| Trade Talks, Fed Hawks, Market Balks |
US equity markets posted modest declines this past week after the Federal Reserve held rates steady and maintained its status quo "wait-and-see" approach, but acknowledged heightened inflation and labor market risks. Meanwhile, White House officials headed to Switzerland to begin high-level trade talks with China, which follows the announcement of the first major post-Liberation Day trade deal with the United Kingdom. Following its best two-week stretch since late 2022, the S&P 500 slipped 0.4% this week - extending its drawdown to around 8% from its mid-February record highs. |

Early week gains were pared following comments from Fed Chair Powell regarding the inflationary impact of tariffs and the reluctance of the Fed to step in to support markets. The hawkish comments sparked a series of blistering critiques by President Trump, accusing the Fed Chair of "playing politics" and posting that his "termination cannot come fast enough." |

While the S&P 500 and other major benchmarks entered "correction territory" this month for the first time since 2023, U.S. REITs have meaningfully outperformed the broader equity market since mid-January. The rebound follows a truly forgettable three-year period for REITs dating back to the start of the Fed's rate hiking cycle in which REITs have accumulated 40 percentage-points of underperformance. REITs remain as unloved as ever: The number of publicly listed REITs declined for a fourth-straight year in 2024. As an asset class, REITs are the single-largest "underweight" among institutional investors. |

Commercial Mortgage REITs were the "biggest loser" of REIT earnings season after results showed ongoing problems in the office space and a significant deterioration in multifamily bridge loan performance. Results from Hotel REITs were also disappointing given the record-levels of travel demand, as margin pressures from higher labor costs have taken a sizable bite out of bottom-line profitability. |

US equity markets tumbled this week - suffering its worst week in six months - as disappointing employment reports and fast-shifting tariff policy failed to improve skittish investor sentiment. Reminiscent of Fed Chair Powell's infamous August 2022 "some pain ahead" speech, the Trump Administration warned of a "little disturbance" and a necessary "detox period" for the U.S. economy. Softer-than-expected employment data this week fueled doubts that sweeping overhauls to trade policy and fiscal spending can be accomplished without risking a recession. |

BXMT's high dividend yield and seemingly cheap valuation are attractive, but its office-dominated loan book is poorly positioned for the current high interest rate environment. Rising interest rates increase net interest income but also pressure borrowers, leading to defaults and charge-offs, which significantly impact BXMT's distributable earnings. Despite a significant margin of safety due to potential loan recovery rates, bullish catalysts like lower interest rates seem unlikely in the near term. |

Blackstone Mortgage Trust faces ongoing credit quality issues, particularly in its U.S. office segment, leading to under-earned dividends despite a recent 24% cut. The trust's distributable earnings fell short of its reduced dividend, reflecting a strained credit situation and potential for further dividend cuts. Despite these challenges, BXMT trades at a 15% discount to book value, suggesting limited downside risk for risk-seeking investors seeking a 10% yield. |
