Notonly does that translate into less rapidincreases in the price of many keyconstruction inputs, but it also signifies thatthe Federal Reserve is poised to beginreducing interest rates at some point nextyear. That will support an improving projectfinancing environment, increasing demand forconstruction services in the process.“That does not mean that all risks havedisappeared,” said Basu. “Among the reasonsfor inflation’s retreat is a slowing economy.While financial markets have been laser-focused on good news on the inflation front inrecent days, less attention has been investedin the downside risks to the economy,including growing consumer indebtedness,tighter credit conditions, geopolitics and theimpact of the federal government’s insatiableappetite to take on more debt.”CONTINUE READING >THURSDAY DECEMBER 14TH, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM - CLICK HEREANNUAL AWARDS LUNCHEONCopyright: Canva ProBUILTENVIRONMENTABC: CONSTRUCTIONINPUT PRICESDECREASE 1.2% INOCTOBER, DRIVEN BYLOWER ENERGY,LUMBER AND STEELPRICESWASHINGTON, Nov. 15—Construction input pricesdeclined 1.2% in October on a monthly basis, accordingto an Associated Builders and Contractors analysis ofU.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Producer Price Indexdata released today.

But thatdistress is going to create opportunities forcapital to step [in], make some bets, and getreally good risk-adjusted returns,” says MikeMcDonald, a senior managing director in theDallas office of JLL Capital Markets, Americas.The house view from JLL is that there will beopportunities to generate alpha returns in theoffice sector over the next five years.The caveat is that it is a “stock picker’s” market,meaning that investors need to be very cautiousand selective in choosing deals that have thepotential to deliver outsized returns. “It’s notlike it was coming out of the RTC [ResolutionTrust Corporation], where you could haveliterally bought anything and made money,”says McDonald.Copyright: Canva ProWEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6TH8:00 AM - 9:30 AM: LIN MARKETING MEETING – CCIM/LINHOLIDAY PARTY - CLICK HERETUESDAY DECEMBER 12TH11:30 AM - 1:00 PM: CARNM BOARD MEETING - CLICK HERE

100-reliance on uninsured deposits.”“While the three failed banks wereextreme cases, there are other banks thatinvested heavily in fixed-rate, long-duration assets when long-term interestrates were low,” Barr continued.Those banks have since “recorded sizabledeclines in the fair value of those assetsas interest rates have increased, puttingpressure on tangible capital.”Even in the face of such challenges, Barrnoted “lending has continued to grow thisyear,” while adding that loan delinquencyrates have remained low as banks have“increased credit loss provisions tomitigate potential future losses.”BUILTENVIRONMENTSHIMMICK IPO RAISES$25M AS DISPUTE WITHAECOM DRAGS ONBy Richard Korman, ENR11/21/2023Shimmick Corp., which has focused onwater infrastructure since AECOM sold itto private owners in 2021, raised about$25 million this past week in a rare initialpublic offering of shares by a contractingcompany.The company offered 3.6 million sharesat $7, "well below the range of $10 to$12," according to Renaissance Capital,and almost one million "fewer sharesthan anticipated."

Lewandowski, University of Colorado Boulder to produce a flexiblebut simple economic model that calculates the impact on employment and output in each state from varioussizes of investment in different types of construction.The below link provides an explanation and instructions for using the model. The table below shows an example of the results obtainable from the model, in this case, the total instatejobs (construction, supplier and induced jobs throughout the state's economy) and total instate output from a$1 billion investment over one year in three types of construction: highways, nonresidential buildings, orother nonresidential structures (infrastructure).Users can choose from:In addition to total instate jobs and output, the model shows separately the impact on construction, supplierand induced jobs, output, and value added (or state gross domestic product, the amount of labor income andprofits added by the investment), and the 10 sectors that receive the most additional spending.To access AGC’s ConstructionImpact Tool click here.
