Apollo economist warns AI agents could trigger massive bank runs. The warning comes as there is a significant imbalance between the yields of fintech companies and those paid by FDIC-insured banks, which could cause massive withdrawals from the latter as agents reallocate their users' savings to accrue higher benefits. Key takeaways. * Apollo's top economist warned AI agents could sweep cash to high-yield accounts, draining cheap deposits. * Deposit flight fears linked to automated yields echo concerns that led to the demise of the CLARITY Act. * Analysts warn uniform AI agent behavior could trigger faster, more violent bank runs during crises. An agentic bank run might be brewing, says Apollo Chief Economist. The introduction of agentic technology to automate economic activity tasks might carry unprecedented risks to the financial system, as agents will have the freedom to allocate funds wherever they find better results. Torsten Slock, former International Monetary Fund (IMF) employee and partner and Chief Economist at Apollo Global Management, a firm that holds over a trillion dollars in assets under management (AUM), warned about a possible bank run if agents like Meta's Muse, which can operate autonomously without user input, rise in popularity. In a short article, Slock stressed that the widespread adoption of these agentic assistants "could soon sweep household cash automatically into accounts paying 3.3% to 5.0%, instead of the 0.1% national average on checking accounts." Indeed, the rise of institutions like Revolut and others in the U.S., which offer higher yields, might prompt agentic assistants to move funds to these new banks, making traditional savings accounts obsolete. "If every household used AI agents to optimize the return on their cash balances, banks could lose a large share of the cheap deposits they rely on to make loans, which would be a problem for the entire financial system," Slock concluded. While he doesn't mention stablecoins explicitly, Slock's argument resonates with what community banks have said might happen if financial institutions are allowed to offer yields on crypto deposits, and was ultimately one of the arguments that led to the CLARITY Act's demise in the Senate. Nonetheless, the agentic bank run thesis faced criticism, as some pointed out it would not cause a total bank run, but the end of cheap funding and of return on equity for banks that fail to adapt to the new reality. "Business models built on friction and human laziness will (rightly!) get slaughtered in the coming years," said Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly. Nonetheless, he also stressed that in situations like the one faced by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in 2023, agents will accelerate bank fallouts, as they have "much lower diversity of behavior than humans." He concluded that "cascading agentic bank runs will likely be more violent and sudden than human ones." Yesterday Greed Last Week Greed Last Month Greed How do you feel about the market today?
IMF highlights AI opportunities and risks for economies. AI could boost productivity and investment but also disrupt jobs and increase financial risks. IMF/AICEP 29/09/2026 Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping investment, productivity and labour markets, creating significant opportunities for businesses and economies while also presenting new risks, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Annual Report 2026. Technology investment related to AI contributed an estimated 0.5 percentage point to US GDP growth in 2025, while productivity growth in the United States has accelerated in recent years, partly reflecting the early effects of AI adoption. Private-sector investment in AI could exceed $2 trillion globally in 2026, according to external estimates cited by the IMF. The adoption of AI is expanding across sectors, with potential productivity gains spanning a broad range of industries and occupations. The IMF highlights Asia's growing role in the AI economy, supported by digital infrastructure, education, regulation and established strengths in semiconductor manufacturing, design and advanced manufacturing. However, the IMF also points to significant challenges for labour markets. Workers with AI-related skills tend to earn more, while middle-skilled workers whose jobs are highly exposed to automation may face greater disruption. The impact is therefore likely to differ substantially across occupations, regions and income groups. Businesses also face financial risks as investment in AI infrastructure increases. The IMF warns that if the returns from large, increasingly debt-financed investments fail to meet expectations, a sharp correction in equity valuations could result, potentially causing wealth losses and job cuts. Risks may also arise from links within the AI ecosystem, including between companies developing data centres and semiconductor manufacturers. The IMF highlights the potential for financial problems at one company to spread to others where firms have close financing, investment or customer relationships. To help countries navigate these developments, the IMF has developed indexes covering AI preparedness, skills readiness and skills imbalances. These tools assess areas including workforce training, digital infrastructure, venture capital and regulation. The IMF is also examining AI's wider macroeconomic implications, including its effects on productivity and growth, employment and skills, inequality, financial markets, energy and climate, as well as the implications for economic policy. The report stresses the need for policymakers to capture the benefits of AI while preparing workers and economies for disruption and monitoring the financial and fiscal risks associated with a potential slowdown in AI investment.
