A round of mixed economic data took a back seat to the investor focus on the Federal Reserve meeting. With the expected no change on interest rates, the focus was on Chairman Powell’s outlook, inflation forecasts – (yes, he said transitory again), and how the stock market corrections are shaping investor sentiment. The team also unpacks new data about the impact of tariffs, especially on consumer confidence and housing. In the commercial real estate sector, it's a dive into the good, bad, and ugly covering major office lease renewals, office-to-residential conversions, and even federal land development proposals. But with all the recent market madness, CRE investors seem to stay the course with February’s CRE big deals and new development projects in the LightBox Data Dive, highlighting the CRE market’s liquidity. Listen to the end to hear the team’s own March Madness picks!
