title: Wall Street Banks Monitor Private Credit Risk Amid AI Disruption

description: Major US financial institutions including JPMorgan and Citigroup are closely monitoring private credit exposure as artificial intelligence disruption and market outflows raise concerns. While JPMorgan remains comfortable with its $50 billion exposure, regulators and banks are adjusting frameworks to manage risks from non-bank financial institutions and potential post-IPO slumps in the private markets sector.

snippets: On the much-discussed question of software and technology sector concentration, Goldman notes that both private credit and the broadly syndicated leveraged loan market carry large weightings to the sector, meaning that any AI-related disruption to private credit portfolios would almost certainly affect syndicated markets equally.

snippets: Private credit has been in the spotlight after AI risks, fund outflows and fears of credit stress hammer alternative asset managers' stocks. The $3.5 trillion asset class has drawn in pension funds, insurers and wealthy individuals with the promise of steady, higher yields, but its rapid expansion into less liquid, harder-to-value loans has also raised concerns about how it would hold up under stress.

snippets: JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank by assets, reduced the value of the collateral behind some loans to private credit funds after reviewing the impact of market turmoil in software companies, two sources told Reuters last month.

snippets: These loans include both securitized loans backed by pools of assets and loans originated through its own underwriting on a loan-by-loan basis. Business development companies, investment vehicles often used by direct lenders, have gotten hit in recent months amid fears over valuations and the impact of AI on certain companies. That's led to a surge in redemption requests for BDCs tied to certain companies including Blue Owl Capital Inc. and Apollo Global Management Inc.

snippets: This shift represents a fundamental change in the plumbing of global finance. The move toward private credit is often characterized as "regulatory arbitrage"—capital moving from the highly regulated banking sector to the less regulated "shadow banking" sector. While this has allowed the economy to continue growing despite Basel III constraints, it has also moved systemic risk into less transparent corners of the market.

snippets: In Britain, finance minister Rachel Reeves has pushed regulators including the BoE to give greater weight to economic growth when making decisions. Bailey said financial stability cuts across private interests in the financial system, as well as governments seeking to boost economic growth by loosening regulation to increase lending - particularly when memories of past crises fade.

snippets: We're passing our own test, and we're comfortable with how we're sitting there, so the constant monitoring the risk capital framework, will play a role," Citigroup CFO Gonzalo Luchetti said on an earnings call. He said the bank was constantly stress-testing its portfolios, including in the private credit space, for a range of macroeconomic environments.

snippets: Citigroup reported in its presentation its exposure to non-bank financial institutions was $118 billion in the fourth quarter, of which $22 billion were considered private credit. The bank said the private credit exposure was restricted to 'tier-1' asset managers and the bank had zero losses over the life of the portfolio. Of the total $118 billion in loans, 76% were securitizations.

snippets: The firm saw $9 billion in private markets inflows in the first quarter, including a "multibillion-dollar" deal with an insurance client. Some retail-focused funds saw investors hitting limits on how much cash they could withdraw in the quarter, including BlackRock's own HPS Corporate Lending Fund, where investors looking to redeem 9.3% of their shares were told that only 5% of the fund's value would be returned.

snippets: The comments came after three of the six biggest U.S. lenders disclosed about $108 billion financing exposure to private credit or related loans during their quarterly earnings. Private credit has been in the spotlight after AI risks, fund outflows and fears of credit stress hammer alternative asset managers' stocks.

snippets: Other signs of stress have also emerged. Private credit funds, known as business development companies (BDCs), are getting hit with higher rates on their bank borrowings even as the historically high double-digit returns they make on private lending shrink.

snippets: Wall Street monitors private credit risk as AI disruption, outflows cause concern By Manya Saini, Saeed Azhar and Tatiana Bautzer April 14 (Reuters) – Wall Street executives said they were stress‑testing or monitoring private credit portfolios as the asset class comes under scrutiny, but said they were comfortable with their exposure. The comments came after three of the six biggest U.S. lenders disclosed about $108 billion financing […]

snippets: Blankfein's warning about retail exposure to private credit is the right one to heed. The $1.8 trillion private credit market has now reached the approximate size of the subprime mortgage market at its 2007 peak. The push by both Wall Street and the Trump administration to route this exposure through 401(k) plans, at the precise moment the cycle is turning, is a risk worth naming clearly. For allocators, the path forward is clear.

snippets: Elsewhere, insurer MetLife's CEO Michel Khalaf told the Semafor World Economy Summit in Washington on Monday that there may be some cracks in the private credit sector but not a sign that it's a bubble about to burst.

