ON OUR MINDS THIS MONTH

Private credit has rapidly grown from a niche institutional strategy into one of the most talked about corners of the investment world, but Jeffrey Gundlach believes the industry may be entering a dangerous stage.

THIS MONTH'S MARKET LENS

 This chart shows that a small group of AI-related stocks now makes up about 40% of the U.S. stock market. Historically, similar periods of concentration have happened with railroads, the Nifty Fifty, Japan, and the early 2000s tech bubble, and they often led to more volatile markets when leadership eventually broadened or reversed. This emphasizes the risks of chasing the most crowded trades and highlights the importance of rebalancing and diversification.
