Brazil and South Africa are facing persistent inflation, while India and Indonesia may maintain lower rates. The OECD forecasts Saudi Arabia's GDP growth to rise to 3.8% in 2025, with stable inflation at 1.9%. Global growth is projected to slow due to trade tensions and policy uncertainty, with advanced economies particularly affected.
UBS anticipates that US tariffs will have a limited impact on the global economy, primarily causing temporary volatility. In its base case, it expects positive performance across equities, bonds, commodities, and gold, while cautioning that prolonged tariffs on Canada and Mexico could lead to recession in those countries. The bank assigns a 35% probability to a downside scenario with aggressive tariffs, which would negatively affect risky assets, and a 15% chance for an upside scenario that could boost equities.
UiPath (PATH) has seen a 15.85% drop in stock value since the start of 2025, following a downgrade by UBS, which cut its price target from $14 to $10 amid concerns over federal budget cuts impacting revenue.

With at least seven federal contracts, including significant agreements with the Department of Defense and Homeland Security, UiPath faces potential revenue challenges, especially as its GSA contract expires in August.
