JCPenney store closings push spotlight onto mall landlords

JCPenney is shutting or set to shut at least six stores this year, according to Fast Company, which cited local news, customer reviews and the chain’s website. Stores are closing in California, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia and Pennsylvania. It’s a small list, but could matter more for mall owners. JCPenney is shutting down its Ross Park Mall location near Pittsburgh after 40 years, with the store set to close Sept. 20. The U.S. Sun said Tuesday that closing sales have kicked off, offering 20% off everything, and some items getting marked down as much as 40%.

Mortgage refi applications jump even as U.S. homebuyer demand stays soft, supply up

Mortgage refi applications jump even as U.S. homebuyer demand stays soft, supply up

U.S. mortgage numbers are confusing markets. Homeowners remain fast to tap refinancing on any rate pullback, but new buyers are staying on the sidelines, so builders’ inventory is not moving. Mortgage applications bounced 1.0% last week, per Mortgage Bankers Association data, after dropping 3.8% a week earlier. The uptick was driven by a 3% gain in refinancing, but purchase activity was down. The 30-year fixed conforming rate ticked lower, down to 6.59% from 6.60%.

Mortgage rates hit lowest in a month as Iran framework eases Treasury yields

Mortgage rates hit lowest in a month as Iran framework eases Treasury yields

Mortgage rates in the U.S. dropped to the lowest in over a month as a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement took some heat out of Treasury markets. That move gave buyers a bit of breathing room. 30-year fixed mortgage rates fell to 6.47% for the week ending June 18, down from 6.52% the previous week, according to Freddie Mac. The rate stood at 6.81% a year earlier. The 15-year fixed mortgage edged lower as well, hitting 5.81% from 5.84%.

Mortgage rates drop as Iran deal sends yields lower; Fed caution limits move

Mortgage rates drop as Iran deal sends yields lower; Fed caution limits move

Mortgage rates in the U.S. edged lower this week after a U.S.-Iran deal helped cool oil and bond markets. Freddie Mac on Thursday put the average 30-year fixed rate at 6.47%, down five basis points from last week’s 6.52%. A year ago that rate was 6.81%. Timing is key with buyers heading into the summer housing market strapped for cash and unable to budge much. Mortgage rates tend to follow the 10-year Treasury yield, which dropped to around 4.44% Thursday after sitting at 4.53% last week. Markets cut some geopolitical risk.

Opendoor stock ticks higher ahead of key data, Fed decision

Opendoor Technologies Inc. shares traded up ahead of the open Wednesday, last seen at $4.78 as of 6:00 a.m. ET. That’s after gaining 3% in the last session. Pre-market action, in the quiet hours before the 9:30 a.m. U.S. open, often sees lighter volume and bigger spreads. Opendoor's fortunes are linked to mortgage costs, home turnover, and whether it can keep making money buying and selling houses. On Tuesday, Reuters said single-family housing starts in the U.S. slid 1.9% in May, running at an annual pace of 882,000 units. Overall starts were at their lowest in six years.

Realty Income Stock Rises as Investors Weigh Monthly Dividend Growth, New Property Deals and Rate Risk

Realty Income Stock Rises as Investors Weigh Monthly Dividend Growth, New Property Deals and Rate Risk

Realty Income Corp. shares gained ground on Friday, giving income investors a fresh reason to revisit one of the market’s best-known monthly dividend stocks. The real estate investment trust, or REIT — a company structure that owns income-producing real estate and pays out most taxable income to shareholders — rose 1.31% to close at $62.72, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.50% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.70%. Realty Income also outpaced Kimco Realty, Regency Centers and Federal Realty in the session, according to market data. The move matters because Realty Income’s share price is heavily tied to investor demand for reliable yield. Google Finance lists the stock’s dividend yield at 5.16%, with a market value near $58.5 billion and a 52-week range of $55.86 to $67.94. A dividend yield is the annual dividend divided by the share price; when a REIT’s yield stays well above Treasury yields, some investors see a more attractive income trade, but when bond yields rise, REIT valuations can come under pressure.

Keel Infrastructure Stock Rises as $458 Million AI Data Center Financing Puts Lease Deals in Focus

Keel Infrastructure Stock Rises as $458 Million AI Data Center Financing Puts Lease Deals in Focus

Keel Infrastructure Corp. stock is back in focus after the former Bitfarms closed a $458 million offering of 1.250% convertible senior notes due 2032, giving the company more capital to pursue its shift from Bitcoin mining toward AI data center infrastructure. Convertible senior notes are debt securities that can later convert into shares under set conditions, so they can strengthen liquidity but also raise future dilution questions. Keel said the deal included the full exercise of a $58 million purchaser option and generated about $445.4 million in net proceeds before offering expenses and capped-call costs. The financing matters for KEEL’s share price because the company’s valuation is now tied less to near-term mining economics and more to whether it can secure long-term customers for high-performance computing, or HPC, workloads used in AI and other compute-heavy applications. Keel said part of the proceeds funded capped-call transactions, a type of options structure designed to reduce potential share dilution from note conversion, up to an initial cap price of $11.86 per share. The notes carry an initial conversion price of about $7.41, a 25% premium to Keel’s $5.93 Nasdaq closing price on June 4.

Opendoor Stock Climbs as Fresh Acquisition Data Puts Turnaround Back in Focus

Opendoor Stock Climbs as Fresh Acquisition Data Puts Turnaround Back in Focus

Opendoor Technologies Inc. shares rose sharply Wednesday, putting the home-flipping platform back on investors’ radar after the company’s latest “Accountable” dashboard showed a 31% week-over-week increase in acquisition contract tracking. The stock recently traded at $4.69, up roughly 8% from the prior close, after opening at $4.35. That dashboard is the fresh data point. It was marked “Data as of Jun 06, 2026” and “Updated yesterday,” making it the most current verified company update available around the move. Acquisition contracts matter because Opendoor is an iBuyer — a business that contracts to buy homes directly and later resells them — so rising contracts can point to future inventory and revenue if those deals close.
