China just hit another record, though not the kind officials want to talk about. Not record growth. Not record confidence. Not record consumer spending. A record decline in household borrowing. Chinese households are not just borrowing less. They are pulling back at a pace we have not seen before in comparable data. And that is the real warning because this is exactly where China's worsening downturn becomes much harder to explain away.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

Most people think they understand the dollar. When the dollar goes up, they think that means America is strong. Good economy. Good policy. Maybe the Federal Reserve is doing a good job and investors are “choosing America.” And when the dollar goes down, they think that must be bad. Inflation. Debasement. Money printing. The end of dollar dominance and the famous “dollar doom” story. But what if those are completely backwards?Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

India is now being forced to ration diesel fuel for the first time maybe ever. At the same time, global stocks of crude oil are at their lowest since 2003. Even inventories here in the US have been drained to levels we haven't witnessed in 20 years. In other words, as hopes for a peace deal with Iran rise, our attention must now turn to this critical next stage. While the conflict might subside, hopefully, this thing is far from over. Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre-------------------------------------------------------------If you have a retirement account and you've been wondering whether crypto belongs inside it, BlockTrustIRA is something worth looking into.

Let's talk about inflation going up and deflation as a wish….

The European Central Bank just raised rates on Thursday into an economy that is already shrinking. That sentence should sound familiar, because Europe has done this before. Not once. Twice. The two questions we now want to ask are, first, whether the ECB's action will pull others including the Fed into this rate hiking gambit. Second, how long could they hang on hawking before they have to turn around. And what can the markets tell us about both. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis-------------------------------------------------------------If you have a retirement account and you've been wondering whether crypto belongs inside it, BlockTrustIRA is something worth looking into.

The Asian currency crisis is escalating and it's forcing governments all over the region to get desperate. From India to Indonesia, South Korea and Japan, their situations are becoming a genuine threat to stability. When a country's currency falls because of a dollar shortage, it is not just a foreign-exchange problem. It is not just a bad day on a currency chart.

What Is a Credit Cycle — and Where Are We in It? These are questions that keep coming up with everything that's happening in…the credit market.

Oil - Not like 2008, 2022Top - Not seeing typical ingredients to a major market topBubble - Not in equities, but in soverign debt issuance

Bond yields rose sharply on Friday, but why? What you'll hear is that inflation and a strong economy will force the Fed to hike. But that's only half true – the possibility of the rate hike. All the rest of it, not so much. Both markets and American consumers agree wholeheartedly on all of it. In fact, on Friday, inflation expectations in Treasuries dropped to their lowest levels since early March. Yeah, lowest since the start of the conflict and they were never high to begin with.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

We're used to seeing this kind of thing out of the payroll reports, but I don't think anyone really expected this. Red flags are up all over the May data, coming from all sides.

While all eyes are on Iran and oil, the energy shock is only adding more urgency to a brewing economic battle between two of the world's biggest markets.

Blackstone's flagship private credit fund just did something it had never done before. Investors tried to pull out about 10% of the fund's shares. Blackstone finally and for the first time ever said, NO. The $79 billion Blackstone Private Credit Fund, known as B-CRED, told shareholders it would only allow 5% of shares to be redeemed.

The private credit bust is no longer staying inside private credit. Investors are now pulling money out of a major Swiss private **equity** fund. As the guy once said, this is a big f-ing deal. For months, the story was supposed to be contained. A few private credit funds had redemption pressure. A few non-traded BDCs had to limit withdrawals. Some flighty investors supposedly misunderstood the liquidity terms. The industry's defense was simple: this is not a credit crisis. This is just a liquidity education problem.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fresh Investor Retreat Reignites Debate on Private Credit Peakhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-06-03/fresh-investor-exits-test-private-credit-faithfulPartners Caps Evergreen Fund Redemptions as Requests Risehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-03/partners-group-gates-evergreen-fund-as-redemption-requests-riseWeakest BDCs' Bonds Risk Downgrade to Junk Within Six Monthshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-29/weakest-bdcs-bonds-risk-downgrade-to-junk-within-six-monthsCliffwater Private Credit Fund Stung by 17% Redemption Requestshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-02/cliffwater-private-credit-fund-stung-by-17-redemption-requestshttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUI'll also be active on Bravais Social - a new AI-centered social network designed for professionals and knowledge workers.

