Blue Owl Caps Redemptions at 5% as Requests Hit 41%

•41% redemption requests in OTIC left investors recovering $1 for every $8 requested
•Hedge funds Saba and Cox are buying out trapped investors at 30 cents on the dollar

Iran War Chokes 20% of Global LNG Supply — And Oil Is the Least of It

The bond market is already pricing what equity desks are still denying: this isn't an oil shock, it's a supply architecture shock. Qatar's LNG facilities are physically destroyed — the Qatari energy minister just confirmed 17% of capacity offline for 3 to 5 years — and the last tankers that loaded before the Hormuz blockade are days away from delivering the final buffer the global gas market has left.
