REIT share prices declined last week, with a total return of negative 3.1% on the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index, as financial markets reacted to the Federal Reserve press release and “dots plot” that indicated most policymakers anticipate modest increases in interest rates in 2023. Broader markets also declined, with the Russell 1000 posting a return of negative 1.8%.
