The real estate credit market, long stagnant, is beginning a clear recovery. In two months, the demand for loans has almost doubled, driven by a decrease in rates and a reopening of bank lending.

While April marks a turning point, the sector is questioning: are we witnessing the beginning of a cycle or a fragile pause?

In an economic context where every trade tension weighs on global markets, Washington has chosen firmness. On June 11, Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, ruled out any reduction in tariffs imposed on China. An unambiguous announcement, despite an agreement announced as "concluded" by both capitals. This tariff status quo reinforces uncertainty about global supply chains and sends a clear signal: the time is not for easing, even amid diplomatic dialogue.

The May US inflation shows a deceptive calm: +0.1% for the month, a figure below expectations that immediately boosted risky assets. However, behind this lull lies more enduring tensions, fueled by the renewed offensive of tariff hikes decided by the Trump administration.

As the BRICS summit in Rio approaches, Ron Paul sounds the alarm: a monetary shift is underway. The parliamentarian mentions a "Rio Reset," a coordinated offensive by emerging economies to marginalize the dollar in global trade.

By threatening the independence of the Fed, Trump is reviving an old fracture with major economic and political implications.
