U.S. equity markets tumbled in a sudden jolt of volatility as investors - already flying blind on key data - reacted to a surprise, massive tariff announcement on Chinese imports. The White House announced a 100% added tariff on all Chinese imports beginning next month - up from 30% currently - as retaliation to new export controls on rare minerals. The CBOE Volatility Index surged to the highest levels since mid-May in a sudden onset of angst following several months of relatively tranquil market conditions.

Three years of persistent rate-driven pressure on the residential and commercial real estate market appears to finally be abating - and not a moment too soon. REITs were hit by a "triple whammy" of rate-related headwinds: higher borrowing costs directly squeezed profitability, eroded the relative appeal of REIT dividends, and made it near-impossible to grow accretively. Since the Fed's initial rate hike in March 2022, REITs have lagged the S&P 500 by a whopping 55 percentage points, nearly 3x the magnitude of underperformance seen in the GFC.

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record highs this past week after relatively benign inflation data and weak employment data cleared the path for the Fed to resume rate cuts. While CPI and PPI readings continued to show a modest reacceleration in price pressures from their post-pandemic lows earlier this year, both remained "cool enough" to permit a policy pivot. The Fed is widely expected to cut reference rates by 25 basis points to a 4.25% upper bound, which follows a nine-month "pause" since the last reduction last December.

U.S. equity markets were little-changed this past week as a tranquil end-of-summer week with status-quo inflation and economic indicators concluded with a jolting post-close tariff headline with highly uncertain implications. An appeals court ruled that the White House exceeded its authority under the Emergency Powers Act - the mechanism used for broad “reciprocal” tariffs - setting up a final Supreme Court showdown. The fresh injection of tariff uncertainty precedes a critical stretch of employment and inflation data and a mid-September Federal Reserve meeting that is increasingly likely to be highly contentious.
