BEIJING — China said Monday that second-quarter gross domestic product grew by 6.3% from a year ago, missing expectations. The unemployment rate among young people ages 16 to 24 was 21.3% in June, a new record. The 6.3% GDP print for the second quarter marked a 0.8% pace of growth from the first quarter, slower than the 2.2% quarter-on-quarter pace recorded in the first three months of the year. Analysts polled by Reuters had predicted a 7.3% increase in the second quarter GDP. When asked about the outlook for the second half, spokesperson Fu said he expected real estate investment would remain low for the near future.

Charter Hall did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. On its website Charter Hall said the fund would "only sell assets for prices that reflect fair value and given the lower sales volumes in the office investment markets, sales have proved challenging". Another REIT and Australia's largest office landlord Dexus (DXS.AX) last month sold a premium downtown Sydney office block for a 17% discount on a valuation made six months earlier. The Australian and U.S. REIT benchmark indexes are down roughly a fifth since highs at the end of 2021. But unlisted fund valuations have declined more slowly, creating an incentive for investors to pull money out while a chunky premium over listed equivalents remains, according to fund managers with investments in REITs.

SummaryCompanies FTSE 100 flat, FTSE 250 off 0.4%July 10 (Reuters) - UK's FTSE 100 was subdued on Monday, as gains in energy firms outpaced losses in mining stocks, after weak Chinese economic data rekindled slowing demand concerns, while real estate stocks slumped on a bearish call from HSBC. By 0718 GMT, the blue-chip FTSE 100 (.FTSE) was flat, while the more domestically-focussed FTSE 250 midcap index (.FTMC) fell 0.4%. Industrial metal miners (.FTNMX551020) lost 0.8%, tracking a fall in most base metal prices. A bearish note from HSBC on UK real estate weighed on the sector, pushing down the real estate investment trusts (REITs) (.FTNMX351020) 1.2% and real estate (.FTUB3510) 1.1%. Heavyweight energy stocks (.FTNMX601010) added 0.8%.

While that data took the edge off the red-hot private-sector jobs readout the previous day, it left a bruised bond market still wary of further Federal Reserve interest rate rises and praying disinflation may stay its hand after one more hike later this month. Although Treasury bond volatility (.MOVE) backed off six-week highs on Friday, its weekly rise was the biggest since the wild swings around the banking stress in March. Stock futures were in the red again ahead of Monday's open despite gains in Chinese and European bourses. British markets - where the UK government bond market selloff last week had been worse than in Treasuries - remained edgy.

☆ The pain is just starting for commercial real estate - and plunging prices could reignite the banking crisis and choke the US economy, Columbia professor says
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-04 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

A Columbia professor has issued a bleak outlook for commercial real estate in the US. Office values are plunging and threaten to cause an "urban doom loop," Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh said. If cities become more expensive and less appealing, people are likely to move out, cutting real estate values even more and causing a downward spiral, he said. Pension funds, real estate investment trusts (REITS), and other entities have invested significant sums in CRE, and the office segment specifically. "I do worry that there is potential for a spillover here, that we haven't seen the end of the banking crisis yet," Van Nieuwerburgh said.

SL Green announced on Monday that it had sold the building at 245 Park Avenue to a U.S. subsidiary of Japanese real estate developer Mori Trust Co Ltd at a $2 billion valuation, sending its stock up nearly 20%. The transaction is a "significant milestone" for SL Green given that it represents nearly half of the planned asset sales for 2023 and more than covers the company's share of redevelopment costs, said BTIG analysts, who reiterated their "buy" rating. Analysts at Scotiabank, who rate SLG a "sector underperform", hiked their price target for the company's shares, calling the transaction "positive." SL Green's stock jumped 11% on Tuesday to a high of $31.35 per share. SL Green took control of 245 Park Avenue last year after lenders seized the building from HNA Group.

The rapidly aging population is expected to be a boon for senior housing.

SL Green Realty said it sold the building at 245 Park Avenue, which has 1.8 million-square-foot of office space, to a U.S. affiliate of Japanese real estate developer Mori Trust Co Ltd. Its sale represents a slight discount to the $2.21 billion that China's HNA Group paid to acquire the building in 2017 when New York City's commercial real estate market was at its peak. SL Green took control of 245 Park Avenue last year after lenders seized the building from HNA Group. Jesse Keenan, sustainable real estate professor at Tulane University, said the transaction is a speculative investment that suggests the deep downturn in the New York commercial real estate market may have bottomed out. SL Green Realty was the biggest gainer among listed REITs, leading its peers Vornado Realty Trust (VNO.N), Office Properties Income Trust (OPI.O), and Boston Properties Inc (BXP.N).

