REIT stocks stretch win streak to another record as bond yields fall
Shares of real estate investment trusts rallied again Friday, as another drop in Treasury yields helped spark a broad rally in the high-yielding sector. The SPDR Real Estate Select Sector ETF rose 0.8%, with 25 of 31 equity components gaining ground. The ETF (XLRE) was on track for a 7th-straight gain, and 5th-straight record close. The win streak would be the longest since the 7-day up stretch ending Jan. 31, 2019. The REIT sector is viewed by many as a bond proxy, given its relatively stable equity characteristics and high dividend yield. The XLRE's dividend yield is 2.84%, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was 1.581%, down 3.6 basis points from Thursday. The 10-year yield has lost 33.8 basis points since the end of 2019, and was approaching the 3-year low of 1.459% hit on Sept. 4, 2019. Meanwhile, the implied yield on the S&P 500 was 1.79%. Among the XLRE's biggest gainers Friday, shares of Digital Realty Trust Inc. rose 3.1%, Public Storage advanced 1.8% and Extra Space Storage Inc. tacked on 1.7%.

U.S. retailers get off to a sluggish start in 2020 — clothing stores the biggest losers

U.S. business inventories inch up 0.1% in December
Business inventories in the U.S. rose a slight 0.1% in December after a 0.2% decline in the prior month, the Commerce Department said Friday. The gain was in line with Wall Street expectations. Sales slumped 0.1% in the month. Retailer sales were flat. The ratio of inventories to sales, meanwhile, inched up to 1.40 in December from 1.39 in the prior month. That's how many months it would take to sell all the inventory on hand. One year ago, the inventory-to-sales ratio was 1.39. A smaller gain in inventories in the fourth-quarter relative to the July-September period subtracted 1.1 percentage points from GDP growth.
