Many think Private Credit could become the Lehman of 2026...

Like 2008, at some point it no longer matters what the outlook 5 years down the road is. The snowball gains it own momentum and can no longer be stopped...

$BAC Bank of America says it will cancel plans for a $14 billion construction loan linked to $ORCL data center being built and back a bond offering instead as fear of private credit contagion spreads into banks.

In other words Bank of America leant to much money to private credit lenders that funneled money to data centers and now can’t risk having more on its balance sheet. Needs something it can sell.

When the US Treasury starts calling in regulators, it means something has gone wrong enough to worry Washington.

Yesterday, the Treasury convened meetings with domestic AND international insurance regulators to discuss private credit risks.

The specific concern: billions in retirement savings managed by life insurers have been quietly moved into illiquid private credit products.

Apollo and KKR bought insurance companies to get direct access to that capital.

State-level regulation alone can't handle what's now a multitrillion-dollar, cross-border, offshore-reinsurance-linked web.The Treasury calling this meeting is not routine. It's a signal.
