A former Fed insider says he'd be shocked if the central bank doesn't raise rate
Created
Thesis
A former Fed insider says he'd be shocked if the central bank doesn't raise rates next week, and rising rates normally make big corporate takeovers more expensive to finance. Yet KKR just closed a $2.1 billion acquisition loan on more favorable terms because investor demand was strong. If deal financing is this available even with a hike looming, the fee and deal engine at private-equity firms like KKR keeps running, and the stock is not priced for that resilience.
