A financial crisis may be coming - it won't be like last time

In 2007, investments in risky US mortgages went sour as homeowners struggled to pay. Funds run by Bear Stearns, BNP Paribas and other banks either had to freeze the ability of investors to take out their money, or liquidate the funds completely.

These problems were the canaries in what proved to be a very deep financial coal mine. As nervousness spread, even banks eventually stopped lending to each other for fear of not getting their money back, creating a so-called “credit crunch”. That caused a global financial crisis.

Fast forward to today.

Several funds which lend money have declared losses or restricted investors’ ability to take out their money. BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo and Blue Owl have all faced demands for billions of withdrawals from private credit funds - institutions that provide an alternative to traditional banks.

Europe fuel prices before the Iran war and after the ceasefire: Where did they rise most?

Fuel prices in Europe rose rapidly following the US–Israel strike on Iran and peaked shortly afterwards.

While prices declined moderately after the ceasefire, both diesel and petrol remain notably higher than pre-strike levels.