title: Botswana seals energy, mining deals with Oman

snippets: The downgrade reflects our view that global diamond demand will likely remain weak for longer, weighing on Botswana's already-strained economy and public finances," the New York-based agency said. Boko used his visit to France last week to meet employers federation MEDEF and publish an article in business daily La Tribune touting Botswana's appeal to investors.

snippets: Gaborone (Botswana) (AFP) – Botswana has signed energy and mining exploration agreements with Oman as it seeks to deepen economic ties with the sultanate, the presidency said.

snippets: A separate infrastructure deal includes storage at Namibia's port town of Walvis Bay and the Tshele Hills Strategic Petroleum Depot to bolster supply security. The presidency did not disclose the value of the deals. Botswana relies on diamonds for about a third of its gross domestic product, but revenues have fallen sharply due to weak prices and rising competition from lab-grown stones, which has curbed demand.

description: In March, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the country's long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings, citing "structural weakness in global diamond demand." "The downgrade reflects our view that global diamond demand will likely remain weak for longer, weighing on Botswana's already-strained economy and public finances," the New York-based agency said.

title: Konkurrenz für Starlink: Amazon kündigt Kauf von Globalstar an

description: Der US-Konzern Amazon hat den Kauf des US-Satellitenbetreibers Globalstar angekündigt. Amazon habe ein entsprechendes Abkommen unterzeichnet und werde den Aktionären von Globalstar ein Angebot von 90 Dollar pro Anteilsschein machen, teilte der Konzern am Dienstag mit. Globalstar hat Medienberichten zufolge einen Marktwert von rund neun Milliarden Dollar (7,6 Milliarden Euro).

snippets: Die Kooperation ermöglicht eine stärkere internationale Vernetzung und Positionierung in den Bereichen Gesundheit, Life Sciences, Quantenforschung sowie Nachhaltigkeit und Innovation. Damit wollen wir bestehende Verbindungen vertiefen, neue Kontakte knüpfen und Talente und spannende Partnerschaften für Basel gewinnen.

snippets: Ein möglicher Deal wäre für Amazon ein strategischer Schritt im Rennen um satellitengestütztes Internet. Der Konzern baut mit Amazon Leo ein eigenes Netzwerk im niedrigen Erdorbit auf, das mit mehr als 7.700 Satelliten vor allem ländliche und abgelegene Regionen versorgen soll. Bislang kommt das Projekt jedoch langsamer voran als geplant. Amazon hatte zuletzt beantragt, eine Frist für den Start von 1.600 Satelliten zu verlängern.

snippets: Doch der Spezialist wird durch zwei Faktoren besonders attraktiv: Zum einen hat das Unternehmen Rechte an wichtigen Frequenzbändern, die die Kommunikation ins All ohne externe Empfangseinheit ermöglichen. Möglich wird die Kommunikation durch ein globales Netz von Empfangsstationen am Boden.

snippets: Amazon hat heute die Übernahme von Globalstar bekannt gegeben, dem Unternehmen, das Apples Satellitenverbindungsfunktionen ermöglicht. Globalstar stellt die Satellitenkonstellation in der erdnahen Umlaufbahn (LEO) bereit, mit der sich iPhones und Apple Watches verbinden, wenn sie sich außerhalb der Mobilfunk- oder WLAN-Abdeckung befinden. Apple nutzt den Großteil der Netzwerkkapazität von Globalstar.

snippets: Starlink des Tech-Milliardärs Elon Musk hat bereits tausende Satelliten in der Umlaufbahn und ist im Geschäft unter anderem mit Airlines, die ihre Flugzeuge mit schnellem Internet ausrüsten. Amazons Leo-Satellitennetz, zunächst bekannt unter dem Namen Project Kuiper, ist noch im Aufbau.

snippets: Globalstar bietet Apple die Infrastruktur für die Satelliten-Notruffunktionen auf dem iPhone und der Apple Watch. Für iPhone- und Apple-Watch-Nutzer ändert sich mit Amazons Übernahme mittelfristig nichts. Im Hintergrund werden die Funktionen künftig über Amazon LEO weiterlaufen, da beide Unternehmen parallel zur Übernahme eine entsprechende Vereinbarung geschlossen haben und bei neuen Satellitendiensten zusammenarbeiten wollen.

snippets: É a Starlink que banca o restante da SpaceX: o negócio de lançamentos de foguetes gerou US$ 4,1 bilhões em receita e apenas US$ 700 milhões de EBITDA, enquanto a divisão de Inteligência Artificial xAI, recentemente incorporada à SpaceX, faturou US$ 3,2 bilhões mas queimou US$ 1,2 bilhão em EBITDA.

