# Weekly Recap | VNQ.US +1.01%, outperforming the S&P 500

## The Week

VNQ.US gained 1.01% on the week, closing at $92.69, while the S&P 500 fell 0.47%, placing the ETF about 1.48 percentage points ahead of the benchmark. The five sessions traced out a choppy climb: Monday dipped to $90.55, then prices recovered through midweek, gave back a little ground on Wednesday, and pushed higher into Friday, touching an intraday high of $93.81 before settling near the top of the range. The 20-day moving average at $90.65 provided support, and the weekly close sits above that level. Full-week amplitude was 3.56%, with average daily volume of 4.02m shares, roughly 16% above the 60-day median.

## Sector News

The main macro thread for real estate this week was rate and valuation pressure. Aberdeen warned on Thursday that rising bond yields are weighing on real estate valuations, a message that landed alongside renewed debate over whether the Fed might need to hike again. On the other side, jobless claims hovering near 60-year lows and an economy described as ‘low-hire, low-fire’ offered some demand-side support for commercial property. At the same time, money market funds hit a record $7.94 trillion, a sign that investors are still weighing cash against risk assets, which continues to frame the appeal of REITs.

## The Week Ahead

The coming week turns to housing and inflation data. Tuesday brings FHFA house prices, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city index and new home sales, with the annualised sales pace forecast at 650k versus a prior 684k. These numbers will test how residential property is absorbing higher rates. Durable goods orders and consumer confidence also arrive the same day, with the former expected at 1.5% against a prior -0.1%, adding to the growth picture. The Dallas Fed manufacturing index on Monday and the Richmond Fed composite on Tuesday round out the regional readings.

## In Short

VNQ.US finished the week higher against a softer tape, reclaiming its 20-day moving average while the broader market pulled back. On valuation, the ETF trades at about 1.59x book with a dividend yield near 3.67%, while trailing earnings remain negative, leaving the fund sensitive to the rate path. In the latest session, large-lot money showed a net inflow direction, while mid- and small-lot flows were more mixed, offering no clean incremental signal. The follow-through now hinges on whether the housing and consumer-confidence prints can ease the rate-driven pressure on valuations, and whether the pickup in volume holds.
