KKR Releases 2025 Mid-Year Global Macro Outlook
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KKR, a leading global investment firm, today released its 2025 Mid-Year Global Macro Outlook by Henry McVey, CIO of KKR's Balance Sheet and Head of Global Macro and Asset Allocation (GMAA). In 'Make Your Own Luck,' McVey and his team explain why, despite the turbulent start to 2025 and additional expected market drawdowns, they remain positive in their outlook. They note their strong belief that attractive financial conditions, a global easing cycle, ongoing productivity gains, and lack of net issuance—coupled with compelling, powerful investment themes—will drive this cycle both further and longer than many think. And, while they acknowledge that the low rate, low volatility beta trade that defined 2015-2021 is now over, they advocate that investors stay the course by leveraging the team's long-standing Regime Change framework and investing behind priority macro trends. Against this backdrop, the team suggests investors 'make their own luck' by tilting towards assets that rely on collateral-based cash flows, can adjust to rising input costs, and/or enhance operational improvement—like control positions with operational upside in Private Equity, senior slices of Credit amid wide dispersions, or Real Assets with long-dated, inflation-linked contracts that can reprice alongside rising nominal GDP. The report also examines what has remained constant and what has shifted in the team's thinking since their 2025 Outlook published last December. Consistent with prior thinking, the team believes we continue to see a stellar technical backdrop, capital markets responding favorably to a global easing cycle, and sustained positive earnings momentum despite tariff-induced uncertainty. McVey and his team also share updated asset allocation picks and pans, refreshed expected return forecasts, and new model portfolios they believe are well-positioned to outperform in the continued Regime Change environment. They make several out-of-consensus calls, which include their beliefs that: The technical picture remains much better than investors think—net issuance of IPOs, levered loans, and high yield remain at levels not seen since 2009. We are in a productivity cycle similar to the 1990s, which will drive markets longer and higher than consensus. Lower taxes, higher margins, and higher quality earnings all suggest U.S. markets are reasonably valued vs. overvalued. Europe will perform better for longer, amid a stronger euro, more defense and infrastructure spending, continued interest in renewables, deeper capital markets, and less onerous cross-border restrictions. The oil market will move into larger surpluses over the next six to 12 months, driving WTI oil prices back down to $60 per barrel on average in the second half of 2025 and 2026. The unemployment rate will stay lower for longer relative to prior cycles, even against a modest payroll backdrop with gains increasingly concentrated in just a few sectors. Private Equity will remain a top-performing asset class as it continues to benefit from dispersion and control, allowing investors to lean into operational improvement and accretive M&A activity. There is increased opportunity for private investment in Infrastructure due to government retrenchment amid fiscal constraints, energy transition needs, and geopolitical competition. In addition, the report details the GMAA team's updated views on global economic forecasts, inflation, interest rates, currencies, and capital markets. The report also addresses key investor queries on topics such as how Europe can improve its competitive positioning, the team's outlook for expected returns, and their latest thinking on relative value in Credit and the potential direction of individual retirement accounts (401(k), annuities, etc.).

Delhi developer in remote role told to travel to Bengaluru meetings at own expense, post goes viral
A Reddit post by a techie from Delhi has gone viral after he shared his experience about a job. The developer, who has four years of experience, was offered a remote SDE1 frontend role by a startup based in Bengaluru. However, during the final HR round, the company shared some unexpected conditions. A full stack developer's post on Reddit went viral online.(Representational image generated using ChatGPT) The post was shared by @lordarthur77, in which he mentioned that although the role is remote, the company said he would need to visit Bengaluru every quarter for 7 to 10 days. These meetings would be at his own expense, with no travel or accommodation reimbursement. "Is this a common practice: Company asking for quarterly meetups in Bangalore on your own expenses? It's a remote setup though," the caption of the post reads. He further mentions that the company is following BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). 'I have to buy my own laptop, and also asking to install security patches to protect the data as well.' Check out the viral post here: The post was shared on July 10, 2025, since then, it has garnered more than 200 likes and several comments. Here' s how people reacted to this post: Many Reddit users expressed surprise and concern over the company's conditions. Some felt it was unreasonable to expect a remote worker to travel to another city without any reimbursement. Others pointed out that BYOD policies are common, but companies should offer support or compensation. One of the user, @BigDocument2946, commented, 'Scam definitely avoid it. Once you install that software there is no privacy , it's exploitation.' A second user, @Longjumping-Green351, commented, 'Mine is remote too but quarterly visit is expected in the office and no reimbursement for it.' Another user, @Vegetable-Mall-4213, commented, 'At least partial reimbursement should be there.' Several users shared similar experiences and advised the developer to clarify all terms in writing before accepting the job offer.

Of stars and stripes: US Embassy celebrates 249th anniversary of American independence in New Delhi
A festive spirit filled the air as the US Embassy in New Delhi marked the 249th anniversary of American independence on Thursday. Guests arrived dressed in hues of red, white, and blues, creating a visual homage to the American flag. Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas of India and US Chargé d'Affaires, Jorgan K Andrews(Photo: Manoj Verma/HT) US Chargé d'Affaires, Jorgan K Andrews, who is celebrating his first Fourth of July in India, shared his excitement and said, 'For Americans, the Fourth of July is very much a summertime holiday. A holiday of unity, great food, music, and a chance to connect socially but it's also a moment that reminds us of our country's values.' He also added, 'I'm very excited to be able to celebrate here in the world's largest democracy, as we mark the birthday of the world's oldest democracy. For Americans, the Fourth of July is very much a summertime holiday. It's an outdoor celebration — picnics, barbecues, family, community, friends — really a celebration of togetherness.' Chief guest of the evening, Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas of India, said, 'We stand here today commemorating the birth of a nation whose spirit of freedom, democracy, and innovation has inspired generations across the world.' The culinary spread paid tribute to classic American delights like jambalaya rice, mac and cheese to apple pies. Adding a fun, viral twist was the popular BYOC (Bring Your Own Chip) station, where attendees customised chip bags with an array of toppings and sauces — a social media food trend brought to life. The celebration also featured interactive games like life-size Jenga and cornhole, keeping guests entertained in true backyard barbecue fashion. A filmi tribute to friendship The US Chargé d'Affaires shares the song that describes India-US friendship: 'I'd choose Jai Ho (Slumdog Millionaire, 2008) because it's dynamic, exciting, and filled with enthusiasm and joy.' Adding the American songs he would choose, Andrews says, 'I'd pick two iconic classics. First, Born in the USA (1984) by Bruce Springsteen — it has that energy and exuberance, and it captures a celebratory mood while also acknowledging that life can be tough. The second would have to be Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner (1967) because Jimi taught us that we can all celebrate the Fourth of July in our own unique way, and still be one nation.'
