0042 GMT - Mall owner Scentre is a newly bearish call of Macquarie as bond yields shift higher. Macquarie downgrades Scentre to underperform, from neutral, and cuts its price target by 12% to A$3.64/share as it factors in the impact of the upward movement in bond yields on capitalization rates and asset values. Scentre has outperformed the ASX 200 A-Reit sector by some 18 percentage points over the past 12 months as direct investor interest in malls thaws, Macquarie notes. Scentre is down 0.5% at A$4.09.
