After recapping positive market performance for March and the quarter, DoubleLine’s Jeff Mayberry and Sam Lau turn to the Topic of the Week: how commercial real estate (CRE) lending will be impacted by the recent issues at regional banks (20:36)*. Sam begins by laying out the size of the role that regional banks play in the CRE lending space (22:19) before Jeff & Sam get into DoubleLine’s overall outlook (24:57): the cost of financing will go up for those seeking capital. The two in particular discuss the $2.5 trillion in CRE loans coming due in the next five years and what options such as modifications and strategic default will be available for lenders and borrowers, with Sam and Jeff noting that loans will be handled on a case-by-case basis due to idiosyncratic factors.
The final market week of March (27-31) assisted monthly and quarterly performance for equities (2:18), fixed income (4:53) and Bitcoin (11:24). The broader commodities market (8:40) missed out on the green quarter. Macro Land received a lot of numbers for the week, including home prices (11:57), jobless claims (13:08), a PCE print (14:07), inflation expectations (15:32) and the Fed balance sheet (16:01). Jeff also shares some choice Fed official quotes (17:10). Next week will also be a busy data week (36:42), with Jeff and Sam getting prints for manufacturing and services PMI, JOLTS, jobless claims and nonfarm payrolls. MMM will be recording and releasing this Thursday due to the Good Friday holiday.
