Goldman Sachs now thinks the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates four times in 2022 as it grapples with red-hot inflation, having previously penciled in only three rate rises.
The Wall Street giant said in a Monday note it believes the Fed will start selling some of its assets as early as July. The central bank currently holds almost $9 trillion worth of bonds, mainly government ones.- Goldman Sachs said it now expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates four times in 2022.
- The Wall Street giant also predicts the Fed will start reducing its balance sheet in July or even earlier.
- Goldman`s analysts said the labor market is strong and wages are rising, adding to pressure on inflation.
RSK: I guess we all saw this coming, especially with all the Fed spending and inflation....the key is how much and how fast.
Reading through Bisnow’s top 20 most-clicked stories of 2021 is a bit of a journey through the anxieties of commercial real estate. The struggles of malls, return-to-office conundrums, construction costs and what a Biden presidency might do to beloved CRE programs dominated this year’s list — and remain issues that look to loom large again in 2022.
But some say you must face your pain to overcome it, so grab a drink and take a trip through the stories that resonated most with readers this year.

From the office sector`s repeated setbacks to unprecedented demand for industrial space to climate change`s adverse impact on commercial real estate investments, here are some of the most important stories of 2021.
This was supposed to be the year the pandemic ended. The rapid development and distribution of several highly effective vaccines was supposed to bring with it a return to normalcy. Instead, new variants—enabled in part by vaccine hesitance and failure to equitably distribute vaccines globally—brought new waves of cases and deaths and created repeated setbacks. The year ends in the U.S., almost incomprehensibly, with new records in seven-day averages in confirmed cases. And it’s unclear how long the Omicron surge will last both domestically and globally (although indications from nations that were hit first suggest it may, thankfully, be a short wave)...

RSK: More "Best of 2021"
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is now, according to several accounts, the fastest spreading virus in history with over one million cases reported yesterday in the U.S.News of the virus’s progress is creating a new wave of disruption in retail operations as workers, already in short supply in many businesses, are forced to stay home after testing positive. Consumers, themselves hit with the variant or seeking to avoid getting it, are turning to online ordering for delivery or curbside pickup in greater numbers...
RSK: The comments at the end are really the heart of the matter. Fun to read them.
The Gialamas Company`s premier development. The park has over 57 buildings containing 200+ companies, occupying over 3.0 million square feet.
(CNN)A record-setting 10.7 million 20-foot containers passed through the Port of Los Angeles in 2021, up 13% from the previous record set in 2018.
And that pace is set to continue, according to Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles. "I don`t see us falling off a cliff," Seroka said. "I don`t see the American consumer changing their buying habits."
"We`re running now about 17-18 ships a day that are working in port. That`s 70-80% higher productivity than we ever had before Covid-19," Seroka said...

RSK: Good article on why it is still a bit back logged. Also, if they slow the rate that ships can anchor off port and keep them at sea longer, the perceived back-log doesn`t look so bad...but it is still there...turning a blind eye to the problem I guess, or just slow the bleeding even though you cannot stop it.

Total CRE debt from commercial banks grew by $116 billion as of Dec. 1, 2021, compared with 2020, when the market was largely stalled during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to numbers from data analytics firm Cred iQ.

RSK: Commercial real estate is still a good investment. Inflation hedge or not, the returns are over and above most other semi-safe investments.
Despite home prices that have continued to skyrocket and interest rates creeping up, owning a median-priced house remains more affordable than renting in a slim majority of U.S. counties, according to a new report from ATTOM Data Solutions—though in most large metros renting is cheaper.
In 58% of counties, the monthly cost of owning a home takes up a smaller percentage of an individual’s wages compared to monthly rental costs, the report found. At the same time, in 21 out of the 25 most populous counties, renting was the more affordable option.
“Home prices are rising faster than both rents and wages while wages rise faster than rents. And the housing market boom of the past decade keeps pushing home values to new records,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM, in a statement...
RSK: Yes, rents and home ownership ,is less outside major cities and more rural counties but, those prices have risen proportionately as well.
Hy-Vee last week announced the introduction of an in-house armed security team to manage theft and in-store disturbances.The Midwest grocery chain said in a statement that it has long worked with third-party contractors or off-duty law enforcement that work in a security capacity. The goal of bringing it in-house is “to create a consistent look for the security team and consistent approach to customer service and security across all [its] stores.”
The move is also meant to address the rise in retail crime...

Many business owners in a wide range of industries have struggled to find and retain staff amid a nationwide labor shortage.
In November, a record 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs. In many cases, people have cited poor working conditions and low pay as factors.
In an attempt to secure workers, businesses have been hiking wages, offering hiring bonuses, and providing education benefits to attract more staff.

