Recent 10 Year Treasury Increase, It's affect on Expected Returns and Cap Rates

Hey guys,

I am curious how much the recent .2% increase (now rate is 1.5%) in the 10 year treasury affect's real estate. So from my understanding it's used along with a risk premium to decide on a cap rate for real estate investors. 

So it seems with the increase, investors would be increasing their target cap rates as well on deals. Overall it seems the market is searching for higher cap rates in general than before due to uncertainty of future lease ups, covid, etc.

So why with two things that seem to make cap rates go up (i.e. lowering purchase price, deals becoming cheaper) why are we seeing in specifically NYC people say cap rates are going down? It seems to make sense if you're expecting $20 million for a building and your NOI goes from $1.5 million (7.5% cap rate) to a $1 million (5% cap rate), but can anyone explain how these markets all intertwine? Even if you come down in purchase price to $15 million that still showing a reduction in cap rate.

In this case the rents have gone down due to tenants leaving, maybe renegotiating for a new lease so is this happening and it just isn't in overall office market reports/quality assets are usually steady between certain cap ranges? Because in a recent report for 2020 I'm literally seeing cap rates slightly go up for markets like Manhattan, NYC.
