24 Capital Market Outlook x Expectations for a rebound in global growth will be challenged by the Coronavirus and its effects on Asia and emerging market growth . Supply chains, along with business and consumer spending, will be pressured near term as contagion spreads around the globe . x The Fed cut the federal funds rate 50 bps to a range of 1 % - 1 . 25 % in response to the “evolving risk” the Coronavirus outbreak poses to the economy . x The path of interest rates will be volatile given the severe reactions to the development of the Coronavirus, potential results in the U . S . general election, any escalation in trade tensions, and the reaction of central banks . Long maturity interest rates are at an all - time historic low . The HIT believes the level of rates and fixed - income returns will be supported in the near - term . x Credit markets will be tested as the effects on supply chains and commerce weigh on growth and earnings . x Central banks around the globe continue to ease monetary policy in response to downside growth risks . x Demand for agency multifamily securities with call protection and high credit quality should drive relative performance in volatile capital markets with a flight to safety, which could benefit the HIT .
