Fed Holds Rates Steady, Pausing for Further Inflation Progress

Today the world of private equity and credit is a rancid pool of conflicts and illegality that cannot possibly be seen as superior to public markets. Private equity executives even enjoy special tax provisions from Congress for "carried interest" to reward them for their efforts in soaking investors. Advocates of private schemes like crypto tokens, which are explicitly not considered securities, buy and sell Members of Congress like chattel.

Chris Whalen, former banker and risk analyst weighs in on the latest concerns in private credit on the back of this week’s headlines including JPMorgan Chase restricting some lending to private credit funds after marking down the value of certain software-linked loans in its portfolios. AS well as Morgan Stanley and Cliffwater capping withdrawals from their private credit funds

Iran’s new supreme leader said the Strait of Hormuz should remain shut and Tehran will look to open other fronts in the war if the US and Israel persist with their attacks.

In his first public comments since succeeding his father at the weekend, Mojtaba Khamenei said the Islamic Republic would seek to ensure the critical waterway for oil and gas stays effectively closed — maintaining a choke on supplies that’s triggered a surge in global energy prices.

His statement — published on state media on Thursday — came as US President Donald Trump said preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons and being a threat to the Middle East is “of far greater interest and importance to me” than the cost of oil.The defiance shown by both leaders indicates that the war in the Middle East isn’t close to a de-escalation after almost two weeks of fighting. Israel launched a fresh wave of large-scale strikes across Iran on Thursday, while the Islamic Republic stepped up attacks on Dubai and shipping assets.

WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair (Ashley Fliehr) has joined Self-Care Is For Everyone (SCIFE) as the brand’s first Angel Investor and official Brand Champion. Ashley’s investment will directly fund SCIFE’s expansion from a viral apparel-led advocacy brand into a multi-platform mental health media and product company. For Ashley, this investment is deeply personal — as an elite performer who has navigated the pressures of global visibility, injury, reinvention, and resilience, she believes mental strength and emotional well-being are foundational to long-term success. 

Backing SCIFE is her commitment to normalizing self-care conversations and ensuring mental health support is accessible, aspirational, and stigma-free for the next generation. She speaks with Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Norah Mulinda.