title: Konkurrenz für Musks Starlink: Amazon bietet Milliardensumme für Satellitenfirma Globalstar

description: Amazon baut sein Engagement im Weltall aus. Mehr als elf Milliarden Dollar bietet der Konzern für die Übernahme der Satellitenfirma Globalstar. Damit will der Online-Händler den Druck auf Elon Musks Starlink erhöhen.

snippets: Statt 2026 den FCC-Fristen hinterherzulaufen, sichert sich Amazon sofort ein einsatzfähiges Netz, harmonisierte Spektrumlizenz-Assets und einen prominenten Anker-Kunden in Apple. Das gibt Amazon Leo eine glaubwürdige Direct-to-Device-Story gegenüber SpaceX Starlink – und macht das Satellitennetz für Mobilfunkanbieter, Fluggesellschaften und IoT-Anwendungen attraktiver.

snippets: Starlink hat bereits Tausende Satelliten im Orbit. Amazon plant, durch die Übernahme von Globalstar und die Nutzung deren Frequenzen schneller ein eigenes, konkurrenzfähiges Netz aufzubauen und Satellitenkommunikation direkt auf Endgeräte zu ermöglichen. (Lesen Sie auch: Outdoor Lautsprecher im Test: Welcher Sound Passt… )

snippets: Amazon könnte mit Hilfe von Globalstar dem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink von US-Milliardär Elon Musk Konkurrenz machen. Der Konzern von Milliardär Jeff Bezos baut aktuell ein eigenes Satellitennetzwerk namens Leo auf. "Es gibt Milliarden von Kunden, die an Orten leben, reisen und arbeiten, die außerhalb der Reichweite bestehender Netzwerke liegen, und wir haben Amazon Leo ins Leben gerufen, um diese Lücke zu schließen", erklärte Konzernmanager Panos Panay am Dienstag.

snippets: Amazon macht in seiner Ankündigung auch deutlich, dass der direkte Satellit-zu-Gerät-Dienst von Leo nicht vor 2028 starten wird. Zudem soll der Zusammenschluss mit Globalstar voraussichtlich erst 2027 abgeschlossen sein. Bis dahin muss Amazon noch eine andere Herausforderung bewältigen: die Auflagen der US-Regulierungsbehörde FCC.

snippets: Mit einer milliardenschweren Übernahme will Amazon sein Satellitengeschäft stärken und zu Elon Musks (54) Starlink aufschließen. Der Internetkonzern kündigte am Dienstag die Übernahme von Globalstar für 11,57 Milliarden Dollar an.  Amazon arbeitet am Aufbau einer eigenen Satellitenflotte unter dem Namen Amazon Leo. Bis 2029 sollen dafür etwa 3200 Kleinsatelliten die Erdumlaufbahn gebracht werden. Sie sollen wie Starlink Sprach- und Datenverbindungen ermöglichen. Bisher hat Amazon knapp 250 Satelliten im Orbit.

description: Mit Amazon Leo arbeitet der Versandhändler an einem Satellitennetzwerk im Stile von Starlink. Bislang schweben allerdings nur wenige Amazon-Satelliten im Orbit. Ein Zukauf könnte das ändern. Globalstar ist dabei im Consumermarkt keine Unbekannte.

snippets: Das Kernelement der neuen Architektur ist nach Unternehmensangaben die Entkopplung von Server-Infrastruktur und Antennenlösung. Das System soll damit kompatibel sein mit Antennen für Konstellationen in niedrigen Erdumlaufbahnen (LEO) sowie in mittleren (MEO) und geostationären (GEO) Orbits. Stromversorgung und WLAN-Zugangspunkte sind dabei unabhängig vom jeweiligen Antennentyp und Satellitenanbieter ausgelegt.

snippets: Mit der Akquisition von Globalstar könnte Amazon nicht nur seine Infrastruktur für Satelliteninternet erweitern, sondern auch seine Position gegenüber Wettbewerbern wie SpaceX stärken, die mit ihrem Starlink-Projekt ebenfalls den Markt für Satelliteninternet anvisieren. Die Integration von Globalstars Technologie in Amazons bestehende Systeme könnte es dem Unternehmen ermöglichen, neue Dienste anzubieten oder bestehende zu verbessern.

snippets: Mit den Satelliten und den Frequenzen von Globalstar werde man mit der Zeit unter anderem Satellitenkommunikation direkt auf Geräten der Nutzer ohne zusätzliche Empfänger anbieten können, hiess es. Amazon will seine Verbindungen aus dem Erdorbit direkt auf die Smartphones der Nutzer den Mobilfunkbetreibern anbieten. Diese könnten damit Funklöcher dort stopfen, wo sie keine Handyantennen haben.

