Is the market making you anxious?

Prices surged, then quickly gave up gains as escalating tensions between Iran and Israel rattled a region responsible for a third of the world’s crude. But behind the short-term volatility lies a deeper shift in the global energy landscape—one that could redefine the future of oil demand.While Brent and WTI recently notched their strongest weeks of the year earlier this month, some analysts warn that the momentum may be fleeting, with prices potentially dipping into the $40s. At the same time, the global center of energy demand is beginning to tilt—from China to a rapidly rising India.As the world’s fastest-growing oil and gas market steps into the spotlight, key questions emerge: Can India sustain this growth? What does this mean for global supply, prices, and geopolitics? And how will the evolving role of natural gas fit into this new equation?On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Lin Ye, Vice President, Commodities Markets – Oil at Rystad Energy, to find out more.

Remember Donna the Deer Lady, and her call to a radio talk show that electrified the nation?To refresh your memory, she was wondering why the highway department place the "Deer Crossing" signs at the busiest sections, where the deer were most likely to get hit by a moving vehicle. “Why are we encouraging deer to cross at the interstate?

Navigating Multifamily CRE in a Volatile Environment Insights from Paul Fiorilla, Director of U.S. Research at Yardi Matrix   Paul Fiorilla offers a data-driven view of today's commercial real estate (CRE) landscape using the vast resources he has at his disposal at Yardi.   While market sentiment may be growing more optimistic, Fiorilla acknowledges investors should separate short-term mood from long-term fundamentals. His perspective, rooted in close analysis of multifamily data and macro conditions, is both pragmatic and cautionary: yes, there's capital on the sidelines and deals are getting done but many investors may be misreading the durability of recent tailwinds and underestimating latent risks.   Short-Term Confidence, Long-Term Industry   Real estate is an inherently long-term, illiquid asset class yet, much of the current market behavior appears to be anchored in short-term confidence (and short term memories). That dissonance should give investors pause. While macroeconomic shocks like tariffs, interest rate hikes, and political uncertainty do not immediately register in quarterly CRE data, their effects compound over time.   Investor sentiment, meanwhile, remains buoyant. Debt markets have resumed activity, stock indices are back near prior highs, and many assume the worst is behind us. But the lagging nature of real estate data means we're still months away from fully seeing the impacts of recent fiscal and geopolitical developments.   Multifamily Fundamentals: A Shifting Landscape   Fiorilla addresses the fundamentals of the multifamily sector, noting that demand has remained strong in recent years, but the distribution of that demand is shifting. Rent growth is no longer universal. Over the past 15 months, metros in the Midwest and Northeast, markets like Chicago and New York, have consistently posted moderate, steady rent growth. In contrast, high-growth Sunbelt cities such as Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, and Salt Lake City are experiencing flat to negative rent trends.   What's driving this bifurcation is primarily supply. In oversupplied markets, absorption hasn't kept pace with new deliveries. Despite a sharp national decline in starts, down approximately 40% year-over-year, the existing pipeline remains heavy. Nationally, over 1.2 million units are either in lease-up or under construction. In high-growth markets, deliveries will continue at elevated levels for the next several years. Some cities may see 12–15% added to their multifamily inventory by 2027.   Fiorilla underscores that while national numbers suggest a tapering of supply, the local realities are more complex. Markets that arguably need more housing, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago for example, are seeing similar slowdowns in new development as oversaturated markets. The result is a continued misalignment between where capital is building and where it's most needed.   The Waning Tailwinds of Demand   Fiorilla also points to softening demand drivers that may soon undermine current assumptions. Over the past several years, demand has been supported by several powerful tailwinds: robust job growth, high immigration, and pandemic-era trends such as household formation and suburban relocation. But these are now tapering.   Net immigration, while still meaningful, is slowing. Job growth has begun to decelerate. Moreover, federal employment cuts and delays in private-sector hiring – driven by political and fiscal uncertainty – are contributing to a weakening outlook for household formation. These are not necessarily signs of imminent distress, but they do suggest that the extraordinary absorption rates of 2021–2022 will be difficult to sustain.   As Fiorilla puts it, “the risks are to the downside.” He's not forecasting a collapse but cautions against overreliance on recent performance when underwriting future deals, particularly in light of ongoing supply pressure.   Policy Risk and the Fragility of Subsidized Housing   Among the more underappreciated risks in the market, Fiorilla emphasizes policy risk, especially in affordable and subsidized housing. He notes that while programs like LIHTC and Opportunity Zones appear safe, others such as Section 8 are under pressure.   Of particular concern are proposals to convert these programs into state-administered block grants. While this may seem like a technocratic shift, it would represent a material change for property owners. Federal guarantees would be replaced by varying state-level funding regimes, increasing payment risk and reducing the predictability that underpins underwriting in the subsidized housing sector. For owners reliant on these programs, even modest payment disruptions could be “catastrophic,” he notes.   