Following the best week of the year, U.S. equity markets were mixed this week as interest rates rebounded from the prior week's plunge after Fed officials pushed back on market optimism. Posting gains in nine out of ten sessions since dipping into "correction territory" at the end of October, the S&P 500 gained 1.4% on the week, but Mid-Caps and Small-Caps posted declines. Following their best week since 2020, REITs took a step back this week as upward pressure on benchmark interest rates offset a solid conclusion to a strong earnings season.

City Office has been left for dead in the unloved REIT sector during late 2023, despite solid FFO generation and a stable future. The valuation setup is at all-time lows on work-from-home fears for office property demand, and rising long-term interest rates. A technical oversold condition, lack of volume selling to confirm new price lows in October, and a large price gain last week on light volume, make the bullish argument.
