USRT: Do Not Ignore The Risk Of Recession

USRT invests in U.S. REITs, historically underperforming in economic recessions and sensitive to rate changes.

Jobs Data Dilemma

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.

Eyes On The ECB

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.

Higher insurance premiums reduced FFO margins by nearly 100 basis points, impacting FFO/share growth.
