Blue Owl’s Private Credit Withdrawal Clampdown Rattles Markets After $1.4B Loan Sale

Shares of Blue Owl Capital dropped roughly 4% in premarket action Friday, as the private credit firm halted quarterly withdrawals on a smaller retail debt fund and lined up $1.4 billion in loan sales to cover redemptions.

Investors are watching these numbers closely, looking for clues on just how long the Federal Reserve might hold rates up. Slower growth tends to bring those rate-cut bets forward.
