Fears of a stagflation shock from the Middle East conflict are increasingly souring investor sentiment toward the weakest global corporate borrowers, many of which binged on cheap debt during the era of ultra-low interest rates. Global investors now require about 6.4 percentage points of extra yield to own high-risk CCC rated bonds over other junk notes that sit just below investment grade, the largest premium in 14 months, Bloomberg indexes show. Credit funds are bracing for even greater stress in higher-risk loans and private credit where debt from a $2 trillion leveraged buyout boom is concentrated. More than three months into the Iran conflict, higher oil prices are compounding risks for highly indebted borrowers. The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz has pushed up inflation, which threatens to keep interest rates higher for longer and endanger economic growth. That’s heaping pressure on to lower-rated companies that don’t have the financial wherewithal of their better-ranked peers. “If this transition from disinflation to reinflation leads to stagflation then you have that pernicious combination of declining operating cash flow and rising costs of capital,” said Mitch Reznick , group head of fixed income in London at Federated Hermes, which manages more than $900 billion. “That can be pretty challenging to overly levered companies.” Signs of diverging fortunes within US leveraged loans are also apparent. On a returns basis, CC rated loans using composite rating scores have lost 8% this quarter, while BB rated ones have returned 1.4%, a Bloomberg index shows. “Whether we have a recession or not, we are going to have a default cycle” because of debt tied to a 2021-2022 leveraged-buyout bubble, Holly Kim , co-founder of hedge fund Glendon Capital, said at Bloomberg’s Global Credit Forum in New York this month. Kim agreed with a poll of forum attendees that found “stagflation” to be the biggest risk to credit markets. Still, credit investors broadly remain ...

Investors are still nervous about the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sector and the impact artificial intelligence (AI) will have on it. However, these beaten-down stocks could be the most underrated AI plays in the second half of this year and beyond. Agentic AI is just starting to take off, and there is a large opportunity for software companies to begin playing a major role in this trend. Let's look at two of the best-positioned SaaS stocks for this right now. While Nvidia is the backbone of AI infrastructure, ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) serves as the central nervous system of organizations' IT infrastructure. It monitors its customers' complete software stacks and is deeply integrated with their data and workflows. It's an ingrained, essential system that is highly unlikely to be disrupted by AI and more likely to serve as an integral part of the AI evolution that organizations are starting to embark on.

The U.S. military began "launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction," Centcom said. U.S. forces were striking air defenses and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, and no infrastructure sites were hit, a senior U.S. official told The Wall Street Journal . The strikes come after President Trump said earlier in the day that the U.S. would hit Iran " very hard," accusing Iran of dragging out talks on a peace deal. U.S. WTI crude ( CL1:COM ) jumped 3.9% to $93.54/bbl, after the front-month Nymex contract for July delivery ended regular trading up 2.1% to $90.03/bbl, while front-month Brent crude ( CO1:COM ) for August added 1.8% to $93.10/bbl today. Also, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported domestic crude oil inventories fell for a seventh straight week, as commercial crude oil stocks excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by a more-than-expected 7.2M barrels to 426.5M barrels in the week ended June 5, ~5% below the five-year average for the time of year, and a further 7.9M barrels were released from the SPR to 349.2M barrels. Gasoline inventories, however, unexpectedly increased by 186K barrels to 215.1M barrels and were 6% below the five-year average, while d istillate fuel stocks fell by 200K barrels to 102.1M barrels. Meanwhile, front-month Nymex natural gas ( NG1:COM ) for July delivery gained 1.4% to $3.185/MMBtu, snapping a three-session losing streak.
