Blackstone's Flagship Private Credit Fund, World's Largest, Posts First Monthly Loss Since 2022 It only took a constant barrage of negative news surrounding the private credit space, including a surge in redemptions, investor gating, questions about loan markets as well as outright fraud, not to mention relentless criticism from of some of the biggest luminaries in credit, including Saba' s Boaz Weinstein and Diameter's Scott Goodwin , for Blackstone to concede that its private credit book may have been mismarked. According to Bloomberg , Blackstone's flagship private credit fund - and the world's largest - posted its first monthly loss in more than three years, one of the clearest signs yet of weakening performance in the $1.8 trillion market. The $83 billion fund, known as BCRED , lost 0.4% in February , the first monthly decline since September 2022 . Performance was flat for the first two months of the year after an 8% gain in 2025, the website shows. While we haven't done the math, we wonder what that means in terms of BCRED's Sharpe ratio, and how that compares to, say, Bernie Madoff's while the music was still playing (not when it had already stopped, of course). Blackstone told investors its February loss reflected wider spreads across public and private markets, as well as unrealized marks on individual names including Medallia, according to a message to financial advisers seen by Bloomberg. In the message, Blackstone pointed out that despite the pullback, the fund outperformed the leveraged loan market by around 0.4 percentage points in February and 1 percentage point since the start of the year, which it said underscored the benefits of private credit during volatile markets. “BCRED continues to deliver strong performance for its investors, with a 9.5% annualized total return since inception for Class I shares,” a spokesperson for the firm said in an emailed statement. The fund was set up in January 2021. Blackstone disclosed in February that it had marke...

Key Points Nvidia is the largest public company in the world, yet it still trades at an affordable valuation given its earnings growth. Meta Platforms has used AI to drive growth in impressions and conversions with its ads business. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Like many investors, I've put a portion of my portfolio into artificial intelligence (AI) companies. AI technology seems to get more advanced with every new model, and the United Nations Trade and Development projects that the AI market will reach $4.8 trillion in 2033. My top AI stocks are businesses that I believe have high growth potential over the next decade without carrying excessive risk. There are two in particular that look like fantastic investments right now, especially given the tech sector's recent downturn. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1. Nvidia Considering Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the world's largest public company, you can't exactly say it's overlooked, but it may still be underestimated given the tremendous results it's delivering. Revenue is rapidly growing, most recently to $68.1 billion in the fourth quarter of its 2026 fiscal year (ended Jan. 25), a 73% year-over-year increase. The chipmaker also maintains strong margins, with gross margins reaching 75% in the same Q4 2026 period. In total, Nvidia generated $215.9 billion in revenue during its 2026 fiscal year. And if CEO Jensen Huang is correct, sales growth isn't going to slow down from here. At the company's annual GTC conference, he said that he expects "at least $1 trillion" in revenue from data center products through 2027. Even though Nvidia has a massive market cap, it still looks like a bargain when you factor in its projected earnings and earnings growth. It trades at 22 times forward earnings as of March 19, below fellow tech gian...

(RTTNews) - Indian shares are seen opening sharply lower on Monday as investors fret about the spillover effects of elevated energy costs from the Middle East conflict to inflation and global economic growth. The war between the United States and Iran's regime has entered an unprecedented phase, escalating fears of a wider regional conflict. As the conflict entered its fourth week, Washington and Tehran have traded fresh threats following a wave of damaging Iranian strikes on Israel. Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility was hit in an airstrike Saturday. Two Iranian strikes on towns near Israel's main nuclear research center injured more than 100 people. U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to "hit and obliterate" Iran's power plants if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz— a vital artery for global energy flows — within 48 hours. Tehran warned of retaliation, threatening to close the strait and target energy infrastructure and desalination facilities in the Gulf if the U.S. carries out its ultimatum. Any attacks on the country's power plants would "immediately" be met with retaliatory strikes on energy and oil infrastructure across the region, Iran's Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said. Ghalibaf also said entities that finance the U.S. military budget are "legitimate targets" for the country, alongside military bases. Asian markets tumbled, with benchmark indexes in Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan falling 3-5 percent. The dollar held gains from the previous session and ten-year U.S. Treasury ?yields hovered near an eight-month high while gold prices slumped nearly 2 percent toward $4,400 an ounce as investors wager on higher interest rates globally. Brent crude prices were up nearly 1 percent above $107 a barrel in early Asian trade while WTI crude futures were up half a percent at $99 a barrel. U.S. stocks fell for a third straight session on Friday as bond yields surged on inflation fears following new attacks on energy infrastructu...

