Total disclosed deal volume surged by nearly 40% month-over-month, with deals between $10 million and $100 million driving the majority, contributing approximately 54% to the total. However, dry powder saw a modest decline of 4.5%, suggesting a slight reduction in available capital for new investments. Additionally, total closed deals dropped by 19% compared to the previous month, pointing to a potential slowdown in finalizing transactions.