Isabel Schnabel will take over as director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department at the IMF starting in January 2027. The International Monetary Fund announced on Thursday that Isabel Schnabel, Germany's representative on the European Central Bank's Executive Board, will take over as financial counselor and director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department (MCM), starting January 4, 2027, Reuters reports, according to Agerpres. AGERPRES - Thu, Sept. 24, 2026, 21:22 Separately, the European Central Bank announced that Schnabel will resign at the beginning of 2027 to join the IMF. After six years on the ECB's Executive Board, Isabel Schnabel, 55, will leave her post a year earlier than planned to join the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as "financial counselor and director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department," starting January 4, the ECB said in a press release, cited by AFP. This resignation paves the way for a reshuffle of the leadership of the Frankfurt-based financial institution next year. ECB president Christine Lagarde is also expected to resign before the end of her term, in October 2027. Speculation about a possible early departure of Lagarde from the ECB to head the World Economic Forum was rekindled by the announcement of the publication of her autobiography in January. "Isabel played a key role in the ECB's decision to stabilize inflation at the medium-term target of 2% and made a huge contribution to modernizing the ECB's operations to meet the challenges of the 21st century," the ECB president said in a statement. Within the ECB Governing Council, Isabel Schnabel was among the so-called "hawks," supporters of a restrictive monetary policy. The German woman was one of the first voices to advocate for raising interest rates in June, in response to inflation linked to the war in the Middle East. Schnabel's successor at the ECB will be appointed by the European Council, which brings together the heads of state or government of the 27 EU member states.
Treasury yields hit highest level since 2007 as IMF warns on interest costs. * By Brett Rowland | The Center Square * Sep 23, 2026 Updated 2 hrs ago (The Center Square) - The federal government has spent more on net interest than on Medicare or the military so far this fiscal year, and borrowing costs climbed again Wednesday as Treasury yields hit their highest levels in nearly two decades. Net interest on the federal debt reached $1.05 trillion in the first 11 months of fiscal 2026, up 12% from a year earlier, according to the Congressional Budget Office's monthly budget review. Medicare spending totaled $976 billion, and Defense Department military spending totaled $833 billion. The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 5.11%, its highest level since 2007, up from 4.96% on Tuesday, according to Treasury Department data. The 30-year yield closed at 5.40%, also its highest in nearly two decades. The same day, the International Monetary Fund released its 2026 Annual Report, which said government interest payments worldwide have risen by almost half in three years, to nearly 3% of gross domestic product. For deficit countries "such as the US, credible fiscal consolidation could reduce demand for imports and external financing," the report said. In its February review of the U.S. economy, the IMF called for "a clear, frontloaded fiscal consolidation plan" to put U.S. debt on a downward trajectory. Short-term bills made up 22.8% of marketable debt in August, up from 21.7% a year earlier, as bills outstanding grew by $879 billion to $7.25 trillion, according to Treasury data. The CBO said declines in short-term rates partially offset the rise in interest costs this year. Before taking office, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized predecessor Janet Yellen for relying on short-term borrowing. Treasury did not respond to a question about that criticism. The IMF said the two largest stablecoin issuers now hold more Treasury bills than Saudi Arabia. Tether and Circle held $123.5 billion in bills as of June 30, compared with Saudi Arabia's $34 billion, according to company reports and Treasury data. The IMF warned that "large redemptions could pose a risk to markets for the government bonds held by stablecoin issuers." "The IMF is right to be warning the United States that it is on an unsustainable public debt path that could end in tears," Desmond Lachman, a former IMF official now at the American Enterprise Institute, told The Center Square. "Sadly, the IMF's advice seems to be falling on deaf ears." The Treasury Department did not respond by publication to questions about the rise in yields. The IMF did not respond to questions about the report.