More than 60 new brands, mostly luxury labels, will move into K11 Musea as part of a revamp to boost the shopping centre’s offerings, but an analyst has warned of a complicated external environment weighing on the retail sector’s prospects. These brands are set to join the Tsim Sha Tsui mall in a tenant overhaul covering about 30 per cent of its retail space, with operators expecting rents for the revamped stores to rise by double digits. New or expanded flagship stores include Audemars Piguet, Balenciaga, Brunello Cucinelli, Delvaux, Loewe, Miu Miu, Prada, Rolex, Saint Laurent and Van Cleef & Arpels. Advertisement Several retailers have upgraded their shops into larger duplex spaces or expanded their floor area to include private lounges and services for VIP clients. Horace Lam, CEO of K11 Hong Kong, said the expansion reflected confidence among international brands in the city’s tourism recovery and its ability to draw high-quality visitors. Advertisement “We have seen a trend where visitors are coming not just for shopping but for concerts, exhibitions and other experiences,” Lam said. “These events bring travellers who are willing to spend.”
Goldman Sachs Group Inc . raised its oil price forecasts for 2026 due to the prolonged disruption of flows through the Strait of Hormuz, which it described as the largest-ever supply shock for global crude markets.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc . raised its oil price forecasts for 2026 due to the prolonged disruption of flows through the Strait of Hormuz, which it described as the largest-ever supply shock for global crude markets. Brent is expected to average $85 a barrel in 2026, up from an earlier forecast of $77, analysts including Daan Struyven said in a note. The full-year outlook for West Texas Intermediate was hiked to $79 from $72, they said. The revisions rested in part on an assumption that flows through Hormuz would remain at only 5% of normal levels for six weeks, followed by a gradual one-month recovery, they said in the note dated March 22. Energy markets have been pitched into turmoil by the US-Israeli war with Iran, with hostilities now entering a fourth week with no sign of resolution. President Donald Trump handed Iran a two-day ultimatum to reopen Hormuz — which connects the Persian Gulf to global markets — or see its power plants bombed. Tehran threatened reprisals. Read More: How Iran War Is Disrupting Global Oil and Gas Supply: Explainer “The largest oil supply shock ever will likely lead policymakers and markets to recognize the structural risks from the high concentration of production and spare capacity in the Middle East and from the vulnerability of energy infrastructure,” the Goldman analysts wrote. On the physical side, while the shock was leading to tightness in Asia, commercial crude stocks in American and European OECD countries were still rising, as global supply exceeded demand before the war, they added. Crude-production losses in the Middle East will rise from 11 million barrels a day today to a 17-million-barrel-a-day peak, assuming a gradual four-week full recovery after full reopening, the analysts said. That would result in cumulative losses of just over 800 million barrels, they said.
Steps to narrow the gender gap in Malaysia and Indonesia appear to be falling short, after a major global study found that most people surveyed in both nations remain tethered to traditional views on the roles of women.

Steps to narrow the gender gap in Malaysia and Indonesia appear to be falling short, after a major global study found that most people surveyed in both nations remain tethered to traditional views on the roles of women. The study by research firm Ipsos and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London found that 66 and 60 per cent of respondents from Indonesia and Malaysia, respectively, agreed with the statement that “a wife should always obey her husband”, the highest proportions across 29 countries surveyed. When asked a further question about their stance on whether husbands should have the final word on key decisions made at home, 67 and 58 per cent of respondents from Indonesia and Malaysia agreed, respectively, according to the study. Advertisement Over 23,000 people were surveyed from countries including Singapore , India, the United States, the United Kingdom and Brazil on gender roles and their views of norms in December and January this year, in a study timed for International Women’s Day published on March 5. The attitudes were “not particularly surprising,” said Mohd Faizal Musa, research fellow at the Institute of the Malay World and Civilisation at the National University of Malaysia, adding that Indonesia and Malaysia had deep-rooted Eastern cultural norms and customs, which were often intertwined with Islamic teachings. Advertisement But he said measuring gender attitudes of the two Southeast Asian countries against Western ideas of conservativeness and modernity was not as simple as it seemed, revealing the limitations of global studies on attitudes and values.
