So, look, I mean, there's certainly been a lot of traffic. And I think the question everyone's focused on right now is the duration and what's happening in the oil markets.

"我们开始不断看到这类事件冒头，这绝对令人担忧，"Themis Trading的权益交易联席主管Joe Saluzzi 表示。他补充称，他现在已开始担心问题的严重程度。 周五，华尔街贷款机构因英国一家名不见经传的抵押贷款供应商——MFS的破产而遭受重创。此举加剧 了市场对银行面临更大损失的担忧，并再次引发了关于蓬勃发展的私募信贷行业中会出现更多"蟑螂"的 警告。 MFS的破产加速了周五美股市场上金融股和另类资产管理公司的全面抛售。由于担心行业内的贷款标 准问题，市场正在努力应对信用传染风险扩大的前景。 与去年爆雷的美国汽车贷款机构Tricolor Holdings类似，MFS也是一家非银行金融公司，旨在填补大型 银行忽略或避开的市场空白，同时向这些华尔街巨头拆借资金以开展业务。而其轰然倒塌的过程也几乎 与去年破产的汽车零部件供应商First Brands相似——银行原本对有形抵押品感到放心，结果却因"重复 质押"的指控动摇了这种信心。 甚至连一些涉事的华尔街机构的名字都如出一辙：桑坦德银行和杰富瑞金融集团如今再次陷入困境，正 竭力从这家陷入泥潭的公司中尽可能挽回资金——这两家银行近几个月都曾因First Br ...
