Tariffs, Trade Wars and Renewed Inflation Concerns (Oh My!)
GoDocs’ Monthly Marketing Minute digs into the trends impacting lending in 2025.
As we step into 2025, the economic landscape has already started to shift in unexpected ways. Tariffs, trade tensions, inflation, and even changes in the political climate are all playing a significant role in shaping our financial outlook. But with uncertainty comes opportunity, and in our latest episode of the GoDocs Monthly Market Minute, Ren R Hayhurst, VP of Strategy at GoDocs and Keith Mayer, VP of Product Management at GoDocs dive deep into how these macroeconomic surprises are influencing everything from interest rates to real estate markets.
Here’s what you can expect from the episode:
- The Federal Funds Rate and Uncertainty:
When we entered 2025, many economists were predicting multiple rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. But just two months in, that outlook has changed. Our experts explain why forecasts are now shifting toward only one potential rate cut this year, and what it means for investors as short-term rates hover around 4.25% to 4.5%.
- Rising Treasury Yields and Market Chaos:
With global uncertainty on the rise, we’ve already seen a significant spike in the 10-year Treasury yields. In the episode, we discuss why this surge is happening, how inflation and trade tensions are fueling volatility, and what this means for the broader economy.
- Real Estate Market Insights:
Despite all the economic chaos, some sectors of real estate are solid and growing. We break down which property types are in high demand and where there are opportunities for investors. Plus, we touch on the growing trend of green retrofitting in commercial properties, especially in regions hit by natural disasters.
- The $900B Question:
With nearly a trillion dollars in commercial loans maturing this year, refinancing and investment opportunities are on the horizon. Our guest shares what investors should watch for and how this could reshape the real estate landscape in 2025.
Whether you’re an experienced lender, investor or simply curious about the macroeconomic trends shaping the year, this podcast episode provides valuable insights into the financial markets. From inflation concerns to real estate opportunities, we cover it all with a clear, easy-to-understand breakdown of the latest developments.
