Surging oil prices and hotter inflation reports reignited rate-hike concerns, sending Treasury yields to one-year highs as the Iran conflict remained stalemated despite the highly anticipated Trump-Xi summit.

iShares Global REIT ETF (REET) offers a significantly lower expense ratio than FlexShares Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund (GQRE). GQRE provides a higher trailing-12-month distribution yield but has experienced a deeper maximum drawdown over the last five years.

U.S. equity markets advanced for a fifth straight week - their longest winning streak since 2024 - as strong earnings, resilient data, and hopes for lasting Iran peace fueled optimism. Investors looked through another oil-price surge and inflationary pressure, focusing instead on corporate resilience and economic strength despite a complex macro backdrop shaped by geopolitical and policy uncertainty. The Fed held rates steady in an unusually fractured 8-4 vote, while Powell's plan to remain on the Board broke precedent and raised politically charged succession questions.

GQRE costs nearly twice as much as RWR but offers a higher dividend yield and broader global exposure. RWR has delivered a stronger five-year total return with a smaller drawdown than GQRE.
