Bloomberg journalists Katie Greifeld and Olivia Fishlow interviewed Jason Dillow, co-head of US private credit and head of US opportunistic credit at Man Group, on the program 'Bloomberg Real Yield.' The conversation came amid news that Cliffwater, Blackstone, and Partners Group all placed caps on certain fund redemptions during the same week, developments that returned private markets to broader scrutiny.

An article from *The Economist* (Leaders section, paywalled) argues that the U.S. Treasury market is deteriorating and requires corrective action. According to the piece, high levels of debt, fragmented or disjointed market structures, and an aggressive trade policy are identified as factors threatening the status of U.S. Treasuries as the world's preeminent safe asset.

A revised Federal Reserve FEDS working paper by Edmund Crawley and William Gamber examines whether household spending responds directly to changes in interest rates. Using a Bayesian procedure applied to empirical impulse responses from 10 macroeconomic shocks, the authors discipline the consumer block of a Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian (HANK) model. They apply the method both shock-by-shock and in a pooled fashion, using two approaches: a structural model with sticky expectations over income and interest rates, and a non-parametric estimation of the consumption-to-interest-rate Jacobian. The paper finds no evidence that households respond directly to interest rates at any time horizon, suggesting essentially no role for a direct interest rate channel in driving consumption. The paper was originally released in March 2025 and revised in June 2026.
Keywords: Federal Reserve, Interest rate transmission, Monetary policy, Household consumption, HANK model, Macroeconomic shocks, Monetary policy effectiveness, Financial conditions
A Federal Reserve Finance and Economics Discussion Series (FEDS) working paper by Lawrence Christiano, Martin Eichenbaum, and Benjamin Johannsen analyzes how quickly learning processes converge to a rational expectations equilibrium (REE) across a broad class of multivariate economic models. The authors find that convergence is slower when agents' beliefs about model outcomes are more self-fulfilling, and they examine what model features contribute to this self-fulfilling property. Using variants of the New Keynesian model and a medium-scale DSGE model, they conclude that for empirically plausible model specifications, convergence under learning to the REE is so slow that analyses premised on rational expectations may be misleading. The paper was released in June 2026 and carries DOI 10.17016/FEDS.2026.039. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not represent the positions of the Federal Reserve Board or its staff.
Keywords: rational expectations equilibrium, learning dynamics, macroeconomic models, DSGE models, New Keynesian model, monetary policy transmission, expectation formation, Federal Reserve research, financial stability implications, self-fulfilling beliefs
Better Markets COO and Policy Director Amanda Fischer argues that the CFTC's May 2026 approval of perpetual futures products for Kalshi and Coinbase reveals serious weaknesses in the agency's regulatory process. The article explains that perpetual futures are cryptocurrency derivatives with no expiration date, typically traded with high leverage and on a 24/7 basis, and that the global market for these products is estimated at around $90 trillion. Fischer describes how the CFTC solicited public comment in April 2025 on two related questions, receiving over 150 and 60 letters respectively, in which commenters—including financial firms and agricultural producers—raised concerns about leverage limits, clearinghouse resilience, market manipulation risks, and the need for formal APA rulemaking. The agency then approved both firms' applications just one day after they were submitted in May 2026, relying on brief approval orders rather than notice-and-comment rulemaking, and declining to address the substantive public feedback. The article raises questions about whether the products should be classified as 'swaps' rather than 'futures,' which would trigger a stricter regulatory regime. It also notes that while the platforms have indicated they will not offer perpetual-style trading on traditional agricultural commodities, the CFTC's ad hoc, firm-by-firm approval framework provides no enforceable mechanism to prevent future expansion into those markets. Fischer concludes by warning that Congress is currently considering legislation that would move additional assets from SEC oversight into this same lighter-touch CFTC framework, potentially extending what she characterizes as a flawed and captured approval process to even larger markets.
Keywords: perpetual futures, derivatives, leverage, financial stability, market risk, cryptocurrency markets, margin requirements, systemic risk, price discovery, market structure

Ireland's Central Statistics Office reported that the country's GDP shrank by 12.1% in the first quarter of the year compared to the previous quarter. The article indicates this contraction in the Irish economy is likely to pull the broader eurozone into contraction.
Keywords: GDP contraction, Ireland, Eurozone, macroeconomic stress, quarterly decline, economic growth, regional spillover
Eurozone retail sales declined more than expected in April, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The drop was attributed to rising energy prices, which continued to weigh on consumer spending power across the region.

A post on Kottke.org highlights a visualization by Ryan Thorpe that uses Federal Reserve data on U.S. household wealth distribution since 1989 to illustrate wealth inequality through a pizza party analogy. In the scenario, 100 pizza slices are divided among 100 guests to mirror how wealth is distributed across American households: one person receives 30 slices, nine people receive about 3.7 slices each, 40 people receive 0.75 slices each, and 50 people receive just 0.05 slices each. The Kottke author notes the numbers sum to approximately 96.1 slices rather than a full 100, attributing the discrepancy to rounding, and adds a pizza pie chart to accompany the analogy.
Keywords: wealth distribution, American wealth, income inequality, household assets, wealth concentration
