But the data so far does not show a loss in economic growth, let alone a sharp descent. Economic patterns have been abnormal for the past two years but are slowly reverting to pre-pandemic form. Countries and sectors are normalizing at different rates, creating market turbulence and contradicting economic forecasts. We expect a significant moderation in inflation over the next 18 months as financial conditions tighten and economic growth slows in the world's largest economies. However, a mild recession is certainly not out of the question. U.S. GDP is projected to increase by 1% quarter-over-quarter (seasonally adjusted annualized rate) in Q2 2022 and 2.2% year-over-year. The economy is projected to gain 1.1 million jobs in Q2 2022, according to the nonfarm payroll measurement from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, bringing the unemployment rate down to 3.6% as of June 2022. Consumer spending is supporting growth in the developed world, with many countries still benefiting from pandemic-era pent-up demand and excess savings. Jobs have returned quickly, and wages are rising about as fast as prices. Yet consumers have never reported feeling more pessimistic. Sentiment surveys register lower readings today than even amid the 2008 financial crisis. At the same time, however, consumer spending growth is keeping pace with inflation. Rising net worth and job security will be far more significant predictors of consumer behavior than general sentiment. Geopolitical strife, such as the continuing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, has contributed to persistent energy and food cost increases. This affects every consumer, but higher- income households and wealthier countries are relatively insulated from the direct consequences. Some emerging markets may soon be susceptible to acute food shortages and even social unrest unless supplies replenish and price increases relent. But the U.S. will have a narrower base of consumption growth this year as fewer households meaningfully increase their real spending. Every economic data point is being refracted through the prism of how central banks will respond to higher inflation. This puts the labor market — a leading inflation indicator because wages play a significant role in determining prices — at the center of our attention for the balance of 2022. News of job or pay freezes sounds negative, but they are necessary to slow the rapid pace of aggregate demand growth, rebalance the economy and allow policymakers to take their feet off the brakes. While a lot more central bank rate hikes lie ahead, a modest softening in employment data can help ensure that central banks don't wholly halt economic expansion. Last month, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) met in a particularly chaotic period for financial markets and delivered a 75 basis point (bps) interest rate hike. The federal funds rate target range now stands at 1.50% - 1.75%, and it seems certain to travel higher at the next meeting. Inflation has not moderated as much as the Fed or the market expected it to over the year's first five months. This is mainly because the ongoing war in Ukraine has increased the prices of goods and services sensitive to food and energy costs, such as gasoline and core services like airfares. The Fed and the market recognize that tighter financial conditions are required to dissuade employers from hiring and raising wages, effectively short-circuiting any budding wage-price spiral. Therefore, data showing falling job openings and softening wage growth are welcome. We expect the data between now and the end of the summer – on job openings, wage growth, and other measures of price inflation – to help bring those rate expectations down a bit further. Real Estate Market Conditions and Outlook Real estate has produced strong returns over the last few years but has only priced in the effects of higher inflation and monetary policy tightening to a limited extent. Commercial real estate (“CRE”) investments have been relatively insulated from recent market volatility over the past two quarters, but CRE appreciation may be negative in the short term and have values correct due to upward pressure on cap rates. However, some properties in strongly performing sectors, such as the housing, industrial, and storage sectors, will continue to benefit from high-income growth as rolling leases are marked-up to account for higher rents. The retail and office sectors have continued to underperform due to changes in structural demand initially caused by the pandemic, and contractionary economic drivers, such as decreases in office- using employment and consumer spending. Values in cyclical sectors, such as lodging and gaming, and sectors with the strongest appreciation over the last year, such as industrial, self-storage, and life science, may correct in the short term due to cap rate expansion. However, properties that transport and store real assets, such as warehouses and cold-storage properties, could be more inflation-resistant and insulated from short-term volatility. Additionally, apartment properties, particularly affordable properties, may outperform due to a decrease in mortgage demand, which will support the rental market. According to Real Capital Analytics, U.S. real estate transaction
TIAA Retirement Annuity Accounts TIAA Real Estate Account Real Estate As of 6/30/2022 Continued on next page… volumes are up 17% year-to-year as of June 2022. Over the past year, apartments and industrial have captured approximately 63% of total U.S. transaction volumes, illustrating the strong investor interest in these two property types. The Account earned a net 5.11% return in the second quarter of 2022 and 23.04% over the last year. The strong performance resulted from materially positive appreciation within the industrial, housing, and alternative real estate sectors over both periods. Favorable borrowing costs and attractive supply and demand fundamentals resulted in increased investor demand, which was the dominant contributor to appreciation. However, current market conditions and rising interest rates have reduced investor appetite in these sectors. As of June 30, 2022, the Account's leverage position was 17.2%. Low relative leverage allows the Account to remain highly selective regarding capital deployment. The Account has been focused on improving portfolio diversification, targeting a reduction of lower productivity assets, and acquiring assets with greater economic resiliency.
