U.S. equity markets rebounded this week as investors weighed a relatively strong slate of housing market data and solid retail earnings against heightened geopolitical volatility in Eastern Europe. Following its worst week in two months, the S&P 500 advanced 1.7% this week - effectively erasing last week's 2% declines and extending its post-election gains to around 5%. Real estate equities - which lagged in two post-election weeks amid a rebound in interest rates - were among the leaders this week following an encouraging slate of REITworld updates.

U.S. equity markets posted their worst week in two months as benchmark interest rates jumped to four-month highs after a critical slate of inflation data showed modestly firming price pressures. Fueling bets that the Federal Reserve may have to slow the pace of policy easing, the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index each posted fractional upside surprises in October. After surging nearly 5% last week en route to fresh record highs, the S&P 500 dipped 2.1% on the week, with healthcare and technology stocks under particularly sharp pressure.

U.S. equity markets extended gains to a fifth-straight week despite a continued upswell in benchmark interest rates, as investors weighed a solid start to earnings season against lukewarm inflation data. All eyes were on the Consumer Price Index report, which posted a fractional upside surprise in September for a second-straight month, which followed four straight months of cooler-than-expected reports. Bond markets remained under pressure as buoyant labor market data last week and lukewarm inflation data this week has prompted investors to re-think the prospects of aggressive Fed rate cuts.

Public REITs have benefited from a great rotation within equity markets since the end of June, with U.S. REITs returning 13.2% vs. S&P 500 3.7%. Clear evidence of a growth slowdown and moderating inflation has increased the market's conviction Fed rate cuts are imminent. REITs in sectors such as senior housing, single-family rental, cold warehouse storage, and wireless towers are a compelling opportunity with visible, defensive cash flows that offer attractive growth under a variety of economic outcomes.

Q2 Earnings Season Looms Large in Hopes for Broader Stocks Rally

We're at the halfway point of another consequential real estate earnings season, with 75 of the roughly 150 equity REITs and 19 of 38 mortgage REITs now having reported results. Amid an otherwise underwhelming earnings season across the broader equity market, REIT earnings results thus far have been materially better than anticipated, providing an added tailwind to rate-related optimism. Of the 65 equity REITs that have provided full-year guidance for Funds from Operations ("FFO"), 44 (68%) have raised their full-year outlook, while just 6 (8%) have lowered their outlook.

U.S. equity markets climbed to record highs, while benchmark interest rates dipped to four-month lows as investors rotated from high-flying growth stocks into beaten-down value names following a cooler-than-expected CPI report. Headline CPI declined 0.1% month-over-month, which dragged the annual increase to below 3% for the first time since March 2021, while CPI ex-Shelter is again below the Fed's 2% target. Combined with recent softness in employment data and relatively dovish Fed commentary, markets now see at least two Fed rate cuts this year, with September now viewed as a near-lock.

REITs Rip As Rates Retreat

Rate cuts have finally arrived, but why hasn't it benefitted REITs? What's needed to lift the REITs market. Why REITs are still struggling.

Why More Rate Cuts May Be Needed To Help Lift REITs

U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance as investors parsed a perplexing slate of employment data, showing clear signs of cooling across essentially all metrics except for the "headline" payrolls print. The BLS reported that the U.S. economy added a robust 272k jobs in May, but prior months were revised substantially lower while the twin Household Survey showed a half-million job losses. The conflicting - and perhaps erroneous - employment data delayed the expected timeline for the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting cycle, while also raising the prospects of a data-driven policy error.

U.S. equity and bond markets staged a late-week rebound, erasing early-week declines prompted by disappointing Eurozone inflation data, after the crucial PCE inflation gauge posted its smallest increase of 2024. Posting a second week of modest declines following four-straight weekly gains, the S&P 500 finished lower by 0.4% on the week, but still notched its best month since February. Real estate equities also rebounded following steep declines in the prior week as a handful of REITs provided positive business updates ahead of the annual REITweek industry conference.

U.S. equity markets snapped a four-week winning streak while benchmark interest rates rebounded as hopes for imminent major central bank monetary easing were curtailed by stubbornly hot U.K. inflation data. Still hovering around all-time highs, the S&P 500 finished fractionally lower, but tech stocks were led higher by chip giant Nvidia on the heels of an impressive "AI-enhanced" earnings report. Halting a four-week rebound and continuing to be swung around by rate movements, real estate equities fell sharply this week as benchmark rates rebounded from one-month lows.

Rally Gets Reality Check

REIT FFO/share growth in 2023 was stalled due to increased insurance premiums and property taxes. Property taxes jumped from $170B to almost $200B in 2023, while insurance costs doubled as a percentage of revenue. Higher insurance premiums reduced FFO margins by nearly 100 basis points, impacting FFO/share growth.

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record highs, while benchmark interest rates dipped to one-month lows after a critical slate of inflation and retail sales data showed an unexpected cooldown. Reflecting the mounting quantity of downside economic surprises, the Citi Economic Surprise Index dipped to the lowest level since early 2023, indicating a rather abrupt reversal in economic momentum. Mildly encouraging inflation news and sluggish retail sales data lifted bets that the Fed can cut rates multiple times this year. Climbing to fresh record highs, the S&P 500 gained 1.6%.

U.S. equity markets advanced for a second week while benchmark interest rates retreated from five-month highs after a critical slate of employment data showed a long-awaited cooldown in hiring trends. Foreshadowed by "dovish" remarks from Fed Chair Powell at the FOMC's policy meeting, payrolls data showed that job growth slowed to six-month lows while wage growth cooled to three-year lows. Following its best week since November, the S&P 500 advanced 0.6%, while bonds caught a bid this week across the yield and maturity curve.
