Investors eager to call the top in US bond yields are increasingly frustrated with US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s unwillingness to give hints of a pause or slowing of rate hikes. But why would he, given the Fed’s desire to keep financial conditions tight to slow demand and bring inflation down? So far, labour markets remain robust, and there is scant evidence of inflation rolling over, so the aggressive tightening of monetary policy is probably still sensible.

Join us as we share insights into the Asia ex Japan REITs sector, and find out if REITs are indeed down, but not out. You will also have the chance to ask questions in our Q&A session.
