As once-vocal inflation hawk Kevin Warsh prepares for his first meeting as the central bank’s chair, prices are now rising at a sharp 4% rate. In this week’s Viewsroom, Breakingviews columnists debate how he can square the obvious remedy with President Trump’s rate-cut demands.
Few harness tech hype and greed like Elon Musk, a modern alloy of Wernher von Braun and PT Barnum. Despite a crazed valuation, shares in his rockets-to-chatbot firm leapt 11% on launch. That sets the stage for other debutants to put a market value on humanity’s salvation or doom.
Apollo wants a venue with daily pricing of murkily valued non-bank loans, which could make it easier for investors to sell. Pimco and others worry low volumes would distort the figures. Although illiquid IOUs are a mere $20 bln market, the fiery fracas will come to a head soon.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his counterparts are reluctantly contemplating action to address a yawning €360 bln deficit with the People’s Republic. In this week’s Viewsroom, Breakingviews columnists debate whether the continent can actually form a united front.
Banks behind the rockets-to-AI venture’s $2 trln IPO are now ballparking market caps as much as 400% higher in fawning new reports. Oddly, the wilder the target, the lower the revenue estimates. It echoes the cult of Tesla: dimmer results simply presage a brighter promise beyond.
Small money manager Cox Capital offered to buy shares of non-traded Apollo, Ares and BlackRock HPS loan vehicles at 15% to 30% discounts. Crystallizing losses would sting, but skipping lines to cash out and buy elsewhere is also tempting. The sticky part: pricing the trades.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are both riding high on tech. Deal fees bulged while they combined for $14 bln in revenue from buying and selling equity. Euphoria abounds, helping close a valuation gap between the duo. The challenge is spinning it into something more lasting.
The private equity firm's $1.3 trln of assets are bulging with chatbot-themed investments. That’s helping its real estate unit, scarred by an exodus of small-time investors, mount a data center-focused comeback. If it holds, it’s a hopeful sign for woes elsewhere in the business.
The credit-focused shop led by Michael Arougheti is circling private equity firm Leonard Green and the $85 bln it manages. A deal of this sort would reverse the typical expansion route. Greater significance of retail investors and fund size invites consolidation in many forms.
