Net-lease REITs remain resilient amid economic uncertainty, with stable interest rates supporting increased investment activity and positive guidance across the sector. Monetary policy (interest rates), not fiscal policy (tariffs), is the key driver for net-lease REIT performance, supporting a bullish outlook for the sector. Investment spread and total return analysis highlight VICI, First Industrial, Agree Realty, and Realty Income as top performers, though First Industrial and VICI have caveats this quarter.

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.

Fed Looms Over Mid-Summer Rally

U.S. equity markets rallied to fresh record-highs this week as investors cheered upbeat corporate earnings results and several major trade deals ahead of a frenetic week of potentially narrative-shifting catalysts. Months of tariff bemoaning and general pessimism have surrendered of late to some mid-summer optimism, but a barrage of obstacles loom, including a Fed that is ever-eager to play spoiler. Notching record-highs in four of the past five weeks, the S&P 500 rallied another 1.5% this week, advancing in all five trading sessions.
