sure, you could argue that selling income-generating assets to deleverage the balance-sheet won't directly contribute to per share [A]FFO growth, but a more healthier leveraged REIT does provide you with more downside protection when things go south (like when a pandemic hits) and it also brings future interest expenses down because of the investment grade rating that REITs can lock-in when they run the portfolio in a prudent (low-leverage) matter. Why all of this is relevant to AH Realty Trust ( AHRT )? Because at the end of last month , the company reported the sale of two non-core assets (the company's investment in Solis North Creek and Solis Peachtree). These were financing investments to AH Realty Trust. In my previous articles I already discussed management's focus on simplifying the REITs portfolio. Getting rid of its real estate financing program was a part of this promise/goal. Let's focus on these sales first, before we are going to the share buybacks that management did in Q1 as well. Press release (March 31, 2026) The combined sale of AHRT's investment in Solis North Creek and Solis Peachtree were done at an aggregate purchase price of $63 million. So was this a good deal or not? In order to answer this question, we have to go to the most recent 10-K . On page 12 and ... we can read the following regarding North Creek and Peachtree respectively: The balance on the Solis North Creek note was $30.0 million as of December 31, 2025 , which includes $2.3 million of cumulative accrued interest and $1.0 million of cumulative accrued unused commitm...

美国至3月28日当周初请失业金人数20.2万人，预期21.2万人，前值由21万人修正为21.1万人。

A month into the Iran war, Washington still says it expects to achieve its objectives in weeks, not months. That may prove optimistic. The terms on offer from the United States and Iran barely overlap, and markets remain unconvinced a durable settlement is close. But one fact is clear: the war’s most consequential effects may be felt not only in the Middle East but across East Asia. It would be a mistake to see this as only an oil story. It is also about hierarchy. In East Asia, the war is...

Cash is the most expensive place to hold any excess savings.

Relaxing covenant requirements to win competitors in the race to fund deals is leaving sub-investment grade loan investors without their last line of defense, according to an analysis by Moody’s Ratings. Maintenance covenants, most common among revolving loans, serve to protect lenders from early signs of stress and constrain borrowers from heaping excessive leverage onto deals. But some are becoming increasingly permissive, allowing borrowers to do just that, a group of analysts led by Derek Gluckman wrote in a report. Of over a hundred leveraged loans executed in 2024 and 2025 that Moody’s sampled, nearly half of deals with revolver—maintenance covenants set leverage thresholds at 8 times earnings, while 26% set leverage above 9 times, and 11% had leverage thresholds as high as 10 times or more, according to the report. In contrast, Moody’s pre-pandemic sample of maintenance covenants from 2019 to 2020 featured thresholds between 4 to 7.35 times. High leverage thresholds matter, in that they allow issuers to crank leverage without breaching the terms of their deal, which can quickly plunge companies into junkier credit territory. These covenants often do not become applicable — or able to protect lenders — until the issuer is under substantial stress, by which point it may be too late. “Once such elevated thresholds are breached, investors are more likely facing the borrower’s final curtain call,” Moody’s analysts said. Springing covenants — which trigger when a company has used more than a fixed percentage of its revolving facilities on the testing date — have also grown to a higher threshold compared to the 2019-20 sample. Spring levels are commonly set at 40% nowadays, making it easier for borrowers to tap on its revolver without triggering the covenant. By including maintenance covenants, pro rata loan tranches — which include term loan As and revolving loans — historically had a benefit over term B lenders, the vast majority of which are now “cov-lite”. But a...

Since October, the crypto market has lost about $2 trillion in value. Bear markets are never fun, but if you believe in the long-term value of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, then this is a good time to add to your holdings. I believe Bitcoin is an important part of any crypto portfolio, as it's the most successful coin by far. However, there are also quite a few exciting crypto investment opportunities with altcoins -- a term for all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. Here are my top two picks right now.
