Trump is pushing ahead with a 30% blanket tariff on EU imports starting 1 August unless better offers are made, according to White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Europe isn\u2019t exactly staying quiet:<\/strong> EU leaders are pushing to avoid escalation, but they do plan to ramp up engagement with other US trading partners affected by the tariffs for potential coordination. Some \u2014 like France\u2019s Emmanuel Macron \u2014 are calling for the implementation of countermeasures, including the potential use of the anti-coercion instrument, the bloc\u2019s most powerful trade tool, though EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said there are no plans to use it at this point.

The ratings agency also sees UAE penciling in a budget surplus of 3.6% of GDP in 2025, and an average surplus of 4% of GDP during the 2026-2027 period.

This interest is fueled by family offices \u2014 controlling about USD 3.1 tn globally as of last year \u2014 which are drawn to private credit\u2019s regular banknote interest payments, a key advantage over private equity\u2019s reliance on future exits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Looking for higher returns:<\/strong> Offering attractive, high single-digit returns with less risk than equities, the illiquid asset class is a natural fit for the \u201cbuy-and-hold\u201d mentality of family offices, especially amid public market volatility. Alternative credit\u2019s ability to reliably generate yield and income is \u201cgreat in the current environment,\u201d Harinder Hundle of the Hundle multi-family office noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Private credit has strong growth potential: <\/strong>A late 2024 BNY Wealth survey showed private credit has not historically been a top allocation for family office. That seems to have changed in 2025, when a BlackRock family office survey revealed that a third of respondents plan to increase their exposure to private credit \u2014 the highest of any asset class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ALSO-<\/strong> US President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs are expected to drive a shift of corporate operations back to the US, creating a window for private credit to step in where capacity-constrained governments fall short, Moody\u2019s Global Head of Private Credit Marc Pinto told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-07-11\/trump-s-trade-war-is-good-for-private-credit-moody-s-says\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>.

Pinto echoed the sentiment, cautioning that agreement complexity and the need for more detailed information for buyers can introduce credit risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Asian markets are showing mixed performance this morning<\/strong>, with the Shanghai Composite is up 0.4%, while Japan\u2019s Nikkei is down 0.4%.
