More information from Reit managers could comfort investors as inflation, interest rates surge

SURGING inflation and interest rate hikes are likely to be at the top of the minds of investors in Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (S-Reits), as earnings season rolls in.

After all, the European Central Bank (ECB) late last week hiked interest rates for the first time in over a decade, while the US Federal Reserve is expected to increase rates again later this week.

A Reuters poll of economists pointed to the likelihood of a 75 basis point (bps) hike by the US Fed.
