REITs face renewed long-term rate shock this earnings season, according to market commentary, with interest rate levels presenting a key watch point for property valuations and cost of capital across subsectors. One analysis noted that the bond market could upend major infrastructure trades if long-term yields move above a specific threshold, with implications for companies building data center and digital infrastructure capacity on borrowed capital.