Dadurch würde das Unternehmen mit dem Aufbau seines eigenen Satellitengeschäfts vorankommen, berichtete die Nachrichtenagentur Bloomberg in der Nacht zum Dienstag und berief sich dabei auf mit der Sache vertraute Personen. Mit dem Satellitengeschäft könnte Amazon dem Starlink-Dienst von Tesla-Chef Elon Musk Konkurrenz machen.

snippets: Dem Bericht zufolge befinden sich Amazon und Globalstar in fortgeschrittenen Gesprächen. Der Übernahmeplan könnte noch im Laufe des Tages bekannt gegeben werden. Allerdings könnten die Verhandlungen auch scheitern oder sich länger hinziehen. Amazon lehnte eine Stellungnahme auf Nachfrage von Bloomberg ab. Globalstar reagierte zunächst nicht auf eine Bitte um Stellungnahme.

snippets: Die Transaktion sei bereits mehrheitlich von den Aktionären genehmigt worden. Sie soll vorbehaltlich behördlicher Genehmigungen im kommenden Jahr abgeschlossen werden, hiess es vom Unternehmen weiter. Amazon baut derzeit unter dem Namen Amazon Leo ein eigenes Netz aus Satelliten im niedrigen Orbit auf.

title: Earnings call transcript: JPMorgan Chase exceeds Q1 2026 earnings expectations

description: This means that the cost of credit from JPMorgan Chase to U.S. households and businesses is likely higher than it is from other domestic non-G-SIB banks. We recognize that we are larger and more systemically important than even large domestic peers. In the end, the question is how much more should the cost be? It is very hard to reconcile the principles articulated in the 2015 Fed G-SIB white paper with an outcome where JPMorgan Chase has $109 billion of G-SIB surcharge.

snippets: And in terms of the balance sheet, we ended the quarter with a standardized CET1 ratio 14.3%, down 30 basis points versus the prior quarter as net income was more than offset by capital distributions and higher RWA. This quarter's standardized RWA is up 60 billion, primarily driven by the markets business, reflecting higher client activity, seasonal effects and higher energy prices which resulted in higher RWA across market risk and credit risk ex lending.

snippets: Jim Mitchell, Analyst, Seaport Global Securities : Okay. Just to follow up on the balance sheet growth in markets, it has been strong, I think up over 20% year-over-year. Would you say when you think about the impact of the G-SIB surcharge on JPMorgan specifically, does that start to impinge your ability to grow that as much as you want? How is that factoring into your capital decision in the markets business?

description: Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, JPMorgan Chase : No, I was quite clear. I don't think so. I gave the big numbers. Private credit leveraged lending is like $1.7 trillion. High yield bonds are something like $1.7 trillion. Bank syndicated leverage loans are like $1.7 trillion. Investment grade debt's $13 trillion. Mortgage debt's like $13 trillion. There's a lot of other stuff out there.

snippets: And then third one, the phone, I think it's also important to look at a lot of it is hygiene. Is your new software being tested before it goes in place? If you ask them to do certain things to protect their company, how do you protect your data, how do you protect your networks, your routers, your hardware, changing your passcodes? I mean, a lot of it's just doing all those things right, dramatically reduce the risk and you've seen a Lot of banks,

snippets: But the cyber risk isn't isolated to banks. It's like you can look at almost any industry. And also banks, of course, are attached to exchanges and all these other things that create other layers of risk, which we work with a lot of people to protect themselves. So it is a complex one. It's a full-time job, and we're doing it all the time. And while we're trying to get the benefits of AI, we also are very cognizant of the risk of cyber. I think the government's aware of it, too.

description: Underwriting, diversification, cash flow trapping, et cetera, which is why we're broadly comfortable with it. I just thought it would be worth sizing that in that context. There are obviously other pieces of that, like direct lending or subscription lines, that are variously in or out of very different measures and that you could consider in a broader definition.

snippets: In the report, OpenAI's leadership pushed back hard. Last month, Altman secured a $122 billion funding round, the largest private fundraising in Silicon Valley history, from over 25 blue-chip investors, including SoftBank, Amazon, Nvidia, Andreessen Horowitz, and Sequoia Capital, FT noted. CFO Sarah Friar told the FT the raise was oversubscribed and completed in record time.

snippets: The financing picture adds another layer of complexity. OpenAI recently completed what has been described as a $122 billion recapitalization round, structured around vendor deals and contingent capital rather than straightforward equity investment. That kind of financial engineering can work, but it tends to make institutional investors nervous when they are already asking questions about unit economics and the path to profitability.