- Trainual is a software company that takes an unusual approach to staff retention.
- The CEO told Insider that paying new hires to leave helped maintain a strong company culture.
- "It`s a powerful thing for them to turn down the cash, opt in, and commit," he said.
RSK: Like the article states...the people he offered this to were making $80,000+ per year so I guess it depends on the level of pay to see if it works. Or, you might be able to offer less if their annual pay is less. Something to think about.
A Midwestern staple and a key component of poutine, cheese curds are a squeaky treat when served on their own, but they’re also often battered and fried.As a standalone appetizer, fried cheese curds are often served with ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping, and they may incorporate garlic, jalapeño or other flavors.
As part of poutine, cheese curds top French fries doused in a tangy gravy. These days that dish is often augmented with spicy toppings, breakfast foods such as eggs, or assorted Asian or Latin flavors....

It was a bizarre year for restaurants where bankruptcies are concerned, with very few filing and none after early June, perhaps partially due to courts being closed and short-staffed throughout the pandemic.Still, there was a lot of interesting news in the restaurant finance world. Many chains that filed bankruptcy in 2020 restructured and emerged in early 2021, including Punch Bowl Social and Ruby Tuesday. The brand now known as Beatnic, formerly By Chloe, at long last resolved ongoing legal disputes, emerged from bankruptcy and fully rebranded throughout the year...

While employers have made great strides in offering worker protections against the dangers of COVID since March of 2020, some grocery employees say the rapid spread of the Omicron strain is shaping up to be the same kind of mess they’ve seen before.Grocer staff in California told the Los Angeles Times that the emergence of the Omicron variant has not prompted employers to provide better or more protections for store workers. Staff shared anecdotes of abusive customers, the lack of new specific guidance for addressing the new variant and the failure of stores to provide updated instructions on how to handle infected fellow associates...

RSK: Nothing here other than the Omicron variant is faster spreading but less severe...especially if you have been vaccinated and had a booster and no major underlying health concerns. I still say, if you are fully vaxed and no underlying health conditions get back to the office. If you are worried wear a mask, which helps a little. Others can stay home and WFH if possible.

Investing in real estate can be one of the most effective ways to build wealth.
But
it can also be a difficult thing to get started in, with
often-prohibitive down payments and marketplace competition driving up
prices to unattainable heights. The process can also be intimidating to
first-time investors financially, legally, and in terms of time
commitment.
- Investing in real estate can seem daunting
. - We`ve compiled a list of our stories with expert advice for having success in the space.
- Tips range from financing strategies to how to overcome being intimidated.
RSK: A few things stick out in this article. First, with institutional investors getting into the single family buy to rent or flip, it has become a tough market. Secondly, why not go for some commercial property instead? Less headache in managing it and you can always put together an LLC or Partnership. Just a thought.
Flexible office operators WeWork and Launch Workplaces said they experienced strong growth last year as the hybrid work shift led office tenants to seek more flexible options. Experts believe that demand will continue to surge in 2022, and they see traditional office landlords adopting some of the amenities and other offerings that have made coworking spaces popular. Mike Kriel, CEO of Maryland-based Launch Workplaces, said he`s seeing interest from plenty of first-time tenants, in addition to building owners looking to emulate the amenities and flexibility of coworking space...

Starbucks is readying its workforce to comply with the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test Covid requirements for private businesses.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is mandating that private companies with at least 100 employees enforce weekly Covid testing and masking for unvaccinated workers as part of a broader plan to encourage vaccinations and slow viral spread. The mandate has faced court challenges from Republican-led states and business groups, and the Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments on the matter Friday.

You’re probably familiar with the headlines that suggest that the pandemic forced mass migration out of crowded cities. However, recent U.S. Census Bureau data indicates a contrary trend.Data released on Nov. 17 found that roughly 27.1 million Americans reported living in a different residence than a year earlier—down from 29.8 million in 2020. The findings marked the lowest rate of movement that the bureau recorded in 70 years—an 8.4% mover rate.

The spread of the highly infectious omicron variant is likely to fuel more inflation, as Americans keep shopping instead of spending more outside of the home, according to the National Retail Federation’s chief economist, Jack Kleinhenz.
The major retail trade group’s advisor said Wednesday in a news release, however, that he does not expect the latest wave of Covid cases to prompt an economic slowdown or a shutdown of businesses.
The major retail trade group’s advisor said Wednesday in a news release, however, that he does not expect the latest wave of Covid cases to prompt an economic slowdown or a shutdown of businesses.
- Omicron
could inspire more people to buy goods rather than services, which
would compound inflation as demand remains high and supply chain
challenges continue, National Retail Federation’s chief economist, Jack
Kleinhenz, said.
- The latest Covid wave is unlikely to prompt an
economic slowdown or a shutdown of businesses, however, the advisor to
the retail trade group said.
- Some restaurants and retailers have had to shutter locations or reduce hours as they cope with short staffing due to Covid or step up sanitizing in coronavirus hotspots.
