Mechanics, model, bridges and risks, put into data.16 min readregulationThe CLARITY Act: the bill set to redraw crypto regulation in the United StatesHow a 309-page bill is about to end ten years of turf war between the SEC and the CFTC, and what it changes for the industry.14 min readprivate creditPrivate credit, June 2026: a record default, and liquidity closing offFitch's broad default rate stays stuck at 6% in May, semi-liquid funds cap redemptions for the second quarter running, and regulators shift from observation to vigilance. The state of US private credit at mid-2026, on primary sources.6 min readAIWhen $110 billion of collateral isn't enough to borrow $6 billionSoftBank's talks to raise at least $6 billion via a margin loan backed by its stake in OpenAI have stalled.9 min readchinaChinese real estate: anatomy of a risk that settles inFive years after the tightening of the 'three red lines', Chinese real estate is not collapsing at once: it is sagging, slowly, and diffusing its risk toward developers, local governments and household savings. A quantified, sourced state of play, without catastrophism or denial.12 min readreal estateCommercial real estate: the 2026 refinancing wall, and the regional linkClose to $1 trillion of commercial real-estate debt matures in 2026, taken out at 3-4% and to be refinanced at 6-7%, against buildings worth 20 to 40% less. The epicentre is the office, and transmission runs through regional banks, over-exposed. Anatomy of a delayed-action risk, between contained and contagious.9 min readuraniumUranium: a market in deficit, the promise of AI, and hidden bottlenecksThe uranium spot price has crossed $100 a pound, reactor demand is set to double by 2040, and AI's electricity needs are plugging nuclear back in.

A full, sourced analysis, thesis and antithesis.9 min readmacroGilts: the market the Bank of England wants to deleverage before the next accidentThe Bank of England is preparing limits on hedge-fund leverage in gilt repo.

The Detroit press investigation shows that its tokens often pointed to houses whose deeds the company did not hold. Autopsy of a bricks-and-mortar RWA, and of the flaw it reveals.6 min readmacroUS import prices: +1.9% in a month, but read the fine printUS import prices jump 1.9% in May 2026, +6.7% year on year. The figures are accurate. But behind the headline, fuel does all the work, and the idea that these indices could replace the CPI does not hold. A read of the BLS data.5 min readyenDollar-yen: the risk is not only the level, it is the unwindUSD/JPY above 161, a more restrictive BoJ, the threat of Japanese intervention: the main risk is less an FX line than a carry-trade and liquidity shock.4 min readmarketsSpaceX goes public, 12 June 2026: the red carpet the SEC rolls out for the most expensive IPO in history by bending its own rulesAccelerated SEC review, a single take-it-or-leave-it price of $135, 30 percent of the offer reserved for retail and a moonshot S-1 promising AI compute satellites in orbit: anatomy of the largest listing ever, its financial risks and the huge short position flagged by Arkham.

A rigorous analysis, from fact to scenario.4 min readmacroPrivate credit in 2026: the new king of shadow banking starts to cough (and stammer on withdrawals)$2 trillion of AUM, still-sexy yields, but the cracks are showing: exploding redemptions at BDCs, PIK doubling, shadow defaults.

Behind stable NAVs hides a liquidity problem that worries investors more and more.13 min readmacroThe dollar rebound: how far before the central banks strike back?The DXY gained 2.3% in June 2026 and touched a thirteen-month high after the Fed's hawkish dot plot. The yen sits beyond 160 despite 11.7 trillion yen of intervention, the ECB and the BoJ raise their rates. Anatomy of a rebound, and of the possible responses.6 min readmacroDe-dollarisation: the narrative versus the numbersThe word is everywhere, the thing much less so. The dollar's share in reserves, payments and FX: what the primary data say (IMF, SWIFT, BIS, World Gold Council), and why 'de-dollarisation' badly names what is happening.
