Extended read
The decline in headline inflation to 3.5% provides the Federal Reserve with more breathing room, potentially capping the current hiking cycle. For rate-sensitive sectors like Real Estate, this shift is critical for both valuation (lower discount rates) and cost of debt. Realty Income, with its 31-year history of dividend growth, is being positioned by analysts as a core 'bond-proxy' play for investors looking to lock in yields before a potential easing cycle begins.