NEW YORK, June 26 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The U.S. commercial real estate industry is mired in gloom, but some pockets are still sunny. The portfolio includes 14 million square feet of industrial properties in cities like Atlanta, Phoenix and Dallas, and the deal is premised in part on rising rents. According to the two companies, the net operating income generated by the warehouses is 4% of the acquisition price. Meanwhile, listed real estate investment trusts which own industrial warehouses trade at a narrowing discount to net asset value, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. In a gloomy sector, so-called big boxes are a bright spot.

☆ Here’s where advisors are hunting for yield and portfolio diversification, Bank of America finds

Investors' demand for alternative investments is cooling, but financial advisors anticipate adding these assets over the long term to boost diversification, a Bank of America survey of financial advisors found. Last week, the firm conducted its quarterly survey of financial advisors and received responses from 159 individuals. In the world of income, just under half of advisors are rotating client deposits into higher-yielding money market funds, while about 34% are raising cash and liquidity due to market uncertainty, Bank of America found. Indeed, retail money market fund assets grew to $1.99 trillion during the week ended June 21, according to the Investment Company Institute . Bank of America predicts that when volatility normalizes, advisors will reduce the amount of cash they're squirreling away for clients, but they will continue to sort into higher-yielding liquid products – like these money market funds.

June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. wireless carrier AT&T (T.N) said on Friday it would close its flagship store in downtown San Francisco, deepening the real estate pain in the once-booming tech hub that has been particularly hard hit by the pandemic. Stores in San Francisco have been closing their doors as they try to cut down on real estate space in the face of declining customer visits, occupancy and sales. Earlier this week, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW.PA) said it would transfer its Westfield San Francisco shopping mall to lenders. Nordstrom (JWN.N) said last month it was going to give up its downtown store in the mall. Real estate investment trust Park Hotels & Resorts (PK.N) had also said last week it ceased making payments toward a $725 million mortgage linked to its Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 hotels.

☆ China eyes support for consumer, private sectors as growth falters

China's cabinet is soliciting proposals from economists and advisers, policy insiders told Reuters, with big changes needing approval from top party leaders, and investors now looking to an expected Politburo meeting in July for clues on policy direction. However, the modest borrowing cost cuts - limited by concerns over banks' profitability and currency stability - will not be enough to boost economic activity, policy insiders said. Authorities are also considering support for the ailing property sector after earlier measures failed to gain traction, including easing credit conditions and home buying curbs in some areas, policy insiders. Economists blame the fading recovery on the "scarring effects" caused by COVID and regulatory curbs on property and tech sectors, which have hit household and private sector spending. Supporting depressed private-sector firms, which account for 60% of economic output and 80% of urban employment, will be essential to lift incomes, jobs and consumption, policy insiders and analysts said.

A surge in demand for artificial intelligence at Oracle should have a positive effect on Digital Realty Trust , Deutsche Bank said. Analyst Matt Niknam pointed to commentary from Oracle CEO Safra Catz around "exploding AI demand" and "unprecedented" demand for the company's cloud services. Niknam has a $112 price target on Digital Realty, which implies shares could rally about 8% from Tuesday's close. As a real estate investment trust, Digital Realty also pays a dividend yield of about 4.6%. Demand is picking up for AI offerings from Digital Realty despite the company not doing much related leasing activity to date, Niknam said.

☆ Elon Musk's decision to not pay rent on Twitter's offices is adding to commercial mortgage headaches at Goldman Sachs
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Elon Musk's decision not to pay Twitter's rent is causing pain for Goldman Sach's commercial real estate portfolio, the FT reported. Goldman was part of a group that originated a $1.7 billion loan to Columbia Property, the owner of several of Twitter's offices. That dwarfs the rise of commercial real estate delinquencies seen across the entire US banking industry, with bad commercial real estate loans rising just 30% nationwide, notching $12 billion over the first quarter. But the jump in Goldman Sach's bad commercial property loans appears partly attributable to Twitter, which has not paid rent on its offices since November of last year. It owed $136,260 on its office spaces as of December 2022, Columbia Property said in its suit.
