Conflict in Iran: the Strait of Hormuz closure and wider economic shock (March 24, 2026)
Q: What stands out about the market reaction so far to the Iran conflict and potential energy disruption?

A full guide to Fed independence (January 20, 2026)
Q: Why is Fed independence in the spotlight today more so than it's been even in the past few months?
Recent political investigations, particularly against Fed Chairman Jay Powell, have escalated concerns regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve.
Credit: canaries in the coal mine, or a healthy reality check (November 10, 2025)
Q: If you see a slowdown in the broader economy, where might we actually see it first in the private credit markets?

Credit: canaries in the coal mine, or a healthy reality check (November 10, 2025)
Q: So what's your view on this? What red flags in the market would make you more cautious?
There are three categories to watch: a macro slowdown indicated by weaker earnings, liquidity squeeze shown by wider primary concessions, and funding stress reflected in the speeds of loans.
