Weakness centered on Farmland, Commercial Mortgage, Lab Space, and Self-Storage REITs, where delayed troughs, credit provisions, book-value pressure, weak rents, and refinancing constraints persisted. Mortgage Stress Hasn't Fully Cleared: Commercial mortgage REITs still faced multifamily bridge-loan and office credit stress, while residential mortgage REITs saw book values pressured by rate volatility and uneven dividend-coverage.

REITs have extended their year-to-date outperformance despite the recent jump in interest rates, as better earnings results and improving property-level trends helped offset renewed macro pressure. Upside standouts included Hotel, Senior Housing, Data Center, Billboard, Cold Storage, Net Lease, and Retail REITs. Residential REITs saw improving rent growth trends as supply growth finally eases.