Interest Rate Volatility: The Real Pain Point   Turning to capital markets, Fiorilla distinguishes between the level of interest rates and the pace at which they change. Today's rates, he argues, are not historically high. Pre-GFC, rates were often at similar levels. What's destabilizing is the speed of change. A sharp increase from near-zero to 4–5% within a single year has impaired refinancing feasibility and upended underwriting assumptions.   This volatility, not the rates themselves, has created most of the current distress. Borrowers facing refinancing at double or triple the prior coupon are under strain. And yet, transaction activity persists, with many deals still pricing at thin or even negative leverage. Why? Because the #1 driver of compressed cap rates is investor confidence in future cash flows. The belief that rents will continue to rise justifies aggressive pricing – until it doesn't.   This mindset echoes pre-GFC sentiment, where rent growth was taken as a given. Fiorilla is quick to clarify that today's market is not nearly as reckless. Still, elevated pricing in an environment of cooling fundamentals could leave investors dangerously exposed to even mild shocks.   Quiet Distress and the Maturity Wall   Another issue masked by short-term optimism is the growing volume of loan maturities. These include both regularly scheduled maturities and loans previously extended during 2021–2023 that are now reaching their end.   Fiorilla notes that many of these are being addressed quietly. Lenders, reluctant to force asset sales, are working with borrowers on a case-by-case basis. The result: distress is real, but it's largely invisible. There's little evidence of forced portfolio liquidations or widespread delinquencies – yet.   The availability of capital, particularly for multifamily, is helping to buffer these pressures. There's no shortage of dry powder. But absent a sharp rate reversal or improved clarity from policymakers, the sector could see a slow bleed of marginal deals rather than a systemic reset.   Underappreciated Geopolitical Risk   One of the most thought-provoking parts of the conversation concerns CRE's growing sensitivity to global and political dynamics. This is a structural change. The U.S. has long benefited from its role as a stable, rule-of-law jurisdiction. But shifts in foreign policy, trade restrictions, and political dysfunction are beginning to weigh on foreign investment.   Declining Canadian cross-border investment and tighter restrictions on visa travel are, in part, evidence of this shift. These aren't headline stories but they are meaningful. If the U.S. loses its perception as a reliable haven for capital, CRE pricing could face downward pressure from shrinking foreign demand. This is a long-term trend worth monitoring closely, not a transitory blip.   What He's Watching   When asked what indicators he watches most closely, Fiorilla points to three primary metrics: Occupancy Rates – Particularly in high-supply markets. Stabilized occupancy below 94% would be an early warning sign. Absorption Trends – A sustained drop in household formation or leasing activity could signal weakening demand. Employment Data – Job losses, especially if broad-based, would ripple into rent growth and occupancy. He also monitors transaction volume as a proxy for investor confidence. If deal flow freezes again, that would signal a recalibration of forward expectations.   Final Reflection   While Fiorilla resists giving investment advice, his closing thoughts reflect a conservative posture. He's not sitting on the sidelines entirely but he's not rushing in either. Caution, portfolio balance, and realistic expectations are the guiding principles.   For CRE professionals, this conversation is a reminder to look past sentiment and dig into the data and the fundamentals: local supply pipelines, policy shifts, interest rate trends, and the fragility of assumptions underpinning future rent growth. The macro backdrop is far from stable and the margin for error, even in multifamily, may be thinner than it appears.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Today's podcast explores how leaders can thrive in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment by embracing adaptive, principle-based leadership rooted in the Shingo Model™. Drawing on insights from the book Leading Excellence, the episode introduces the concept of the “5 Hats of the Adaptive Leader”—Inspire, Coach, Teach, Support, and Direct—as practical tools to guide leaders in responding effectively to different situations. It emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own core belief system, as well as those of others, to foster emotional intelligence and ideal behaviors. Leaders must shape culture intentionally, align systems to drive desired behaviors, and connect every individual to a shared purpose. By consistently reinforcing principles like Respect Every Individual and Lead with Humility, leaders can create workplaces where people flourish and organizations thrive. The discussion offers a roadmap for developing culture, empowering teams, and leading with purpose—delivering sustainable, profitable results in a human-centered way.To learn more about the Shingo Model, please visit https://shingo.org. To view the webinar associated with this podcast, please visit https://youtu.be/3aHx4aAvBEA. 

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: You need to define what success means to you specifically. Stop chasing everyone else's dreams and start creating your own. BIG IDEA #2: Uncertainty is an opportunity. While everyone else is caught up on what's happening in the world around them, focus on what you control. Success comes to those who focus on living from the inside out. BIG IDEA #3: Take aligned and intentional action every day. Everyone says they're so busy but are you busy doing things that really matter? If the actions you're taking aren't in alignment with your definition of success, you'll never succeed no matter how hard you work.

