KBRA Releases Research – The Forward Look—U.S. Credit Insights Q2 2025

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases a new quarterly report highlighting our Chief Strategist Van Hesser’s view on key economic indicators, as well as what he identifies as the most influential factors driving credit markets in the upcoming quarter. The report also examines credit market valuations in the context of current and future market conditions.

KBRA expects key factors driving credit market conditions in Q2 to include reduced visibility due to policy uncertainty, loosening developments in what remains a healthy labor market, still solid underpinnings in the financial system, and concerns over the strength of consumer spending in the U.S. In addition, we expect risk premia in credit, low by historical standards, to build modestly.
