U.S. Manufacturing Begins Rebound from April Trough

U.S. manufacturing activity began to rebound in May after reaching an 11-year low in April. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its survey of national factory activity rose to a reading of 43.1 last month, following April’s sharp contraction to 41.5 that ended 131 consecutive months of growth. Any reading below 50 for the Purchasing Managers Index, which is based on a survey of manufacturers, indicates contraction.

South Carolina Ports CEO Unpacks Increasing Pressure On Ports

The pandemic-spawned import booms, capacity shortages and shutdowns have proved again and again the rigidity of port and supply chain infrastructure. After all, the port industry plans its infrastructure decades in advance, so increasing capacity overnight is nearly impossible. Some ports more than others, however, have demonstrated agility and operational foresight. In an exclusive interview with FreightWaves, Jim Newsome, CEO and president of South Carolina Ports Authority, unpacked three causes of congestion challenges.

Inland Warehouses Overtake Landscape

The Inland Empire supply chain doesn’t just flow, it gushes.

Logistics dominate the former citrus powerhouse where almost 5 million live. For better or worse, the region’s present and future are tied to mammothwarehouses and an 18-wheeled armada connecting the fruits of overseas labor to shopping aisles and doorsteps.

Where Are All the Truck Drivers? Shortage Adds to Delivery Delays

Truck driver Chris Wagner pulled his big rig into a grain processing plant in Sidney, Ohio, on a recent afternoon to pick up a load bound for the Chicago suburbs. He’d lost his scheduled place in line because of delays at an earlier delivery, so it was 10:45 p.m. before the plant was ready to load his trailer.

The Rise and Expansion of the Outpost Economy

“The secular shift in how we work, live, and think about our life is opening opportunities in outpost economies around the U.S.,” says Graceada Partners in a new report. These are defined as smaller cities with a quality of life that draws workers who have become untethered from their current living situation or location.

Fed Funds and GDP Through the CRE Lens

This week’s economic news packed an expected, but no-less-severe one-two punch. On July 27, 2022, the Federal Reserve hiked the effective federal funds rate (EFFR), adding to the increases made in March, May and June of this year. And less than 24 hours later, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the U.S. economy contracted for the second straight quarter, with GDP falling 0.9% at an annualized pace for the period. The question that keeps being asked is how this ongoing economic news affects commercial real estate. By way of answer, experts tell Connect CRE that commercial real estate isn’t unscathed from the ongoing economic headwinds. But they also explain that thoughtful planning, de-levering, intelligent capital strategies and appropriate asset allocation can help move the industry—and its owners and investors—through a shaky economic future.

10 Ways to Maximize Warehouse Space

After a few years of operation, you may feel as though you’re running out of room in your warehouse. While this is a frustrating problem, expanding your physical footprint isn’t the only solution.

Cap Rates vs. 10 Year Treasury

The 10-year U.S. Treasury bill (“10-Y T-bill”) is widely considered to be a “risk-free” investment with a locked-in rate of return. Because of this, the 10-Y T-bill can be viewed as a fair barometer when gauging investors’ sentiment toward alternative investments and what they are willing to risk for an expected rate of return.

U.S. Port Markets See Outsized Industrial Rent Growth, Dwindling Availability

An extraordinary amount of new supply—more than 700 million sq. ft. under construction and 650 million sq. ft in the pipeline—held down industrial rent growth nationally over the last year. But it’s a different story in supply-constrained port markets, especially Southern California and New Jersey, where rent growth is more than double the national average, according to David Greek, managing partner at New Jersey-based Greek Development.

What Wall Street’s Top Recession Gauge Is Saying Now

Wall Street is growing confident the U.S. can avoid a recession. But one key market indicator is still sending seemingly bleak signals.
Right now, yields on longer-term U.S. Treasurys remain far below those of shorter-term bonds, an anomaly known as an inverted yield curve that has earned fame as a harbinger of downturns.
