A-REIT Sector: Weekending Friday 30 June 2017
There were some interesting factors impacting on the Australian Share Market this last week:
President Donald;
Ex Prime Minister Tony;
Possible interest rate rises in Europe (going from negative to zero?) and further interest rate rises in the U.S.;
A strengthening Australian Dollar;
A glut of oil on international markets pushing down the price of oil;
Most A-REIT's went ex-div on 29 June 2017; and
The speculation of a collapse in Australian Residential Property prices continues to grab media headlines.
A-REIT Sector share prices fell a further 4.9% to a six month low and may get lower. Meanwhile yields are even more attractive, price/earnings ratios are good and returns are way better than bank interest rates. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that fund managers did their usual trick in churning over stocks at the end of the quarter/fiscal year to generate fees and earn their bonuses. it will be interesting to see what gets snapped up as bargains in the next month. Good luck.

Comments:
1. The shares listed in the tables above make up the XPJ A-REIT Property Sector.
2. The "Capital" figures in the above tables are "market capital" based on the "issued shares" as distinct from "free float capital". The "issued shares", updated as at 17 March 2017, can change from day to day due to active share buy-back programs and other factors.
3. The "Earnings", "Distribution" and "NTA" figures have also been updated as at 17 March 2017. "NTA" figures are subject to change every time there is a property re-valuation and the table may be out by a few cents from time to time, which effects the "Premium to NTA" also.
4. Inclusion of any share details in the above tables is not an endorsement of that share as a viable investment or possible trade.
