If you align the Bank Rate (2016–2025) with the SUPR stock price (2017–2026):

2016–2020Flat near 0.5%, then drops to ~0%SUPR stable and gradually rising
2021–2023Rapid increase from ~0% to >5%SUPR peaks early 2022, then collapses sharply

📊 Interpretation

  • The inverse relationship is striking: as the Bank Rate surged, SUPR’s price fell dramatically.
  • This reflects interest rate sensitivity typical of REITs — higher rates raise borrowing costs and reduce property valuations.
  • When rates began easing in 2024–2025, SUPR showed tentative recovery, suggesting investor optimism returning with lower yields.

Markets look ahead, the expectation is that interest rates will rise because of the oil price. Not a given but it’s the glorious uncertainty of owning stocks and shares.

Current yield 7.5%, a buy for the SNOWBALL but could you get 8% ?
