Nearly half of prospective home sellers are confident they can get their asking price this spring, News Corp.'s (NWS, NWSA) Realtor.com said Tuesday.A survey by the online real estate portal showed that 46% of potential sellers expect to meet buyers at their asking price. Some 37% expect to receive higher prices.More than two-thirds, or 74%, believe now is a good time to sell amid strong home values, limited inventory and stabilizing interest rates, Realtor.com said."Sellers this spring are entering the market clear-eyed," Laura Eddy, vice president of research and insights at Realtor.com, said. "They understand their home has value, and they're motivated to act, but they're also more attuned to the reality that buyers have regained some footing."The survey showed that 75% of potential sellers expect their homes to sell within four months, including 27% who are optimistic about selling within one to two months, according to the Realtor.com report. The typical home spends 57 days on market."Yet beneath that confidence lies a more nuanced picture: concession expectations are rising, and sellers' reads on market conditions vary sharply by region," Realtor.com Senior Economic Research Analyst Hannah Jones said. "The spring window is open, but the seller experience depends heavily on where a home is listed and how it's priced."Price: $28.90, Change: $+0.07, Percent Change: +0.23%

IMF Lowers 2026 Global Economic Growth Outlook Amid Middle East Conflict

The International Monetary Fund lowered its global economic growth expectations for 2026 due to the Middle East conflict, cautioning that a prolonged war could drive a further slowdown.The IMF said Tuesday that it now projects real gross domestic product for the world to grow by 3.1% in 2026, down 0.2 percentage points from its previous forecast in January.Growth will slow down to 2.5% this year under an adverse scenario with more persistent increases in energy prices. That figure will drop to 2% under a worst-case scenario featuring additional damage to energy infrastructure in the Middle East.The conflict presents "a significant counterforce" to tailwinds such as technology-related investment and accommodative financial conditions, the IMF said in its latest world economic outlook report.Global GDP expectations for 2027 were kept unchanged at 3.2%.The agency raised its base-case global inflation forecasts to 4.4% and 3.7% in 2026 and 2027, respectively, from 3.8% and 3.4% previously projected.The IMF expects inflation to reach 5.4% this year in an adverse scenario and cross 6% assuming energy supply dislocations extend into next year."Downside risks dominate the outlook," the IMF said. "A longer or broader conflict, worsening geopolitical fragmentation, a reassessment of expectations surrounding artificial intelligence-driven productivity, or renewed trade tensions could significantly weaken growth and destabilize financial markets."Energy prices have shot up since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran, which resulted in the US blockade of maritime traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports. Washington and Tehran agreed to a temporary ceasefire last week, but failed to reach a deal during negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend.The US and Iran could resume talks later this week, possibly in Pakistan, media outlets reported Tuesday, citing US President Donald Trump."Fostering adaptability, maintaining credible policy frameworks, and reinforcing international cooperation are essential to navigating the current shock while preparing for future disruptions in an increasingly uncertain global environment," the IMF said.

Market Chatter: US Set to Let Iran Oil Waiver Expire Amid Strait of Hormuz Blockade

The Trump administration is set to let a 30-day sanctions waiver for Iranian oil expire this weekend, a move that threatens to further squeeze global energy markets as the US blockades the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing two White House officials.The waiver, issued by the Treasury Department on Mar. 20, allowed about 140 million barrels of Iranian crude already at sea to reach buyers, primarily in Asia.The waiver, which is set to expire on Apr. 19, comes amid the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and the Hormuz following the collapse of peace talks in Pakistan last weekend.The US has a broad range of penalties it can impose on entities engaged in illicit dealings with Iran, including the purchase of its oil, through secondary sanctions.The White House and the US Treasury Department did not immediately respond to' request for comment.The Trump administration also opted not to renew a waiver for Russian oil at sea, which expired Saturday.US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled a more aggressive posture, saying that a US blockade of the Strait would be enforced to halt transit by Chinese vessels and other tankers.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
