"Nervous?"

From Bloomberg
  • "US stocks are set to extend a retreat with traders nervous about taking on more risk as House lawmakers debate tax cuts at the center of the Trump administration’s policy agenda. Treasuries and the dollar also fell. 
  • S&P 500 futures slid 0.7% alongside a retreat in European shares. Oil climbed about 0.9% on a report that Israel could be gearing up for a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Yields on 30-year Treasuries rose further above the 5% mark. The greenback lost ground against all major currencies.
  • Republicans negotiated through the night on Wednesday over a bill that’s expected to include compromises on the state and local tax deduction and spending cuts. While investors have rushed back into stocks on hopes that the US is easing off its tariff threats, there are questions about whether gains can be sustained."

In REIT News
  • RHP upsized and priced the private placement of $625 million of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2033 and intends to use the net proceeds to fund a portion of the approximately $865 million purchase price for the previously announced pending acquisition of the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa plus S&P raised its issuer credit rating and issue-level ratings on its debt to “BB-“ from “B+” with a stable outlook
