KBRA Releases Research – The Forward Look—European and UK Credit Views: Q3 2025

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases the latest quarterly report highlighting our European Macro Strategist Gordon Kerr’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 Q3 to include credit tailwinds starting to show green shoots in Europe, and a supportive market environment for European credits, both public and private as US dollar diversification continues. However, uncertainty remains the largest counter to Europe’s prospects. Budgetary challenges, US tariffs, and elevated distress among some sectors could provide some volatility in the quarter ahead.
