Moses Ventures Founder Danny Moses, immortalized in The Big Short, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss the state of US markets as the Iran conflict introduces a new set of headwinds. Moses also weighs in on the state of private credit, saying that today's private credit worries "rhyme with previous cycles" of market pessimism, in particular the lead-up to the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. Moses adds that "it's in the back of people's minds... if private credit goes, the Fed's going to have no choice but to bail it out, and they're probably right." Moses also weighs in on the potential financial and labor market impacts of AI, the Fed's monetary policy path, betting markets, and more. Moses speaks with Bloomberg News Equities Reporter Alexandra Semenova alongside Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
