Rising Interest Rates Spur Outflows From Real Estate ETF (IYR, $78.70)
Investors are fleeing a major U.S. real-estate fund, as recent interest rate increases are apparently being viewed as potential headwinds for housing demand/real estate business.
The $3.8 billion iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF experienced $530 million outflows between Monday and Wednesday. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yields climbed to around 3.2% on Wednesday (its highest level since 2011), and 30-year bonds and 2-year notes posted record high yields as well. The situation is reminiscent of last October, when 10-year Treasury yields surged more than 30 basis points in four weeks, leading to sell-offs in the ETF.
