Slacking Into A Rate Cut
U.S. equity markets pushed higher this past week - while short-term benchmark interest rates plunged to three-year lows - after employment data provided decisive evidence of cooling labor markets. Viewed by markets as a "Goldilocks" set of reports, the reports showed slowing - but still positive - job growth in August alongside consistent evidence of cooling wage pressures and emerging slack. A notable milestone after several years of ultra-tight labor markets, the number of job seekers surpassed the number of available job openings for the first time since April 2021.

M&A Is Heating Back Up In REITs
M&A activity in REITs is accelerating due to deep discounts to NAV, strong property fundamentals, and abundant capital from PE and large REITs. High-performing, discounted REITs are prime buyout targets, especially in industrial, shopping center, and multifamily sectors where transaction volumes are rising. To capture buyout upside, I focus on large NAV discounts, high-quality properties, and special situations offering synergy or enhanced value to buyers.

Powell Pivot Sparks REIT Rebound
U.S. equity markets notched another series of record highs this week, surging into the weekend after surprisingly dovish commentary from Federal Reserve Chair Powell, who hinted at imminent rate cuts. Powell used his final Jackson Hole speech as Fed Chair to deliver a clear policy pivot, an unexpected reversal after months of insistence that tariff-related inflation warranted a hawkish framework. Markets were equally relieved by the policy-focused nature of Powell's speech amid speculation that the address may be used instead as a potential defiant sermon on central bank independence.
