U.S. markets remained unsettled as cracks emerged in the AI investment boom, while another oil-price surge complicated the inflation outlook ahead of Wednesday's Fed decision. Treasury yields fell for a third straight week as AI-related risk-off flows strengthened, with markets now assigning just 10% odds of an October hike despite still-elevated energy prices. REITs rallied for a third-straight week as earnings opened on an encouraging note: 15 REITs raised full-year FFO guidance, reinforcing the view that fundamentals remain healthier than recent price action.

Rate Shock: REITs enter earnings season on their back foot amid a renewed surge in long-term rates, facing a materially different cost-of-capital and financing environment than just three months ago. The rate surge is again stressing highly leveraged borrowers, particularly across private markets. Public REITs are better positioned, but remain exposed through refinancing, tenant credit, and equity valuations. Higher rates have brought an important silver lining: years of expensive capital are finally curbing construction, with shrinking pipelines beginning to support occupancy, rents, and landlord pricing power.
