Major equity benchmarks rebounded sharply, with the S&P 500 gaining 3.4% and the Nasdaq 100 rising 4.0%, while real estate stocks outperformed as falling Treasury yields boosted rate-sensitive sectors. Treasury yields declined despite surging oil prices, breaking their recent correlation with crude, as investors weighed solid U.S. employment data against risks that higher energy costs could slow growth abroad.

Alexandria Real Estate still faces severe headwinds as life science real estate demand remains weak and development oversupply persists. ARE's aggressive development pipeline and capital commitments have led to declining occupancy, a shrinking portfolio, and a nearly 30% projected FFO per share drop year-over-year.
