Beyond today's performance, investors remain focused on secular demand drivers—cloud/AI-related data center leasing and e-commerce-fueled industrial fundamentals—while rate sensitivity continues to shape sentiment for mortgage and residential REITs. Selective capital deployment and portfolio-level fundamentals will likely determine near-term winners.
