Most institutions believe this is an industry recalibration rather than a crisis. (3) Concerns about the increased risks of artificial intelligence—AI may disrupt the software companies invested in by private lending, leading to a doubling of default rates; more alarmingly, insurance companies hold a large amount of private lending assets, and losses could erode retirement security, creating a risk transmission channel different from the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

The euro closed near 1.1510 against the dollar on Friday, having been under pressure throughout March as safe-haven demand continued to push up the dollar. Rabobank noted that the current market theme remains strong dollar demand, with investors favoring liquidity amid escalating Middle East geopolitical risks. 2.

Rabobank warned that if the Middle East crisis escalates further, the euro could fall sharply against the dollar again. "We are currently maintaining our 1-month exchange rate forecast at 1.14." 4. Looking at a longer timeframe, the bank expects the euro to gradually recover against the dollar as the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates later this year. The 6-month target is 1.17, and the 12-month target is close to 1.18. However, the bank also cautioned that the eurozone economy may be more severely impacted by energy shocks than the US economy.
