▼ + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

"The Fed has never kept the target fed funds rate at peak levels for longer than nine months after a tightening cycle," Arone said. Nine months from now, at least based on history, the target fed funds rate is likely to be lower, not higher." He also sees lower rates ahead and pointed out the history of what happens with tight monetary policy. "The market is eager for lower rates or rate cuts. If the Fed has to rate cuts, it's likely because we're in recession or something in the capital markets is broken," he said.

After months of tight monetary policy, the Fed paused its interest-rate hiking cycle in June amid rising fears about the commercial real estate and banking sectors. A combination of higher interest rates, a credit squeeze, and remote work trends are squeezing the commercial real estate industry. Still, he remains optimistic: "When the Fed basically tells you they're done, I think real estate will catch a very firm bid."

Wall Street landlords raised $110 billion to buy homes but have had a quiet year. One large transaction, and one large listing, could signal that investors are ready to start buying. The single-family rental market, a popular playground of Wall Street landlords in 2020 and 2021, has been in a deep-freeze for the last year. Rising borrowing costs and a shakier housing market halted most transactions, leaving idle much of the $110 billion raised to buy homes. The company, which was valued at nearly $2 billion last year, says it has facilitated more than $5 billion in deals.

I have not been bombarded with as many warnings about how we are about to embark upon a wave of failures of all sorts — shadow banks, regional banks, commercial real estate lenders, real estate investment trusts — at any time since 2007. Let's take commercial real estate. I mention SL Green because it may be the most challenged of the REITs, real estate investment trusts, other than Vornado Realty Trust (VNO), a historically fine New York real estate concern, which just delayed its dividend.

☆ The spiraling banking crisis is leaving traders divided, Jim Cramer says

watch nowThe spiraling banking crisis has prompted concerns about liquidity, credit and defaults, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Tuesday, and is leaving traders split. That represents an opportunity to buy into economically sensitive stocks, Cramer argued, because it suggests the Fed is nearly done tightening rate hikes. DefensiveCramer said the second set, defensive traders, are wrong because just a few weeks ago the defensive pharma and packaged goods names were being "pummeled" because they were perceived as too defensive. "It's ridiculous," Cramer said, that those traders think the outlook is much improved. How about sizable layoffs and a big juicy earnings surprise, something that it seems incapable of delivering," Cramer said.

Starwood Capital CEO Barry Sternlicht said Tuesday that a severe economic downturn is inevitable. "I think we're going into a serious recession," Sternlicht said on CNBC's " Squawk Box ." However, Dimon said he believes that the U.S. might be able to skirt a recession. Sternlicht previously said he and his colleagues looked at six regional banks and studied their mark-to-market losses on assets. They know that this cannot last and we have the very low consumer confidence, very low savings rates, very low CEO confidence, and a series of layoffs coming through the service industries," Sternlicht said.

Work from home has in part jacked up food prices, and the increase is about 14% above just last year. The only bank that looks like Silicon Valley Bank is First Republic Bank (FRC) because it, too, has suffered huge deposit withdrawals. Nike (NKE)said China orders were good, so did Club stock Starbucks (SBUX). As counterintuitive as it is, the banking row will give the 4.8% fed funds rate a chance to cool consumer spending. This gives stocks a window to advance until we begin earnings season with what will no doubt be a cautious banking sector.

Starwood Capital CEO Barry Sternlicht said the U.S. is headed into a recession because the Federal Reserve has been hiking interest rates too aggressively. "The economy will have a hard landing," Sternlicht said on CNBC's " Squawk Box " Thursday. The Fed and other regulators took emergency actions to safeguard depositors at the failed banks, but concerns still linger about a run on deposits at some regional banks. Sternlicht said he and his colleagues looked at six regional banks over the weekend and studied their mark-to-market losses on assets. "They didn't even stress test these banks if rates rose, so they should have been the first ones to see what they were doing to the regional banks," Sternlicht said.

☆ Fed policymakers will see 'they blew it' with interest rate hikes, predicts Starwood Capital's Barry Sternlicht

In Starwood Capital CEO Barry Sternlicht's view, the Federal Reserve's ongoing interest rate hikes are driving the U.S. economy straight into a recession. During a session of CNBC's Financial Advisor Summit on Tuesday, Sternlicht said he thinks that an economic contraction will emerge next year and that Fed Chairman Jay Powell "will see that they blew it." "The economy is absolutely going into a recession, and it's absolutely definitive," Sternlicht told CNBC's Sara Eisen, who moderated the session. Right now, the 10-year Treasury bond is yielding roughly 3.6%, compared with the 2-year bond's yield of almost 4.4%. While inflation is a normal part of an economy, the current rate is far above the Federal Reserve's target of 2% over the long run.
