deberarr U.S. stocks closed mixed on Tuesday as the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) and the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) advanced to end in the green after reports that Pakistan is mediating a two-week ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran. The benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) ended +0.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) closed +0.1%, and the blue-chip Dow ( DJI ) finished -0.2%. Over in the bond market, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) was 4 basis points lower at 4.30%, while the 2-year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) dropped 5 basis points to 3.81%. Crude oil futures ( CL1:COM ) were slightly lower at $111, while Brent ( CO1:COM ) was at $105 per barrel. Now, here are three things to focus on: President Donald Trump gave the Iranian regime a deadline of 8 p.m. to accept U.S. conditions and open the Strait of Hormuz, threatening that the country could be “taken out in one night” if the deadline is not met. In another Truth Social post, Trump also threatened the destruction “of a whole civilization” if Tehran does not agree to U.S. terms. Investors will monitor how these geopolitical developments will affect Wednesday’s stock market. Investors will receive the Federal Reserve’s minutes from its last meeting, where interest rates were held unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%. The Fed is expected to emphasize its cautious "higher-for-longer" stance on rates, as Wall Street prices in little to no interest rate cuts this year. When it comes to second-quarter earnings, notable companies expected to report include Delta Air Lines ( DAL ), Constellation Brands ( STZ ), Applied Digital ( APLD ), PriceSmart ( PSMT ), NovaBridge Biosciences ( NBP ), and Resources Connection ( RGP ), among others.

Nicolae Popescu/iStock via Getty Images It pays to have hard assets in a volatile market, especially when said assets generate a steady stream of income and are trading with a margin of safety. While big names in the healthcare space like Welltower ( WELL ) and Ventas ( VTR ) grab much of the attention, I see value in lesser-followed names that offer the best of both worlds: high yield/value and growth potential. This brings me to Healthcare Realty Trust ( HR ), which I last covered in January, highlighting its robust fundamentals, attractive valuation, and strong growth outlook. HR has since delivered a 4% total return, far outpacing the 4% decline in the S&P 500 ( SPY ) over the same timeframe. At the current price of $17.29, HR remains attractive with a forward P/FFO of 10.8 and a +5% dividend yield, as shown below. HR Stock 1-Yr Trend (Seeking Alpha) In this article, I revisit HR, including recent business fundamentals , and discuss why it remains an attractive ‘Buy’ at present for income and value investors, so let’s dive in! Why HR? Healthcare Realty Trust is the only REIT to focus exclusively on owning, managing, and developing outpatient medical facilities across the U.S. It partners closely with leading health systems and physicians, providing mission-critical real estate that supports the ongoing shift from inpatient to outpatient care. After an operational reset including a new dividend rate and portfolio repositioning, management now frames the business as “Healthcare Realty 2.0.” Under this model, HR emphasizes disciplined capital allocation and a streamlined portfolio concentrated in high-growth markets. At present, HR has 562 properties covering 33 million square feet. Most of its annual base rent (90%) comes from the Top 50 MSAs in the U.S. As shown below, its top tenants are well-recognized health systems with mostly stellar credit ratings. Investor Presentation HR continued to demonstrate solid fundamentals during Q4 2025, with same-store NOI risin...

Vietnam’s stocks will be included in FTSE Russell’s secondary emerging markets grouping from September, boosting their visibility among global investors and paving the way for capital inflows. The addition will be done in “multiple” stages, beginning in September and concluding in 2027, the index compiler said in a statement . The upgrade puts Vietnam among key markets in the region including China, India and Indonesia, and could help stem record levels of foreign selling . FTSE Russell had estimated that the change may add up to $6 billion in redirected inflows to the country. That could give the benchmark VN Index , which has lagged most Southeast Asian peers this year, a boost. Vietnam has undertaken sweeping reforms in recent years to improve market accessibility, culminating in the country clinching a long-awaited lift from frontier status by FTSE Russell in October. Authorities removed pre-funding requirements for equity trades, advanced plans for a centralized clearing system by 2027 and allowed foreign investors to trade via global brokerages, among other measures. “FTSE Russell Index Governance Board confirms that it is satisfied with the progress made towards implementing the global broker model,” the statement said. FTSE Russell in November said Vietnam was projected to account for 0.34% of its emerging all cap gauge, based on 2024 data. It also listed Vingroup , Masan Group and Hoa Phat Group among potential joiners. The final lineup of eligible firms will be published before FTSE’s semi-annual index review in September.
