Round #46 of the Debt Serious newsletter covers several topics in private credit and leveraged lending. On KKR and private loan trading, the author reads KKR Co-CEO Scott Nuttall's comments as unenthusiastic about following Apollo's lead in trading private loans, and argues that opacity is a core advantage of private credit. The author also questions why Apollo is pushing for trading given that its insurance subsidiary Athene benefits from the absence of mark-to-market accounting. The newsletter's main focus is a dissection of Apollo and Blackstone's roughly $36 billion debt financing deal to help Anthropic purchase Google TPU chips, which Anthropic will then lease. The debt is structured as an asset-backed finance transaction with tranches of $6B (A1 notes), $25B (A2 notes), and $4.5B (B notes). Broadcom is backstopping payments on the A1 and A2 tranches, covering any shortfall if chip liquidation proceeds fall short of the $31 billion owed to those investors. The author explains that Broadcom agreed to the backstop because the deal would not proceed without it, and that Google did not provide the guarantee. Additional topics include a decline in PE-backed loan financings, a look at the CDS market for hyperscaler debt, a reassessment of private credit default rate reporting, and an analysis of the risk of accelerating bank deposit runs enabled by technology and stablecoins, with a proposal to require banks to preposition collateral at the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

A Federal Reserve Bank of New York Liberty Street Economics post summarizes findings from a Staff Report examining the effects of 36 percent consumer loan rate caps enacted between 2016 and 2022 in Illinois, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Using data from the New York Fed Consumer Credit Panel/Equifax, which tracks quarterly credit profiles for a 5 percent random sample of over 35 million borrowers, the authors find that usury limits prompt lenders to reallocate credit away from the least creditworthy borrowers and toward marginally more creditworthy ones. The post explains that before rate caps, high-cost lenders specialized in extending credit to higher-risk borrowers. After caps were imposed, some lenders shifted their lending toward borrowers in the middle of the risk score distribution—particularly those in the third through fifth deciles—for whom the rate cap did not bind. Borrowers in the third decile have a median risk score of approximately 620, near the traditional subprime-to-prime boundary. The data show increased borrowing among these mid-tier risk groups relative to control states following cap implementation, while borrowing declined substantially for borrowers in the lowest risk score decile. The authors note that aggregate lending declined only marginally, suggesting the increased lending to the third through fifth deciles largely offset the reduction to the lowest decile. The post concludes that usury limits involve tradeoffs, with some borrowers experiencing worse credit access while others benefit, and that credit reallocation to safer borrowers may be an unintended consequence of the caps.

A Federal Reserve Bank of New York Liberty Street Economics post summarizes findings from a staff report examining the effects of 36 percent annual interest rate caps on alternative lenders (payday, installment, and auto-title) enacted in Illinois, South Dakota, and North Dakota between 2016 and 2022. Using household-level data from the New York Fed Consumer Credit Panel/Equifax, researchers compared borrowers in the lowest credit-score decile in cap states against counterparts in states without caps. The study finds that loan balances for the riskiest borrowers in rate-cap states fell by approximately $2,000 relative to control-state counterparts within five quarters of the caps taking effect, while balances for safer borrowers changed little. Despite this reduction in debt, delinquency rates (accounts 90 or more days overdue) for the riskiest borrowers showed no statistically significant decline relative to control states after the caps were enacted. The authors interpret these findings as consistent with the credit rationing hypothesis—that lenders reduce or eliminate lending to high-risk borrowers when rate caps prevent them from pricing in expected losses—rather than with the view that caps lower borrowing costs. The post notes that banks and credit unions were exempt from the caps. The authors state their findings call into question the benefits of usury limits for high-risk borrowers and indicate a follow-up post will examine whether lenders reallocate credit to somewhat lower-risk borrowers in response.

The OECD has warned that a prolonged Middle East conflict could severely damage the global economy. According to the article, if disruptions to energy production and shipping extend well into next year, global growth could fall to 2.1% in 2026 — a level that would represent the weakest growth this century outside of 2009 and 2020.

This Federal Reserve FEDS working paper by Matthieu Bussière, Johanna Gilbert, and Olesya Grishchenko examines how euro-area households form their inflation expectations. Using data from the European Commission Consumer Survey, the authors find that households' perceptions of recent price changes are a key driver of their forward-looking inflation expectations. This relationship holds when controlling for specific inflation components, household characteristics, and broader macroeconomic conditions, though the authors note it varies across countries within the euro area. The paper concludes that inflation perceptions are important for the conduct of monetary policy. The paper is part of the Finance and Economics Discussion Series (June 2026) and represents the views of the authors, not the Federal Reserve Board.
Keywords: inflation expectations, monetary policy, consumer behavior, euro area, Federal Reserve research, household perceptions, asset valuations, yield curve expectations
A Futurism article reports that the United States may be approaching the largest series of initial public offerings in modern stock market history, with three major listings on the horizon: SpaceX (targeting a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion with a launch aimed for early June), Anthropic, and OpenAI. Together, the three could add roughly $4 trillion in value to U.S. markets, according to the Economist. The article draws on Economist analysis to note that large IPOs have historically preceded market downturns, citing examples from 2021, 2008, and the late 1990s dot-com era. If investor appetite for the companies' valuations proves insufficient, the article warns the three IPOs could independently push markets into correction territory. A central concern raised is the companies' deep involvement in artificial intelligence. The article notes that global private investment in AI has surged despite an absence of tangible financial returns, and suggests the IPOs could serve as a test of whether investor patience with AI spending has limits. The article does not predict a specific outcome but frames the situation as carrying significant downside risk if the offerings disappoint.

This Atlantic article argues that China's export-driven economic model, sustained by government subsidies, suppressed wages, and an undervalued currency, is causing significant disruption to global manufacturing. The piece reports that China's trade surplus reached a record $1.2 trillion last year and that its surplus in manufactured goods as a share of the global economy is described as the largest ever recorded by any country. The article cites economists and trade analysts who say the policy is contributing to factory job losses in Germany (estimated at 10,000 per month), threatens hundreds of thousands of garment jobs in Indonesia, and poses risks to U.S. industries including automotive, robotics, and semiconductors. MIT economist David Autor is quoted calling Xi's policies a driver of 'forced deindustrialization' of advanced economies. The article also contends the model is harmful to China domestically, with weak consumer spending, declining property values, and taxpayer funds directed toward subsidizing loss-generating factories rather than social services. The piece surveys responses from trading partners: the EU has introduced legislation to reduce reliance on Chinese green-energy imports, the Biden administration imposed tariffs on Chinese EVs and chips, and some U.S. lawmakers advocate stronger industrial policy. The article characterizes the Trump administration's approach as inconsistent, simultaneously pursuing tariff investigations while agreeing during a recent Beijing visit to reduce tariffs on nonstrategic goods. Economists quoted suggest China's dependence on export demand is structurally fragile, particularly as geopolitical tensions rise.
