Dimon Warns of Rising Risks in Bank Lending and Corporate Debt

Blue Owl Capital's co-CEO Marc Lipschultz defends the private credit market amid recent bankruptcies of Tricolor Holdings and First Brands Group, arguing these issues reflect problems in syndicated markets rather than private credit. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned of potential hidden risks in credit markets, but Lipschultz emphasizes the resilience of private credit portfolios and downplays the significance of recent failures as indicative of broader systemic issues.

China's Bank Loan Growth Continues to Decline in July

China's new bank loans in July fell to their lowest level since 2009, with weak credit growth and a decline in household and corporate loans. Despite interest rate cuts and promises of further support for the economy, weak demand at home and abroad has hindered China's economic momentum. Analysts expect more rate cuts and increased government bond issuance, but unless there is an improvement in business and household sentiment, credit growth is unlikely to improve significantly. The weak credit readings come after other grim economic data, including deflation and plummeting exports and imports, adding pressure on Beijing to implement more forceful stimulus measures.

"The Economic Threat of Empty Offices"

With many people still working from home, companies are cutting back on office space, which threatens to unleash even more headwinds for the US economy. Nearly 20% of office spaces are currently empty across the United States, exceeding the vacancy rate during the 2008 global financial crisis. If companies continue to give up their leases and if demand for office space remains sluggish, office landlords won't be able to collect the rents needed to keep up with mortgage payments to pay off commercial loans, according to analysts.

The Loose Financial Situation in La-La-Land Despite Fed Tightening and Bank Collapses.

Despite the Federal Reserve's tightening and bank collapses, financial conditions and lending standards are still looser than the long-term average, though they have become somewhat less loosey-goosey than during the free-money era. The weekly St. Louis Fed Financial Stress Index measures financial stress in the credit markets and was designed to indicate when another financial crisis might be at the doorstep. Loan demand is down from businesses and consumers, which makes sense because interest rates have risen, and borrowing has become more expensive and isn’t a freebee anymore. More loan officers on net reported tightening lending standards across the board, except for consumer mortgages backed by the government.

"Federal Reserve and Economist Express Concerns Over Tightening Credit Standards in Commercial Real Estate"

The turn in bank lending standards, identified in the Fed senior loan officer survey released on Monday, could signal trouble for the commercial real estate market and the broader economy. Historically, tightening lending standards have led to a slowdown in economic growth and a rise in defaults. The implications of this trend are yet to be seen, but it is worth keeping an eye on as inflation continues to be a concern.
