A period of uncertainty last week in the reit sector, with almost parity of the US$ negatively effecting the property portfolio valutions for reit's with U.S. holdings on the Australian balance sheets. Not good for share values in reporting season. Further additional impact on the sector with the sale by stockland group of their 238 million gpt shares at $2.75per share. The insto's taking up the offer had to raise funds somewhere and the volume of share sales across the reit sector spiked, pushing prices down.
CPA tested a new low but I would expect it to bounce from here, however with the new lower low, there could be a corresponding new lower high. The recent trend is a downward channel.
