The Utilities ETF have been correcting since start of May
The traditionally high yielding REIT ETF since 20th have been correcting
So is the high yielding Telecom ETF
The best guess of this is that the recent climb is a search for a yield haven and a recent fear of interest hike scare the shit out of them.
Asset class becomes competing when pear against low risk treasury.

Treasuries exhibited some relatively sharp moves yesterday, with 10-year yields reaching 2.19 per cent this morning:
In the bigger picture… maybe not quite a dramatic QExit-related panic:
Deutsche Bank’s Jim Reid says yesterday’s 16 basis point rise to 2.17 per cent was the highest one-day rise in 19 months, and brought it to the highest level since April last year. He reckons the consumer confidence data was a key trigger:
This brings the cumulative rise in yields to 50bp since the beginning of this month – spurring the return of “Great Rotation” talk. The majority of yesterdays move came after the release of the Conference Board’s US consumer confidence data which printed at a post-GFC high of 76.2 (vs 71.2 expected). There were also reports of technical selling after stops were triggered around the 2.08% to 2.10% level. Yesterday’s 2yr tnote auction didn’t help either after it recorded its lowest bid-to-cover ratio (3.04x) since February 2011.
