The S&P real estate sector jumped 5.27% over the week – the best performer among S&P sectors for the fourth time in seven weeks - in the wake of dovish comments from the Fed. The US central bank has pivoted from its previously restrictive monetary policy, with Chair Jerome Powell now indicating rate cuts are likely in 2024.
As the real estate sector is highly sensitive to interest rate changes, this news was favorably received, resulting in an upswing in real estate stocks. The impact on sector indices was equally noticeable, with the FT Wilshire 4500 Real Estate Index experiencing a weekly gain of 6.32%.
Meanwhile, the Real Estate ETF segment surged 5.58%. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF - boasting $33 billion worth of assets under management - recorded an impressive climb of 5.69%. Similarly, the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund soared by 5.59% over the week.
