Digital Realty Trust
About: Digital Realty owns and operates over 300 data centers worldwide. It has nearly 40 million rentable square feet across five continents. Digital's offerings range from retail co-location, where an enterprise may rent a single cabinet and rely on Digital to provide all the accommodations, to "cold shells," where hyperscale cloud service providers can simply rent much, or all, of a barren, power-connected building. In recent years, Digital Realty has de-emphasized cold shells and now primarily provides higher-level service to tenants, which outsource their related IT needs to Digital. The company operates as a real estate investment trust.

The Bulls Are Back
U.S. equity markets surged to fresh record-highs as investors cheered a confluence of positive headlines: a temporary ceasefire in the Middle East, productive trade talks, and progress on tax cuts. Oil prices tumbled after the U.S. destroyed a trio of Iranian nuclear facilities in a formidable and decisive show of force, eliciting a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Traders priced in additional rate cuts as tumbling oil prices and economic data that remains devoid of meaningful inflation prompted dovish dissents from several Fed officials.

Fed Ditches 'Data Dependent'
U.S. equity markets posted a second-straight week of declines after the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated that it remains in "no rush" to ease its "modestly restrictive" policy stance. Raising questions on whether the Fed can continue to claim itself "data dependent," Fed Chair Powell dismissed recent economic data while doubling-down on forecasts of "meaningful" tariff-driven inflation. Benchmark interest rates ticked lower this week as traders digested the Federal Reserve's rate decision alongside a generally downbeat slate of economic data and heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
