🎤 PODCAST
"If you can make 15-20% every year, it compounds bigly." - Paul Horvath
In the newest episode of Smart Humans, Slava Rubin talks with Orchard Global CEO Paul Horvath about Europe v. the U.S. and current macroeconomic trends.
📰 NOTABLE NEWS
🏡 Mortgage rates climbing: The Freddie Mac average 30-year fixed mortgage rate jumped 16 basis points to 6.38%, the largest one-week increase since last April. It has now risen 40 basis points in the last month, when it dipped below 6% for the first time since 2022. The war in Iran is largely to blame for the reversal, and the longer it drags on, the longer rates could remain elevated.
🏢 Blackstone’s $10 billion deal: The asset management giant is reportedly acquiring data center provider Rowan Digital Infrastructure in a $10 billion deal, as it continues to commit capital to AI infrastructure bets.
🪙 Crypto-backed mortgages: Fannie Mae will start accepting crypto-backed mortgages for the first time, allowing homebuyers to hold their crypto rather than sell it for cash. Both the mortgage company Better Home & Finance and crypto exchange Coinbase will offer the Fannie Mae-approved mortgages.
🚀 X-Energy files for IPO: The nuclear energy startup filed a draft registration statement with the SEC, and intends to go public on the Nasdaq with the ticker XE. No details have been released yet, but the company raised $700 million last November at an undisclosed valuation.
💵 Ares private credit loss: In addition to limiting investor withdrawals, the Ares Strategic Income Fund posted its largest monthly loss on record, dropping 0.68% in February as the downturn in private credit continues.
🤖 Reflection AI fundraise: The Nvidia-backed AI startup is now reportedly raising $2.5 billion at a $25 billion pre-money valuation, up from the $20 billion mark it had been targeting earlier this month and more than triple its last valuation of $8 billion.
