The Polar Pivot
Ahead of the Fed meeting, U.S. equity markets declined modestly this week as investors navigated a fresh bout of global rate volatility amid headline churn out of Davos and Japan. Markets drew relief from de-escalation in the Greenland saga, as the White House backed away from military and tariff threats after agreeing to a NATO framework enabling expanded U.S. influence. Speculation ramped up around the next Fed Chair, with BlackRock's Rick Rieder suddenly viewed as the betting favorite, a candidate that markets view as a pragmatic and more centrist alternative.

Powell Under Pressure
U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance this past week as investors weighed a resilient slate of economic data against renewed tensions between the White House and the Fed. Investor reaction was surprisingly muted to news that the DOJ opened an investigation into Fed Chair Powell, but markets did reflect increased odds that the FOMC opts to dig in its heels. Encouragingly, benign consumer inflation data kept the broader disinflation narrative intact, while signs of a recovery in the long-sluggish housing sector suggested that affordability dynamics are finally improving.

REITs: A Long, Difficult Decade
U.S. equity markets stumbled to close out the year, while long-term interest rates swelled toward four-month highs, as investors digested resilient economic data and locked in gains from 2025 leaders. The tranquil holiday season was jolted by dramatic geopolitical developments over the weekend, after a U.S. military operation captured and extradited Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro. The stunningly bold strike furthered an ongoing hemispheric realignment, and at minimum, shifted control of the world's largest known oil reserves away from China and Russia toward the United States.

A Golden Holiday Rally
U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record highs in the Christmas-shortened trading week, buoyed by surprisingly solid GDP data, positive holiday spending trends, and a pullback in global interest rates. The delayed GDP report released this week showed a modest reacceleration in U.S. economic growth in the third-quarter to the strongest pace in two years alongside a cooler-than-expected inflation reading. Precious metals stole the show. Gold, silver, and platinum extended a historic rally fueled by a combination of easing rates, central-bank buying, end-market demand, and investor appetite for hard assets.

The Ghost Of Inflation Past
U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance as surprisingly cool inflation data and soft employment data were tempered by a hawkish pushback from Fed officials and skeptics clinging to inflation fears. The critical CPI report showed inflation easing to four-year lows, a heavily criticized report that may, ironically, be the most accurate inflation reading in several years due to collection limitations. The report "zeroed out" shelter inflation due to incomplete collection, combined with an antiquated and lagged sampling methodology, effectively "correcting" its data by removing the most persistent source of distortion.

Everyone Hates REITs - A Contrarian Opportunity
REITs endured a brutal three-plus-year stretch since March 2022, underperforming the S&P 500 by an unprecedented 70 percentage points, far worse than the Global Financial Crisis. Extreme underperformance has left REITs historically cheap despite solid property-level fundamentals, but this valuation discount carries a cost: elevated capital costs, suppressed transaction activity, and limited external growth opportunities. Depressed public-market valuations have triggered a pronounced “REIT exodus,” with 40 REITs acquired, liquidated, or seeking sales since 2022, while new REIT formation has collapsed to a fraction of norms.

A Cut Without Conviction
U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance after an unusually divided Federal Reserve delivered a third-straight rate cut, but signaled a likely "pause" in the easing cycle. Perhaps the last rate cut under the "Powell Fed," the FOMC voted 9-3 to lower the federal funds rate to 3.75%, with two votes to keep rates unchanged. Markets saw hawkish undertones in the updated Economic Projections and commentary from Chair Powell, which emphasized lingering uncertainty around the inflation outlook and lack of conviction in softening labor markets.

The Cut Countdown
U.S. equity markets climbed to the cusp of fresh record-highs as another soft slate of employment data and modest PCE inflation data helped solidify the case for another rate cut. ADP provided the most evident signs of cooling labor markets, posting job losses in three of the past six months and a cooldown in wage growth to four-year lows. The PCE report showed corresponding disinflation in discretionary services categories, offsetting modest upward pressures on goods prices, resulting in the first monthly deceleration in core inflation since April.

Doves Take The Wheel
U.S. equity markets staged a broad rally in the holiday-shortened week, while benchmark interest rates dipped to the cusp of multi-year lows, as investors leaned into December rate cut expectations. Reports that Kevin Hassett- a close Trump ally- has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Fed Chair Powell in 2026 further sharpened expectations for a more explicitly dovish policy approach. The "Hasset trade" revived appetite for long-duration and rate-sensitive equity sectors, as investors priced in a lower terminal-rate environment and a steeper path of 2026 policy accommodation.