Many of our talent and career development models stem from another age - when we joined a company, got a number of promotions and stayed as long as the company allowed us to. Of course, nowadays, the reality for many of us is very different. Flatter structures offer fewer promotional opportunities. Volatile markets mean that the longevity of companies has declined. And whilst there is some debate about whether Gen Z and Millennials do want to change companies more often - in one sector, there's clear evidence that retaining your people is more of a challenge. In the tech sector, employees are changing jobs and companies every 2 years or so. This is a particular challenge for smaller tech companies where promotional opportunities are more limited. So, how does an HR Director tackle this challenge? Is it about creating golden handcuffs or just accepting that this is the new normal? To discuss this issue Lucy is joined by Matt Kennedy, CPO at Go1, a leading learning content provider. Matt provides an intriguing perspective on the evolving challenges of employee retention in the tech industry, where traditional career paths are being upended. He shares his story of transitioning from Microsoft and Starbucks to a cutting-edge tech company . We explore how smaller tech companies can distinguish themselves from larger corporations by offering more personalized growth opportunities and promoting impactful projects. We discuss the importance of being transparent about career paths and creating a culture that not only retains talent but also transforms former employees into ambassadors for the organization. His experiences highlight the vital role of informal mentorship and real-world experiences in developing soft skills that complement formal training. For HR professionals eager to challenge the norms and enhance employee retention, this conversation is packed with practical strategies and thought-provoking insights that will leave you rethinking your approach to building a resilient workforce in the dynamic tech landscape.

Yields consistently above 4.5% equate to equity volatility, says Alec Young. He shows the correlation between sharp upticks in yields leading to a "shock to the system" for stocks. On the Mag 7, Alec considers Meta Platforms (META) a "favorite" while listing Tesla (TSLA) as a "riskier" play on the future. Nvidia (NVDA) is another stock Alec expects to thrive if it continues current growth projections.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take a wrecking ball to the myths of modern homeownership—armed with caffeine, sarcasm, and a well-earned chip on their shoulder. From the Fed's tightrope act to the slow-motion implosion of consumer confidence, they unpack the real estate market's latest mood swings, including a 5.9% drop in existing home sales and why homebuilder incentives might not be the golden ticket they appear to be. Whether it's mortgage points, ARMs, or the lock-in effect, the guys explain how debt, equity, and psychology are shaping a volatile new paradigm for aspiring homeowners.➡️ But wait—this isn't just economic therapy. It's also gym confessions, cold plunges, burrito-based diet plans, and a hard truth: you're probably not timing the market better than Warren Buffett. The duo dives into the dangers of being house poor, why your credit score isn't as accurate as you think, and why buying a home should be more about life fit than market timing. If you've ever wondered whether intermittent fasting, lifting routines, and homeownership prep could be discussed in the same breath, buckle up. This is The Higher Standard—where financial literacy meets real-life chaos and a lot of unsolicited fitness advice.

What if the air freshener in your car was more dangerous than the pollution outside? In this explosive episode, Darin reveals what's really inside those “harmless” little trees hanging from car mirrors—and why they could be silently damaging your health. Backed by real science and peer-reviewed studies, Darin uncovers the shocking truth about volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the health effects on the brain and lungs, and the corporations that won't label them. You'll also learn how to detox your air, reclaim your health, and even start a grassroots movement to get a fragrance-free option in ride shares like Uber and Lyft. Studies: There's this study called “Volatile Chemical Emissions from Car Air Fresheners”—and wow. Researchers analyzed 12 popular car fresheners—those trees, clips, sprays, gels—you name it. Here's what they found: 546 volatile organic compounds. That's VOCs. Out of those, 30 were considered potentially hazardous—things like formaldehyde, benzene, and other stuff you definitely don't want marinating your brain. And you know what's wild?
Not a single one of those hazardous chemicals was listed on the label.
(Steinemann et al., 2020) There's a study called “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Asthmatics”—and it found that over 64% of people with asthma reported real symptoms from these scented products: wheezing, headaches, even full-on asthma attacks. And 41% said air fresheners were the trigger (Steinemann, 2017). Another one? “Migraine Headaches and Fragranced Consumer Products.” Nearly half of the people who get migraines said air fresheners specifically set them off (Steinemann & Nematollahi, 2020). And if you're neurodivergent—like folks with autism? This next one breaks my heart.
In the study “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Autistic Adults,” 83.7% of autistic individuals said fragranced products triggered serious neurological and respiratory problems—and 63% said air fresheners were one of the worst offenders (Steinemann, 2018). In a study out of Nigeria, researchers exposed mice to a solid commercial air freshener. After a few weeks, the mice showed increased anxiety, depression-like behavior, memory loss, and signs of oxidative stress in the brain. Their brains were literally under chemical assault.
The study's called “Neurobehavioral Effects of Prolonged Exposure to Solid Air Freshener in Mice.” Check it out—it's eye-opening (Umukoro et al., 2019). Sorry to tell you… greenwashed products aren't any better. In the same 2020 study I mentioned earlier, researchers tested “natural” versions too—and found no meaningful difference in the chemicals they released (Steinemann et al., 2020).     What You'll Learn in This Episode: 00:00 – Introduction: The truth about air fresheners 00:44 – Why Darin refuses to use ride shares with scent trees 01:50 – The hidden study on VOCs in popular car air fresheners 02:30 – 546 chemicals discovered—30 considered hazardous 03:00 – Where is the regulation?
