PJT Partners Inc. Chief Executive Officer Paul Taubman said the private credit market’s issues are a “public relations” challenge as investors started to fully realize that many of the products weren’t fully liquid. “Retail clearly is going to stop fueling the growth in AUM for private credit,” Taubman said Monday in a Bloomberg Television interview at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills. “There’s an increasing realization it’s an institutional product, not a retail product.” Fears about valuations and the impacts of artificial intelligence on some borrowers have created turmoil in the $1.8 trillion private-credit market in recent weeks. Blue Owl Capital Inc. said last week that sentiment in the industry is far grimmer than reality. “There will be nicks and bruises and losses along the way,” Taubman said. “Underwriting standards are tightening up.” Taubman — who said he doesn’t see private credit as a systemic issue — warned that industries seeking to pull in retail capital have to do so carefully. Private Credit Could Spark Psychological Contagion, Barr Warns ‘Golden’ or ‘Garbage’: Milken Signals New Private Credit Era “It’s simply a marketing challenge in an environment that resulted from an unanticipated change in values and desires for liquidity from retail,” Taubman said. “I suspect that the lesson will be that retail is a wonderful channel, but you really need to treat it with kid gloves when you try and tap that market.”
Raw sugar futures rose to the highest in more than a month as investors trim bearish bets on expectations that mills at top supplier Brazil will focus on producing sugar-cane ethanol instead of the sweetener. The most-active contract in New York climbed as much as 1.7% on Monday to above 15 cents a pound, rising for a second-straight session. While the Middle East war is seen as increasing demand ...
Raw sugar futures rose to the highest in more than a month as investors trim bearish bets on expectations that mills at top supplier Brazil will focus on producing sugar-cane ethanol instead of the sweetener. The most-active contract in New York climbed as much as 1.7% on Monday to above 15 cents a pound, rising for a second-straight session. While the Middle East war is seen as increasing demand for the biofuel, declining ethanol prices in Brazil are also limiting mills’ appetite to shift even more cane to make the product. There is still uncertainty over the market’s capacity to absorb large ethanol production, said Bruno Lima , director for soft commodities at StoneX, referring to the amount of sugar cane that mills are dedicating to the sweetener or ethanol. Sugar futures have moved above the 200-day moving average, a key technical bullish sign. Money managers have already trimmed some of their short positions, according to weekly CFTC data . Still, prices could move beyond 17 cents a pound if the trend continues, Archer Consulting’s Arnaldo Correa said in a note to clients. Cocoa futures also rose in New York, reaching the highest since February. Prices are recovering after steep losses this year, amid concerns over lack of access to fertilizer and potential impacts of the El Niño weather phenomenon in West Africa. Raw sugar prices climbed 1.6% to 15.19 cents per pound as of 10:59 a.m. in New York Cocoa rose 7.4% to 3,861 per metric ton Arabica coffee moved higher while cotton retreated

Traditional IRAs and 401(k) plans are funded with pretax dollars, allowing you to shield some income from the IRS. These accounts also allow your money to grow on a tax-deferred basis, so you don't have to pay capital gains taxes every year. Rather, taxes are due only once you take withdrawals.
