The Market Updates

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS

🇺🇸 US largest bank, JP Morgan, has announced it will restrict lending to private credit funds.

Today, it was reported that JP Morgan has marked down the value of certain loans held by private credit lenders, all of which belong to software companies.

This is the 4th entity to do something similar over the past few weeks.

In Feb, Blue Owl Capital halted redemptions at a major credit fund.

Blackstone's fund also had to raise their withdrawal cap and inject $400 million of their own money just to cover the demand.

BlackRock also limited withdrawals for its $26 billion private credit fund.

This is a clear sign that the stress in the $2 trillion+ credit market is growing rapidly.

And it could get a lot worse.

This is because of the Middle East war, which will cause inflation to spike and stop any Fed easing.

Without Fed easing, the yields will spike, and companies will struggle more to repay their debt.

This will cause layoffs, which we are already seeing, thus slowing down the economic growth and potentially even causing a recession.

🚨 Someone has opened a $14,453,000 Oil short position.

Liquidation Price: $144.27

This can CRASH global markets.

Just now IRAN Begins laying MINES in the Strait of Hormuz to choke the route for 20% of global oil supply, per CNN.

This could push oil prices to $150+, crashing markets worldwide.

Let me explain how and why ?

The Strait is 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, but only 2 miles are used for shipping traffic.

Iran has an estimated 5,000+ naval mines ready and if They drop few hundred into those 2 miles

Here’s what happens next:

→ Tanker insurance rates spike instantly
→ Oil companies reroute or halt shipments
→ 20% of world oil supply gets choked
→ Prices surge on risk alone, markets don’t wait for a detonation

Iran doesn’t need to fully close the Strait.

They can just make it too expensive and too dangerous to use.

The fear and Panic will cause the crash.
