Banks are stepping back from risks, leaving private credit at the forefront

Despite Nvidia’s stronger-than-expected results and upbeat guidance, investor sentiment remained fragile. A mixture of fatigue and doubts about AI, shifting expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut in December, and a rise in long-term Japanese yields fuelled sharp swings across equity markets. This week, investors will closely monitor the continuing Russia–Ukraine discussions for signs of an end to the conflict.

Nicolas Faller sprach mit Finanz und Wirtschaft über die jüngsten Veränderungen in der Investitionslandschaft, insbesondere auf den Privatmärkten, und darüber, welche Auswirkungen diese in Verbindung mit der einzigartigen wirtschaftlichen Lage der Schweiz auf die Investitionsströme haben.

Doubts over a December interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and concerns over the scale and timing of AI-related capex weighed on sentiment, underscoring the fragile market landscape. Now that the US government’s 43-day shutdown has ended, investors are awaiting the delayed September non-farm payrolls report this week. The publication of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s meeting and Nvidia’s earning report, both on Wednesday, will be also closely scrutinised.
