Bloomberg Talks · Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett Talks Oil Price Pressure, US Jobs Report · 6 Mar 2026 podcast

We're tracking it very closely.

We're keeping an eye on things that are liquid, things that are illiquid, and so on.

And right now we see a very well-functioning market that's under a tiny little bit of stress.

But for the most part, outside of the one firm that had the significant issue, it looks like everybody's in good shape.

But we're following it very closely.

There are behaviors that make you concerned, like when you see a radical amount of shorting of assets of firms that are starting to feel some distress and so on.

And that's something that we really haven't seen since the financial crisis in 2008.

And we're seeing nothing like that kind of activity.

I think people have made some bets that didn't pay off, but that's kind of what happens in financial markets, right?

So whether it's dumb or not, ex ante, ex post it looks dumb.

No, I believe that there's so much security in that space that they can handle the stress that we're observing right now.
