The Mark Walter Scandal Could Expose Billions in Private Credit Losses

Eurodollar University

Show Notes

What is happening inside Mark Walter’s financial empire - which until recently included the LA Lakers - has the potential to blow the lid off the entire private credit story - if not the whole debt cycle. A billion-dollar loan connected to Guggenheim Investments is trading at roughly 73 cents on the dollar, a price normally associated with serious distress. And that's only where this crazy story begins.

Pending home sales in the United States just fell to the lowest level ever recorded. Not the lowest since mortgage rates went above 7%. Not the lowest since the pandemic. The lowest since the National Association of Realtors began tracking the data in 2001. Worse than 2020. Worse than 2008. And pending sales are not the only housing indicator flashing red.

It's volumes, not dollars. How much product is actually being moved or not. What convenience stores are reporting isn't just more evidence for what the Census Bureau finally figure out in the wake of the massive retail sales downgrade. The energy shock is really dragging on Americans.

I have never seen anything like this before. With the stroke of the Census Bureau’s pen, more than 5% of retail sales…disappeared. Five. Not a single volatile category. Not some tiny seasonal adjustment. One-twentieth of the entire retail-sales universe—consumer spending on goods and some services—was erased from the data going all the way back to 2022. Gone.

Everyone is talking about rate hikes and hot inflation. Yesterday’s CPI was supposedly another reason to sell Treasuries. Today’s PPI was supposed to confirm it. Yields initially surged, commentators dusted off the usual higher-for-longer clichés, and the Federal Reserve’s imagined war against inflation was once again declared the only story that mattered. Then the bond market rejected the entire narrative.