European banks are doing something that looks irrational. The European Central Bank is increasingly likely to raise its short-term policy rates again. Oil prices are still elevated. Energy costs are feeding into headline inflation. ECB officials keep coming on hawkish. And normally, if you believe short-term rates are going higher, the last thing you're going to do is rush into government bonds. But European banks are doing exactly that. And in huge amounts. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis-------------------------------------------------------------If you have a retirement account and you've been wondering whether crypto belongs inside it, BlockTrustIRA is something worth looking into.

Canada just “unexpectedly” fell into a technical recession. But the important part is not just that Canada contracted. The important part is that Canada's contraction is lining up with the same weakness now spreading through France, the UK, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, and increasingly the rest of the global system.

For the first time in this cycle, the money going out of major private credit vehicles has surpassed the money coming in. That is the headline, how private credit machine is now facing sustained investor outflows. Stage 2. And here's the other big part of that – these net outflows are indeed forcing asset sales onto an industry that was never really built for this. That means we're already deeper into Stage 2 than most people would think.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Private Credit BDC Redemptions Exceed Fundraising for First Timehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-14/private-credit-bdc-redemptions-exceed-fundraising-for-first-timePrivate Credit's Unthinkable Becomes Reality as Trading Revs Uphttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-21/private-credit-s-unthinkable-becomes-reality-as-trading-revs-upFitch Ratings' U.S. Private Credit Default Rate Hits a High of 6.0% in April 2026https://www.fitchratings.com/research/corporate-finance/fitch-ratings-us-private-credit-default-rate-hits-high-of-6-0-in-april-2026-18-05-2026?cs=0&hl=en-US&biw=1600&bih=731Private Credit Fund Touts Quick Profit Buying Debt at 65 Centshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-05/private-credit-fund-touts-quick-profit-buying-debt-at-65-centsGoldman Sachs Private Credit Fund's Share of Bad Loans Riseshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-07/goldman-sachs-private-credit-fund-s-share-of-bad-loans-increasesHSBC Drags Feet on $4 Billion Private Credit Investment Efforthttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-15/hsbc-drags-feet-on-4-billion-private-credit-investment-effortAMP Trims ‘Frothy' Private Credit Assets in Investment Pivothttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-18/amp-trims-frothy-private-credit-assets-in-investment-pivothttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

While rumors and reports swirl about a possible Iran deal, the clock is still ticking for an economy that's way too close to the point of no return on the energy shock. In fact, for Europe, there is a nontrivial chance it's already gone past. With the latest data out on Friday, the economic numbers for May so far got slammed.

The dollar is rising again, and this time the pressure is showing up right across Asia. The Japanese yen is weak.  The South Korean won is tumbling.  The Indonesian rupiah is crashing. The Indian rupee keeps finding new ways to give officials fits. At the same time the dollar is rising against these Asian currencies, the very front of the U.S. dollar interest-rate market is doing something absolutely incredible. Shocking even. Completely the opposite of what you'd think. And here's the thing – these two developments are related. Why the dollar is hammering Asia most of all and how that would play out in rates. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Lowe's had some more bad news about the American consumer. CEO Marvin Ellison said “This has been the most difficult housing market that I have faced in this business since the financial crisis.” Lowe's is hardly alone. Walmart said higher income shoppers are still trading down while lower income Americans are, well, they're running out of their tax refund money. And then there is Kroger. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flash PMI signals subdued growth in May amid price surgehttps://www.pmi.spglobal.com/Public/Home/PressRelease/d7a15ea4f43c4e3493db3814db67ad99Lowe's CEO says this is the 'most difficult housing market' since the financial crisishttps://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/article/lowes-ceo-says-this-is-the-most-difficult-housing-market-since-the-financial-crisis-170512082.htmlKroger Plans Biggest Price Cuts In Years to Take On Walmart, Costcohttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-21/kroger-plans-biggest-price-cuts-in-years-to-take-on-walmart-costcohttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDUI'll also be active on Bravais Social - a new AI-centered social network designed for professionals and knowledge workers.

