Singapore REITs Have Likely Priced in Most Rate Increase Risks -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-14

0609 GMT - Singapore real-estate investment trusts have likely priced in the majority of rate-hike risks ahead, says Macquarie Capital's Rachel Tan in a note. The outlook for interest rates worldwide has become uncertain after the onset of the Iran conflict, she says. The Singapore REIT sector has fallen around 11% since the start of the conflict, underperforming the benchmark Straits Times Index, she adds. Despite this, the sector is trading around 6% yield, comparable with its yield during the previous U.S. rate hike cycle in 2022-2023. The analyst expects the domestic earnings season to focus on interest rates, utility costs and the Iran conflict's potential drag. Macquarie Capital's top defensive picks are CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Parkway Life REIT. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
