## U.S. equity markets mixed
U.S. equity markets were mixed this past week as softer jobs data and cooler-than-expected inflation eased near-term Fed tightening fears.
## September jobs growth weak
The critical BLS payrolls report showed September job growth of 29k - well short of expectations.
## Wage growth slowed
wage growth slowed to its weakest pace since 2021.
## Core PCE inflation down
core pce - the fed's preferred inflation gauge - also surprised to the downside, helped in part by benchmark and methodology revisions that lowered previously reported inflation.
## REITs longest losing streak
reits fell for a seventh straight week, their longest losing streak on record.
## Mortgage REITs worst week
mortgage reits suffered their worst week in three years amid surging rate volatility.
## REITs M&A activity
reits remained active on the m&a-front this week, led by brixmor’s $2.3b slate grocery deal, continued healthcare reit expansion into senior housing, and a handful of deals across the retail, hotel, and residential sectors.
## Key takeaway

REITs dropped for a seventh straight week, their longest losing streak on record, amid surging rate volatility.
