OCBC upgrades the S-REIT sector to Overweight from Neutral; says going into 2011, “the persistently low interest rate environment is expected to stimulate the property market and continue to drive prices higher.”
Coupled with hot capital inflows pouring into Asia, says it’s likely that spot rental rates and asset prices will continue to be inflated. “At the same time, many REIT managers are capitalizing on the recovery cycle for further asset enhancement initiatives and acquisitions.”
