The Financial Times' Monetary Policy Radar team has published its October scenario for the Federal Reserve. According to the article's title, the Fed is expected to maintain a pace of quarterly rate rises while removing the 'insurance' rate cuts that had previously been anticipated for 2025. The article falls under the FT's Global Economy, Central Banks, and Federal Reserve coverage areas. The full article text was not available beyond the headline and category tags.

Private Debt News Weekly Issue #113 reports that direct lending volume fell to $38.9 billion in the third quarter, the lowest level since the second quarter of 2023, with September alone recording $10.4 billion—a 66% year-over-year decline. Year to date, $22.9 billion of private credit has been refinanced into bank loans while only $9.2 billion moved the other direction, a reversal of the pattern seen in prior periods of market stress. The article attributes this shift to private lenders managing redemption queues totaling $15 billion, troubled loan books—particularly in software—and constrained deployment capacity, leaving banks to capture market share. With large-cap deal flow scarce, larger managers have moved into the sub-$20 million EBITDA segment, where loan volumes more than doubled in the second quarter. Spreads across size cohorts have converged to roughly 490–530 basis points, effectively eliminating the historical size premium of 100–150 basis points that smaller borrowers once paid. The Alternative Credit Council's report cited 17% AUM growth to $4.1 trillion and a decline in loan amendments as evidence that market stress is concentrated rather than systemic, though the same report acknowledged approximately one-sixth of surveyed funds carry non-accruals above 5%, with Man Group's Kevin Marchetti placing roughly 70% of lender takeovers in the 2021–2022 vintages. Apollo repositioned its $2.6 billion financing to the New York Yankees' owners as 'AI-resilient leisure' after cutting approximately $750 million in software exposure. PIMCO noted that software loans trade about 8 points below non-software peers, with $62 billion maturing in 2028 and 2029. Cox Capital, after two unsuccessful tender offers for gated BDC shares, launched a pilot program to lend against those positions at up to 65% of NAV at a fixed rate of approximately 10%, using a roughly $200 million vehicle.

Writing in The Guardian, Catherine De Vries, professor of political science at IE University in Madrid, argues that widespread public discontent across Europe — driven by unaffordable housing, stagnant wages, rising living costs and failing public services — poses a significant political challenge, though not necessarily an existential one, for the EU. She notes that protests from Paris to Milan to Madrid reflect a growing gap between citizen expectations and government delivery, with elections approaching in Spain, France, Poland and Italy before the end of 2027. De Vries contends that the EU's rationale — a combined market of 450 million people and an economy of nearly €19tn — remains compelling, particularly given geopolitical pressures from Ukraine, China and uncertainty over US security guarantees. She describes the EU as surprisingly resilient, arguing that its slow, compromise-based decision-making disperses power in ways that make the system difficult to destabilise, and that it enables member states to exercise 'effective sovereignty' — the capacity to shape outcomes no single European state could control alone. Nonetheless, she identifies real risks. Negotiations over the next €2tn seven-year budget remain deadlocked over who bears the costs of security and competitiveness. She warns that a Marine Le Pen presidency in France could undermine the union from within, even without a formal exit. However, she notes that domestic instability can also create urgency in Brussels, citing Emmanuel Macron's push for a budget deal before the French presidential election narrows political space. De Vries concludes that young Europeans remain among the EU's strongest supporters, but that unless European cooperation produces tangible improvements in citizens' lives — not merely institutional preservation — street-level discontent could increasingly turn against the EU itself.
