AI-Bitcoin-Private Credit Trifecta Could Upend Markets, Leuthold Warns

Leuthold Group warns that the convergence of AI, bitcoin and private credit forms a largely underappreciated market threat, signaling higher volatility and potential cross-asset stress as these themes intertwine. The firm has cut its tech exposure and shifted toward financials and healthcare, favoring big banks (JPM, Morgan Stanley), biotech/pharma, and gold miners, while steering clear of regional banks and consumer lenders. They also flag a crypto-financing link that could spark liquidity issues if bitcoin prices slide, with yield-curve dynamics seen as a tailwind for banks.

AI-Driven Private Markets Set Stage for 2026 Opportunity

Blackstone’s 2026 Investment Perspectives argue that AI-driven productivity, moderating inflation, and cheaper capital underpin a multi-year expansion in private markets across private equity, real estate, credit, and infrastructure. AI is driving a significant CapEx cycle in data centers, chips, and digital infrastructure funded largely from cash flow, with growth being resilient but uneven as labor markets cool. A rebound in deal activity and exits, aided by lower financing costs, supports a cyclical upswing; real estate is in early recovery, private credit offers durable income with downside protection, and infrastructure demand remains strong from energy transition and AI needs. International markets show opportunity in India and Japan, with Europe offering selective bets. Blackstone stresses disciplined underwriting, data-driven insights, and platform scale to capitalize in 2026.
