With so much uncertainty in the market, US Equities (^GSPC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) can be tricky to navigate. Investors may want to consider alternatives to traditional stocks. Bluerock Head of Market Research & Strategy Miguel Sosa joins Wealth! to share key reasons to narrow in on private markets, especially when it comes to real estate and credit. Sosa explains that Bluerock's particular interest is in the industrial, specialty, and multi-family sectors of private real estate : "We like the specialty sector because it's such a unique space that's not too correlated to the economic cycle. So for example, if you think of data centers, data centers sit in the specialty sector, and if the economy is doing well, people are going to consume social media content on their phones or on their computer. If the economy is weak, they're going to consume social media content on their phones or on their computer. So it's very resistant to economic cycles."

The strength of the U.S. housing market and potentially stalled progress on inflation means monetary policy may not be as tight as Federal Reserve officials think it is, Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said in a new essay on Tuesday that raises the possibility price pressures are "settling" to a level above the Fed's 2% target. Wrongly estimating how current policy is affecting the economy "could explain the constellation of data we are observing," particularly in housing but more broadly in ongoing economic growth, Kashkari wrote. Housing in particular is "proving more resilient to...tight policy than it generally has in the past," depriving the Fed of what is typically a key channel for the impact of high interest rates to be felt.
