With talks of interest rates possibly heading south, REITs are starting to look pretty good again. Lower rates mean cheaper borrowing costs for these guys, which can boost their profits and those sweet dividend payouts. Plus, property values tend to rise when rates drop, so that's another potential win. Data center REITs are especially hot right now. The cloud ain't going anywhere, and these guys own the buildings that make it all happen. It's a pretty solid long-term play, especially if rates start to cool down.

STI has a relatively small market capital so it is very susceptible to external fund flows and market manipulation.

The real estate market in the U.S. tends to be more active in the spring and summer.
