US equity markets reached new highs this week as weaker labor market data and a sharp drop in oil prices reduced concerns about aggressive Federal Reserve rate hikes. Payrolls declined by 23,000, wage growth slowed to its lowest since 2021, and oil prices fell 9% amid easing geopolitical tensions. This combination eased pressure on interest rates, boosting the S&P 500 by 3.5%. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) showed mixed performance, with strong earnings but some sector sell-offs, while overall REIT earnings outlook improved with many raising full-year guidance. Investors are watching for how these trends might influence future Fed policies and market stability.
