Interest rates

Despite global macro turmoil, lenders are not expecting to see a decline in transaction activity.

The potential impact of the developing crisis was the key topic of discussion in Cannes.

The CEO and CIO of PIMCO Prime Real Estate tells REC Europe why he believes property credit will remain relevant to investors for years to come.

"The likelihood of significantly lower mortgage rates this year has decreased as rate cuts by the Fed are less likely,” says orthmarq Capital's Ernie DesRocher.

Managers and market participants are still expecting one or two more reductions following comments from Federal Chair Jerome Powell this week.

Private credit managers at CREFC’s annual Miami conference expect one to two more rate cuts this year, though the potential end of Jerome Powell’s tenure adds volatility.

The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates three times in 2025, but the market would benefit more from a meaningful decline in 10-year Treasury yields in the coming year.

Plenty of competition and lots of liquidity are among the findings of CREFC Europe's latest sentiment survey.

The move is expected to have a positive impact on liquidity in the commercial real estate market.

The Federal Reserve’s move to cut interest rates by 25 basis points will help accelerate transaction volume through year-end, lenders believe.
