Less commentary may reduce transparency and transfer more responsibility for price discovery back to investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout forward guidance from the Federal Reserve, investors have to rely more on hard data, which tends to amplify their responses to single economic data points as they come in,\u201d Liston said. \u201cThis lessens big picture thinking and can worsen economic volatility in the short run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry has already seen repricing, slowing construction and stabilizing property income, Severino noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA measured increase would likely slow the CRE capital markets\u2019 recovery at the margin,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;The broader CRE market recovery will likely continue because of reset values, limited new supply and improving income, (which) can still produce an attractive investment vintage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The odds vastly favor a rate hike.
