Before the Bell Scans of Duke Realty, Prologis, DCT Industrial Trust, BioMed Realty Trust, and First Industrial Realty Trust
LONDON, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Earlier this week, reading on Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) index of manufacturing activity came below forecasts. Still, the index showed a reading of 51.3, which indicates expansion in manufacturing activity. Manufacturing activity has been expanding as the U.S. economy continues to show signs of recovery. This augurs well for industrial REITs such as Duke Realty Corp. (NYSE: DRE), Prologis Inc. (NYSE: PLD), DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (NYSE: DCT), Biomed Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: BMR), and First Industrial Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE: FR). On Wednesday, REITs ended mostly lower as the broad market tumbled amid worries over North Korea and some weak economic data.
