New York Fed President Williams’ September 29 remarks about potential year-end rate hikes and Dallas Fed Logan’s October 2 call for at least 50 basis points of additional tightening intensified pressure on REIT valuations. While no product-specific developments emerged, the ETF’s flows mirrored broader market reactions to rising Treasury yields and mortgage application declines.
