In this Substack post, Michael J. Burry highlights a 65-page academic paper titled 'Private Credit's State Backstop: How Private Equity Socializes Risk Through Insurers,' authored by Andrew Granato (Assistant Professor at the University of Texas School of Law, with degrees from Stanford, Yale Law, and Yale School of Management) and Pranjal Drall (a Yale doctoral fellow pursuing combined J.D. and Ph.D. credentials). Burry briefly introduces the paper and quotes its abstract, which argues that private equity firms have acquired large life insurers and loaded their balance sheets with opaque private credit assets that regulators struggle to value. According to the abstract, when such insurers become insolvent, state-based guaranty funds require surviving insurers to cover policyholder shortfalls — outlays that are creditable against state premium taxes — effectively socializing losses. The paper contends that PE-owned life insurers are structured to extract value upfront while imposing losses on others, exploiting this regulatory regime by pairing life insurers with private credit. Burry notes the paper connects to themes he has been developing in his own unpublished 'Heretic's Guide Part IV' and flags page 30 of the paper as particularly important for understanding the potential end game if these insurers become insolvent. The post is otherwise short, directing readers primarily to the paper itself.

A Bloomberg Markets article reports that Europe's stock market rally in 2026 has become unusually concentrated, driven by only a small number of stocks. The article notes this marks a significant shift from the European equity market's historical reputation for being resilient to the kind of narrow, handful-of-stocks-driven dynamics more commonly associated with other markets.

The article reports that U.S. tariffs have returned as an economic factor at a time when a conflict in the Persian Gulf has driven oil prices to $100 a barrel, creating a combination of pressures on the global economy.

The CFTC's Division of Market Oversight issued an advisory on July 24, 2026, reminding designated contract markets (DCMs) of proper procedures for self-certifying event contract series. The advisory targets concerns about broad, template-style certifications that bundle many potential event contract variations into a single submission. According to the CFTC, this practice hampers the Division's ability to assess whether a DCM has provided all required information, explanation, and analysis under Commission Regulation § 40.2, and whether the DCM has adequately evaluated settlement methodology, data sources, and core-principles compliance for contracts it intends to list. The advisory states that such broad certifications should not be submitted, and clarifies the circumstances under which closely related event contracts may be certified as a class or submitted for approval under Commission Regulations §§ 40.2(d) or 40.3.

FINRA has issued Regulatory Notice 26-15 requesting public comment on how to modernize its best execution guidance under FINRA Rule 5310. The notice is part of FINRA's 'FINRA Forward' rule modernization initiative and is prompted in part by the SEC's recent proposal to rescind the trade-through prohibition under Rule 611 of Regulation NMS, as well as by significant changes in market structure since Regulation NMS was adopted in 2005. Rule 5310 has provided principles-based standards for broker-dealers' duty of best execution since 1968, requiring member firms to use reasonable diligence to ascertain the best market for customer orders and execute at the most favorable price possible under prevailing market conditions. FINRA states it believes the existing principles-based framework remains sound but is seeking comment on ways to update its interpretive guidance to address current market realities, including developments such as extended-hours trading, fractional shares, algorithmic order handling, and the potential rescission of Rule 611's structural trade-through protections. The notice describes existing best execution obligations, including required regular and rigorous reviews of execution quality on at least a quarterly basis, the factors firms must weigh in assessing execution quality (such as price, speed, likelihood of execution, transaction costs, and customer needs), and the prohibition on transferring best execution obligations to another firm. FINRA is soliciting comment on specific topics including how guidance should evolve if Rule 611 is rescinded, how the framework should address different order types and customer segments (retail versus institutional), and whether guidance on not-held orders, extended-hours trading, options, and single-dealer platforms warrants updating. Comments are due by September 25, 2026.

The Financial Times article discusses the prospect of eliminating quarterly company reporting requirements in the United States.

The Financial Times reports that US technology companies have cut approximately 140,000 jobs even as the sector continues a significant spending boom on artificial intelligence. According to the article, this investment drive is reshaping Silicon Valley, while the broader US jobs market has remained relatively stable despite the tech sector reductions.

The article presents an interactive web-based simulation tool called the 'SCN Global Flow Monitor' that models the effects of disrupting the Strait of Hormuz on global crude oil trade. The tool uses UN Comtrade 2025 reported flow data and is based on a fluid-stochastic network clearing model with Skorokhod inventory dynamics and endogenous pricing, as described in an accompanying paper published on arXiv (arXiv:2607.17491). Users can configure disruption scenarios by adjusting parameters such as capacity retained, demand and supply elasticity, and simulation horizon, with preset options including a historical analog (70% capacity retained over 12 weeks), a severe disruption (30% over 26 weeks), and an extreme stress test (10% over 52 weeks). Outputs include metrics such as destabilized nodes, systemic deficit in million barrels per week, throughput ratio, clearing price over time, downstream flow losses, and emergency stockpile drawdown for net-importing nations. The tool notes that sanctioned and unreported trade flows are not represented in the data and that no rationing policy is modeled—stockpile buffers drain mechanically. The simulation is described as a stress test rather than a forecast.
Keywords: Strait of Hormuz, oil trade, simulation, supply chain, geopolitical risk
The Guardian reports that competition among UK savings providers is driving up interest rates and expanding account options for savers. As of late July 2026, the Bank of England base rate stands at 3.75%, and Moneyfacts data shows 1,385 savings accounts now pay above that rate — the highest count in over six years. The average non-ISA easy-access account rate is at its highest in almost a year at 2.53%. Key offers highlighted include Revolut offering 5% for new customers until 4 December 2026 on balances up to £25,000, and Chase's Saver account paying new customers 4.5% including a 12-month bonus, requiring a free Chase current account. For fixed-rate bonds, Marcus by Goldman Sachs offers a one-year bond at 4.9% and Atom Bank at 4.8%, while the average one-year fixed-rate bond rate has risen to 4.22%, its highest since November 2024. Regular savings accounts from Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland pay 8% with monthly contributions of £25–£250, and Santander also offers 8% for 12 months on up to £200 per month from its current accounts. The article flags that interest earned outside an ISA is taxable once it exceeds the personal savings allowance — £1,000 for basic-rate taxpayers and £500 for higher-rate taxpayers — and quotes Moneyfacts analyst Rachel Springall advising savers to switch proactively to take advantage of current rates.
