We desperately  need hope to get out of this stock market/REIT dysfunction. Sadly we may need to see more downside before the market prices in rate CUTS 

[Mephistopheles3]

It's way too soon to be talking about rate cuts.  To be honest, the prior rate environment of 0-2% was not healthy and is just not good for our country long term (i.e.  housing crisis).  A long-term neutral rate of 3% or so is probably the best thing for our economy and our economy is strong enough that we don't need huge amounts of stimulus. The Fed before was just saying

[SNAKEYBOY]

I agree that they kept 0% too long, but you have to blame politicians for keeping lockdown policy for 2 years almost.   You know the covid variants will be back and new viruses (monkeypox) so realistically we can see somemore downward pressure of yields. Remember the 10 year treasury calls the shots not the FED

[Frankie10]

You don't get it. Your focused on the consumer percepctive and missing the larger point - the system is failing. Government debt is more than 100% of GDP. Government debt needs to roll. Overnight rate at or above 3% would essentially cause central banks to default or hyper inflate. Only option is yield curve control. Any other option you are presented with is a fairytale. Further confirmation

Frankie you been around the block have you? Recall all those debt ceiling debates and hikes.  Shutdown govenrment.  You know theyll keep printing theyll keep  borrowing, it's what makes the world go round.  Inflation will calm eventually, a few hikes, will take it down a bit, the market will beat you everytime.  What do you know, REIT sector is already 5%+ off it's
