The Closer Global economy remains weak, and correspondingly... ; Global money has continued to pour into America in search of yield and safety, including into commercial real estate that was particularly true in 2015, only a bit less true in 2016; Inflationary pressures are on the rise so, too, are interest rates eventually -- that could begin to squeeze asset prices in 2017/18, triggering negative wealth effects and sentiment in the process; There are indications of mini-bubbles forming in commercial real estate, particularly in office, lodging and multifamily segments; There are also longer-term structural considerations, including the national debt and pending insolvencies of Medicare and Social Security the longer-term outlook may be deteriorating even as the short-run improves; Momentum should see us through 2017, but tighter monetary policy combined with a heavy dose of political intrigue could render 2018 different. By this time in 2019/20, the economy could be in a far different place and likely will be. Photo: Google *Kyra Sedgwick as Brenda Leigh Johnson
