REITs Lead On Earnings Uplift
US equity markets posted a mixed performance this week, while benchmark interest rates rebounded from two-month lows, as investors saw grounds for Fed hawkishness across a critical slate of employment data. The U.S. economy added 143k jobs in January. Upward revisions to prior months and strong wage growth metrics indicated that labor markets remain "healthy" at minimum, and perhaps even "tight." Following a decline of 1% last week sparked by "DeepSeek" concerns, the S&P 500 retreated by 0.2%, relinquishing an early week rally. The Small-Cap and Mid-Cap indexes dipped 1%.

Volatility Is Back
US equity markets posted modest declines this week amid a "DeepSeek" tumble, while interest rates declined to six-week lows as markets responded to the pause in the Fed's rate-cutting cycle. The Nasdaq 100 was the center of the action this week, dipping 1.4% on concern over potential competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek, which sparked a sharp sell-off in AI-darlings. Real estate equities were among the stronger performers for a third-straight week, buoyed by easing interest rates and by a relatively solid start to REIT earnings season.
