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.

Highwoods Properties: Occupancy Rates Rising, Dampening Dividend Yield Appeal
Highwoods Properties' Sunbelt office focus faces headwinds as occupancy rates decline and core markets like Raleigh and Atlanta see rising vacancies. Despite a 7% dividend yield and strong near-term coverage, falling occupancy, FFO, and free cash flow raise concerns for long-term investors. Debt maturities are manageable through 2025, but refinancing risk grows in 2027-2028 amid higher rates and possible continued occupancy losses.

Behind The (Revised) Curve
U.S. equity markets fell sharply this week, while benchmark interest rates retreated to three-month lows, after revised employment data showed that job growth was far weaker than initially reported. The BLS payrolls report showed softer-than-expected hiring in July and the steepest two-month downward revisions to jobs growth since 2020, raising concern that the Fed may be "behind the curve." The downward revisions came days after Fed Chair Powell used it as the primary evidence for "solid" labor markets, which justified the FOMC's decision to keep rates in "restrictive" territory.
