Technical Scrutiny: Digital Realty Trust, CommonWealth REIT, Boston Properties, Highwoods Properties, and Piedmont Office

LONDON, June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The U.S. housing market began a strong recovery last year driven by record low mortgage rates and pent-up demand. Although the commercial real estate market also showed signs of improvement last year, the recovery was not as strong as the one seen in the housing market. However, the outlook for the commercial real estate market has improved significantly since the start of this year due to an improvement in the overall economic environment. This is expected to benefit REITs focusing on office space. On Tuesday, June 18, 2013, shares in commercial REITs ended on a mixed note even as the broader market posted gains. The major movers included Digital Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: DLR), CommonWealth REIT (NYSE: CWH), Boston Properties Inc. (NYSE: BXP), Highwoods Properties Inc (NYSE: HIW), and Piedmont Office Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: PDM). AAAResearchReports.com tracked DLR, CWH, BXP, HIW, and PDM.
