U.S. apartment rents post their first July-September decline since 2009, testing the resilience of major REITs ahead of third-quarter earnings.

U.S. equity markets rallied to fresh record-highs this past week as investors leaned into rate cut expectations following a wave of soft employment data and a Federal Government shutdown. For the fourth time since 1995, the federal government entered a partial "shutdown" after the U.S. Senate failed to reach the 60-vote threshold required for passage of appropriations. Defering to experience from prior shutdowns in 2013 (16 days) and in 2018 (35 days), markets largely shrugged off the latest Congressional impasse, with investors still anticipating a timely resolution.

The Fed just cut rates. I share a portfolio of 3-13% yielding investments that are well-positioned for the expected impacts of Fed rate cuts. I also share what I am avoiding right now.

Welcome to BofA's Global Real Estate Conference.

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.

EQR, AVB and CPT deliver steady updates, showing resilience even as U.S. apartment rents slip and occupancy eases.
