The 200D SMA is reversed, suggesting improved market sentiment. There is now a new resistance line of about 728 and a breakout above 728 could pave the way finally to a level above previously attained in July 2023. The 50D SMA and the 200D SMA provide immediate support. Stronger support remains at 620, tested multiple times in 2024–2025. But for now, the REIT index is bullish. - Short-term direction: **Up** - Medium-term direction: **Up** - Long-term direction: **Up** - Immediate Support: 20D SMA, 50D SMA - Immediate Resistance: 728 (line)   ![chart-4](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/chart-4.png?width=990&height=528&name=chart-4.png) FTSE REIT Index Chart (2 years) Previous chart on FTSE ST REIT index can be found in the last post: [Singapore REIT Fundamental Comparison Table](https://reitsavvy.com/insights/singapore-reits-monthly-update-21-sep-2025) on September 21st, 2025.   **Fundamental Analysis of 39 Singapore REITs** --- The following is the compilation of 39 Singapore REITs with colour-coding of the Distribution Yield, Gearing Ratio and Price to NAV Ratio. - The Financial Ratios are based on past data and these are lagging indicators. - All REITshave the latest Q2 2025 values, except NTT DC REIT and Centurion Accommodation REIT where their values are based on their IPO Prospectuses. - I have introduced weighted average (weighted by market cap) to the financial ratios, in addition to the existing simple average ratios. This is another perspective where smaller market cap REITs do not disproportionately affect the average ratios. As of May 2025, I have removed EC World REIT from these calculations.  - I have included Centurion Accommodation REIT in this latest update, using values from the IPO Prospectus.

This reflects improving sentiment, supported by easing bond yields. The **US 10Y Treasury yield** has moderated to around **4.02%,** while the **Singapore 10Y yield** has declined to **1.75%**, the lowest level in over 3.5 years. Falling risk-free rates have been a key driver of the rebound in S-REIT prices, though this has also caused average REIT yields to compress. The **simple average yield spread** versus the Singapore 10Y widened to **3.91%**, but the **market-cap weighted spread** remained at **3.86%**. This difference reflects that larger-cap REITs experienced greater yield compression compared to smaller its peers.     ![govbond-2](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/govbond-2.png?width=848&height=441&name=govbond-2.png) US 10 Year Risk Free Rate   Historically, the S-REIT sector has shown a strong inverse correlation with the US 10Y yield. With both US and Singapore government yields trending down in recent months, the S-REIT index has staged a meaningful recovery. The key question now is whether this momentum can be sustained as we move into Q4 2025. Fundamentally, the S-REIT sector is trading at a 15% discount (slightly above fair value if using weighted average) to its fair value, with an average trailing twelve-month (TTM) yield of 5.49**%.** Yield has come down but this is the natural result if the REIT index increases. According to the current Fed Fund Rate projections from the CME Group, the market expects a further **25 basis point cut by Q4 2025, in a week's time.** The cut in interest rate will help to boost the DPU of the REITs which have shorter debt maturity profile and higher percentage of floating rate. However, the impact will only be reflected in the financial statement probably in Q3 or Q4 2025.    ![table-3](https://reitsavvy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/table-3.png?width=910&height=722&name=table-3.png)     [Kenny Loh](https://engage.fa.com.sg/author/kennyloh/) is a distinguished Wealth Advisory Director with a specialization in holistic investment planning and estate management.
