Private Credit Default Storm Brewing Amid AI Disruption Fears
Major banks are projecting private credit default rates of 8-15%, with Morgan Stanley citing AI-driven disruption particularly threatening the software sector. This coincides with a collapse in global growth optimism from 39% to 7%, suggesting widespread reassessment of credit risk across technology-exposed portfolios.
The convergence of AI disruption fears and extended high rates creates a perfect storm for private credit markets, potentially triggering broader financial system stress.
