THE current correction in the prices of Singapore Reits (S-Reits) offers a buying opportunity given the widest spread against the yield of government bonds among the global Reit sector, RHB Research said in a report on Monday.

This comes as S-Reit prices have corrected by 3 per cent since the US elections amid a global shift in demand away from low-risk yield instruments. The correction comes amid expectations that a Donald Trump presidency would result in a pro-growth inflationary environment in the US.