Treasury yields have finally made a sizable move upward. The 2-year Treasury has pushed to new multi-month highs. The 10-year got as high as 4.70%. And instantly, the usual question shows up:Is the bond market finally repricing real inflation risk?

China's downturn just produced a major hit and it has officials stumped. It was the kind of bad that confirms almost everything already showing up in China's credit data, banking system, property market, and bond market. Retail sales nearly cracked. Worst month since the lockdowns. Fixed asset investment is crashing again. Yes, crashing. Industrial production, which had been one of the few remaining bright spots, suddenly didn't look so bright. Home prices were down for the twelfth straight time. It was ugly in every direction. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to: https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

The Justice Department is now probing valuations at a BlackRock private credit fund. That sentence should stop everyone cold. Not because BlackRock is about to disappear. It isn't. Not because one fund valuation probe means anyone has been proven to have done anything wrong. It doesn't. A probe is not a conviction, and we need to be clear about that. But because the single biggest weakness in private credit has always been valuations.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------What is a Eurodollar University membership?

While the ECB and other central banks, maybe even the Fed, are likely to overreact to oil prices by raising their policy rates, suddenly that possibility isn't so straightforward. Even in Europe where policymakers are the most aggressively hawkish, several officials have come forward expressing major doubts on the inflation narrative, focusing instead on what's already going on with demand especially for workers. And that's not oil, two of the world's leading energy agencies just slashed their own demand forecasts to levels you only see in periods like 2020 or 2009. Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

India is now doing what governments do when the dollar problem starts getting too close to the bone: it is looking for imports it can cut, restrict, tax, license, delay, or possibly even ban. And right at the top of that list sits gold and silver. That might sound like a metals story. It isn't. Not entirely.

Everyone is talking about the Trump-Xi summit as if this is going to be some decisive turning point for China, global trade, maybe even the whole world economy. And, sure, politically, it's a huge deal.

The stock market was going to boom either way. Payrolls could have been plus 200 or minus 200, indexes were going to soar no matter what. Either the economy is robust or the other would mean the Fed will be forced to cut a lot of rates. But what the jobs data actually showed, no one was looking for. Complete shock yet again. Sure, the payroll number did what the payroll number always does, it was everything else. Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

McDonald's CEO says the consumer environment is certainly not improving and may be getting a little worse after the company reported better than expected past results. Those mainly before the gas prices jumped. Jumping over to big ticket items like appliances, Whirlpool, the company that employs the Maytag Man, it compared the current consumer climate to  – not joking – 2008-09 as the cracks of demand destruction are indeed beginning to grow wider and becoming more noticeable.

The stock market was not happy with HSBC. The banking giant reported what should have been a small nothing, a $400mm loss on a loan to an Irish entity with a name that sounds like a Star Wars droid. AGF WHCO 1-A5. But that $400mm loan and loss ended up pulling back the curtain a little more on the current credit crisis.

According to the Energy Information Administration, the national average price for gasoline was $4.26 per gallon at the end of April and it was largely stable throughout last month. Not good. Certainly painful. But wholesale gas price has exploded higher in recent weeks and that means retail gas prices are about to do the same thing. The wholesale cost points to a nationwide pump price of $5. Not next month, soon.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Learn more about Augusta Precious Metals and what they have to offer - including physical gold for IRA accounts - by going to https://EurodollarGold.com or text EURO to 35052. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just a Few Stocks Driving S&P 500 Rally Triggers Dot-Com Bubble Flashbackshttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-05/dot-com-bubble-flashbacks-triggered-by-lack-of-s-p-500-breadthRCM/TIPP Steadies In May As Stress Easeshttps://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2026/05/05/rcmtipp_steadies_in_may_as_stress_eases_1180584.htmlhttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU

We know how central bankers are just itching to raise policy rates and all over the world, led primarily by those in Europe. The hawkishness is already spreading. Just today, an official from South Korea's central bank said, hey, oil prices up we need to think about some hikes, too. But what are the markets pricing? It's not what you'd think.  What do the curves look like for now but also beyond the near-term?

Will this week's economic data be enough to keep central bankers from chasing oil prices with rate hikes? Europe was barely positive. Canada bounced back but that's two up and two down over the last year. Mexico, which, keep in mind, is a proxy for the US, big time contraction. And the US itself missed with weakness all over consumers.
