Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and hedge fund manager Scott Bessent warned Wall Street CEOs about escalating AI-driven cyber threats ahead of major bank earnings reports, citing attacks evolving at machine speed. Cybersecurity CEO Vlad Rikhter emphasized the urgent need for defenses against AI-powered cyberattacks, which exploit vulnerabilities faster than human-led security teams can respond, reshaping financial sector risk models. Geopolitical tensions surged as President Trump pressed Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz amid Israel-Hezbollah clashes, with analysts calling diplomacy the only viable solution before weekend peace talks. New U.S. inflation data linked economic strain to the Iran conflict, signaling immediate market impacts as energy prices rise and supply chain disruptions deepen ahead of critical earnings season. Goldman Sachs’ Richard Ramsden noted rising cyber and geopolitical risks could force banks to overhaul risk assessments, while private credit markets show cooling—not collapse—amid broader financial uncertainty.
