Strange Days

Optimism ruled the days following the surprise November election results. The Dow went on a 3,000-point tear on speculation that the tax code would be recast as more business friendly, the health care law would be enacted and infrastructure projects would start popping up from coast to coast. While none of that is even close to becoming reality, the equities markets continue at record levels, despite the fact that GDP growth remains anemic.

Despite sluggish economic activity, the Fed has hiked its benchmark Fed Funds rate twice this year, once in March and again in June. The Fed’s Board of Governors is taking advantage of market optimism to work its way out of the corner it painted itself into over recent years. With the Fed Funds rate now above 1%, central bankers can lower rates in the event of an economic reversal without going into negative territory like its European and Japanese counterparts have done.

After spiking to 2.6% in March, the yield on the 10-Year T-bill, the metric used to set commercial property mortgage rates, has stabilized in the 2.2% range. Normally, Fed rate hikes push the yield on the 10-Year higher. But, investor uncertainty has increased demand for Treasuries, sending yields lower instead. That has the bulls and the bears in all asset classes scratching their heads, wondering if the rules have somehow changed.

So, at what point Fed rate hikes push cap rates higher is anybody’s guess, but we do see cap rate decompression for less-than-prime product. The demand for top quality industrial product remains strong and well ahead of supply. Rents continue to increase in industrial product, but the rate of increase is leveling off.
