As forecasted, the calls for peak inflation at the beginning of the year are already proving wrong. Even before the response to the Russian invasion impacted commodity prices, the annual increase in the consumer price index posted a fresh 40-year high in February. While rising prices continue to strain consumers, the recent ascent in commodity prices highlights future opportunities in the industrial real estate market. For example, high oil prices benefit tenants servicing the oil industry, which in turn increases the value of industrial properties in oil fields. Rising oil prices create an opportunity for related owner-users to generate capital and expand their business by offering investors sale-leasebacks.
