CM REITs are companies that own mortgages of multi-family residential homes as well as commercial real estate loans. Cell phone data Litt bought to research a REIT run by Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE.N), showed that buildings which that were supposed to be almost fully occupied were only half full.

Companies AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc FollowJuly 23 (Reuters) - AMC Entertainment's (AMC.N) chief executive officer on Sunday said the company filed a revised petition for a stock conversion plan that would allow the company to issue more shares. Aaron also mentioned that in a March 14 special election a majority of the AMC common shareholders and preferred shareholders supported his views on the stock conversion. Delaware Vice Chancellor Morgan Zurn on Friday denied approval as the deal would also settle potential claims by preferred shareholders who were not represented in the lawsuit. The company was sued in February for allegedly rigging a shareholder vote that would allow AMC to convert preferred stock to common stock and issue hundreds of millions of new shares. The settlement's backers want Zurn to weigh the new version of the deal without seeking additional comment from AMC shareholders, according to a Bloomberg news report.

De-dollarization risks aren't priced in despite rising US dysfunction and tension with China, JPMorgan said. Investors should go underweight on the dollar, as well as US markets, bonds, and financial equities, analysts said. But that also points to the risks that are not yet reflected in financial markets. Meanwhile, economic and political instability within the US will also factor into the credibility of the dollar, JPMorgan added. While "rapid and deep" de-dollarization is unlikely in the next decade, investors should expect partial de-dollarization, with the yuan rising among Chinese partners, strategists predicted.
