According to PGIM Fixed Income’s G-10 lead economist Ellen Gaske and chief investment strategist Robert Tipp, we may expect to see two rate cuts in the second half of 2019—more than what the median Fed projection has penciled in, but less than the three cuts the market has been pricing in.

Cameron Lochhead has been named global head of PGIM’s Institutional Relationship Group, dedicated to deepening strong relationships with institutional clients and continuing to grow PGIM’s reputation for superior client service.

PGIM Real Estate Finance has provided a $200 million refinancing loan to Jack Resnick & Sons for 315 Hudson St. in Manhattan.

Nathan Sheets, PGIM Fixed Income’s chief economist and head of global macroeconomic research, recognizes that uncertainties regarding U.S.-China trade tensions have multiplied and provides perspective based on the question of “what do we actually know?”

Despite the global growth slowdown, QMA projects that the general trend should be up near term, underpinned by central bank dovishness, and reasonably attractive valuations, as detailed in its latest Outlook & Review.
