U.S. equity markets advanced for a second week while benchmark interest rates retreated from five-month highs after a critical slate of employment data showed a long-awaited cooldown in hiring trends.

After covering the Winners of REIT Earnings Season last week, Part 2 of our Earnings Recap focuses on the worst-performing property sectors and common threads shared by these laggards. While there were no major "bombshells" this earnings season, there were pockets of relative weakness seen in the interest-rate-sensitive property sectors - net lease and office - along with goods-oriented sectors. Surging interest expense - not property-level fundamentals - was again the culprit behind much of this pain, underscoring the continued challenges facing more highly leveraged private real estate portfolios.
