In this article, I describe two indicators, which imply elevated risks for REITs. In my view, the risks are high for REITs to decline.

The outcome sparked powerful moves across global financial markets as investors priced in a combination of domestic-focused and "pro-growth" economic policies but also reflected concern over...
