Debt funds have doubled their share of the UK real estate lending market over the last five years as banks, constrained by post-crisis regulations, have lost ground in the direct lending market

Global debt rose for a fifth consecutive quarter in Q1 2026, increasing by more than $4.4 trillion to a record high of over $350 trillion, with the increase concentrated largely in the United States and China.

The debt of gratitude we owe Michael Milken is grossly underrated. Not enough people know or understand the extent to which Michael Milken is an American hero. By inventing junk bonds, he revolutionized capitalism, putting inefficiency and corporate complacency in the crosshairs. Armed with only a "highly confident" letter, anyone could be a hunter and anyone could be prey. Milken's innovation meant that new ideas flourished, and CEOs were forced to adopt an "evolve or die" mentality. There are now millions of people have jobs because of Michael Milken. America itself is more competitive globally because of him. And after he got out of jail, he revolutionized how we approach philanthropy and cancer research. And despite his pardon, he still has a lifetime ban from the SEC (since 1990) for the securities industry. Travesty. Read these books: Barbarians At The Gate Den of Thieves Predators' Ball Highly Confident: The Crime and Punishment of Michael Milken Although probably not Milken-level, @MartinShkreli is banned from pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Total travesty. Shkreli deserves a pardon ASAP. He bounced back from a politicized prison sentence and immediately mastered crypto and AI. MAHA needs his brain more than ever.

Foreign debt demand is no longer keeping up with America's growing debt: Foreign official holdings of US Treasuries are down to 12.5% of total Treasuries outstanding, the lowest this century. This percentage has declined -24 points since the 2009 peak. Over this period, marketable US Treasury debt has surged +$23 trillion, or +379%, to $29.1 trillion, near an all-time high. At the same time, US Treasuries held by foreign government entities have increased by just +$1.5 trillion, or +63%, to ~$3.9 trillion. China's Treasury holdings have more than halved, to $651.1 billion, the lowest since September 2008. The US is issuing record levels of debt.

Auto debt is becoming a bigger problem for consumers, a new report shows. Total auto debt reached $1.68 trillion at the end of 2025 — a 37% increase since late 2018, when the debt was at $1.23 trillion, according to a new analysis by The Century Foundation, a left-leaning think tank, and Protect Borrowers, a consumer advocacy group, provided exclusively to CNBC. That figure includes traditional installment loans and leases. Learn more about the surge in auto debt:
