Financial journalist opinion

Based on 4 articles about FREL published over the past 30 days

Following their worst week since mid-2023, U.S. equity markets rebounded this week while benchmark interest rates dipped to two-year lows as investors parsed a relatively encouraging slate of inflation data. The critical CPI and PPI reports showed that - excluding the dubious shelter component - consumer and producer price pressures now appear well-contained, following the painful pandemic-era inflation surge. The S&P 500 rallied 4.0%, lifting the major equity benchmark to within 0.5% of fresh record highs. The policy-sensitive 2-Year Treasury Yield dipped to the lowest level in two years.

Fed Ahead

The September Swoon

U.S. equity markets posted their worst week since March 2023 while benchmark interest rates tumbled to eighteen-month lows after employment data indicated a further cooling in economic momentum. Among several disappointing reports, BLS Nonfarm Payrolls data showed that the U.S. economy added just 142k jobs in August, while prior months were again revised sharply lower. Snapping a four-week winning streak that lifted the major benchmark to the cusp of record highs, the S&P 500 tumbled 4.1% this week. Technology stocks dragged on the downside.

The September Swoon

A Summer To Remember

U.S. equity markets climbed to record-highs while benchmark interest rates rebounded from eight-month lows on a relatively quiet end-of-summer week as investors parsed a 'Goldilocks' slate of economic data. PCE data showed modest inflationary pressures in July - keeping the Fed on course for multiple rate cuts by year-end - while consumer spending and consumer confidence data topped estimates. Posting gains for a fourth week following a three-week skid in late July, the S&P 500 gained another 0.3% this week. The Dow Jones finished the week at all-time record-highs.

The Time Has Come

U.S. equity markets rallied this week while benchmark interest rates tumbled to the lows of the year after Fed Chair Powell stated that the "time has come" to cut rates. The dovish pivot, underscored by an emphasis on "cooling labor markets," was further supported by data from the BLS showing that job growth has been far weaker than initially reported. The S&P 500 gained 1.4% this week, lifting the major benchmark to back within 0.5% of all-time record-highs. The Small-Cap 600 and Mid-Cap 400 each rallied nearly 3%.

The Time Has Come

Chasing Goldilocks

U.S. equity markets rallied while benchmark interest rates remained near the lows of the year after a critical slate of inflation data showed further encouraging signs of cooling price pressures. The Consumer Price Index posted a downside surprise for a fourth straight month, underscored by a "2-Handle" on Headline CPI, which follows a period of historically high inflation from 2021 to 2023. Sparking a renewed "Goldilocks" narrative, Retail Sales data was notably stronger than expected in July - posting its strongest monthly increase in 18 months - while Jobless Claims also moderated.

The REIT Comeback: Earnings Recap

Over 200 U.S. REITs and homebuilders have reported second-quarter earnings results over the past six weeks, providing critical information on the state of the commercial and residential real estate industry. In this report, we highlight some quick incremental positives and negatives we've observed across each of the major property sectors. Next week, we'll publish our detailed "Winners & Losers" Report. Of the 96 equity REITs that provide full-year FFO guidance, 57 (59%) raised their outlook, while 13 (14%) lowered - well above the historical second-quarter average "raise rate" of 40-45%.

The REIT Comeback: Earnings Recap

Behind The Curve

U.S. equity markets tumbled in a volatile week, while benchmark interest rates plunged by the most since December 2008 after employment data showed decisive evidence of weakening labor market conditions. Volatility was amplified by a confluence of central bank policy decisions, a hit-and-miss slate of corporate earnings results, an intensification of geopolitical risks, and a re-pricing of domestic political expectations. Among several weak employment reports, the critical nonfarm payrolls report showed that the unemployment rate jumped to the highest level since 2021 in July, and the report was even weaker under-the-surface.

REIT Earnings Halftime Report

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.

3 REIT Types Poised To Soar

Soft Landing Secured

U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance while interest rates dipped to four-month lows as a lukewarm start to corporate earnings season and mixed economic data reinforced Fed rate cut expectations. Another twist in a wild month of politics, President Biden announced that he would not seek reelection, instead endorsing VP Harris, setting the stage for a more competitive November election. The S&P 500 slipped 0.8% on the week as the powerful "value rotation" trade extended into a third-week. The Small-Cap 600 rallied 3.6% while the mega-cap Nasdaq 100 dipped 2.6%.
