AGNC: Preferreds Update And Rotation Into This 9.4% Yielder
AGNC Investment Corp. preferreds offer high single-digit yields, zero credit-risk holdings, and a strong up-in capital profile, making them attractive to investors. AGNCL's reset structure provides a natural hedge, but recent outperformance and reduced Fed rate cut expectations make AGNCP's floating-rate shares more compelling. Relative to its floating-rate counterparts, AGNCP offers potential capital gains and lower call price risk.

Volatility Is Back
US equity markets posted modest declines this week amid a "DeepSeek" tumble, while interest rates declined to six-week lows as markets responded to the pause in the Fed's rate-cutting cycle. The Nasdaq 100 was the center of the action this week, dipping 1.4% on concern over potential competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek, which sparked a sharp sell-off in AI-darlings. Real estate equities were among the stronger performers for a third-straight week, buoyed by easing interest rates and by a relatively solid start to REIT earnings season.

Morning In America
Following the best week since November, U.S. markets posted their best first-week of a Presidential term since 1985 as investors saw business-friendly undertones in the early days of the new administration. Striking an agreeable tone for markets that were wary of the inflationary impacts of trade and fiscal policy, President Trump focused on supply side policies and didn't immediately implement sweeping tariffs. Posting record-highs for the first time since early December, the S&P 500 gained another 1.7% on the week, notching back-to-back weekly gains following a stretch of 4-of-5 weekly losses.

Select High Yield Preferreds Remain Opportunistically Priced
Recent macroeconomic changes, including the yield curve uninverting and Fed rate cuts, have significantly impacted REIT preferreds, leading to price increases and varied forward return potentials. Despite overall price rises, select REIT preferreds remain deeply discounted, offering high yields and substantial capital appreciation potential. Mispricing due to accrued dividends and variable rate conversions presents lucrative opportunities in preferreds.

A Decisive Realignment
U.S. equity markets soared to record highs this week after President-elect Trump scored a surprisingly decisive election victory, including a likely "trifecta" of Republican legislative control in Congress. The outcome sparked powerful moves across global financial markets as investors priced in a combination of domestic-focused and "pro-growth" economic policies but also reflected concern over deficits and immigration policy. Characteristic of the "Trump trade" dynamic, smaller-cap companies led the surge, outperforming mega-cap technology and international-heavy peers. The S&P Small-Cap 600 soared 9%, outpacing 5% gains from the S&P 500.

Pivotal Decisions
Ahead of a pivotal week of consequential decisions, U.S. equity markets posted a second-straight week of declines as investors parsed a relatively disappointing slate of employment and inflation data. The pivotal Nonfarm Payrolls report showed that the U.S. economy added just 12k jobs in October - the weakest month since 2020 - with notably weaker trends under the surface. Private employment declined by 28k during the month, fueled by the largest plunge in manufacturing employment since the pandemic shutdown, alongside job declines in retail, transportation, and hospitality.

Brace For Volatility
U.S. equity markets snapped a six-week winning streak, while benchmark interest rates surged to three-month highs as investors braced for a volatile two-week stretch of market-moving events. Another surprisingly solid slate of domestic economic data - highlighted by improved jobless claims and consumer sentiment reports - lifted the U.S. Economic Surprise Index to the highest-level since April. Retreating from record-highs, the S&P 500 finished lower by 1% on the week, declining for just the second time in the past twelve weeks. Rate-sensitive segments and small-caps were laggards.

AGNCL: What's Next For AGNC Preferreds After The Fed Cut And Rally
AGNC preferreds have rallied in 2024 alongside the broader income market due to a strong macro backdrop and Fed rate cuts. Within the preferred suite, we like AGNCL and floating-rate AGNCO, trading at yields of 7.7% and 9.8% respectively. We see a yield upside for AGNCL and a downside for AGNCO. Redemption risk for floating-rate preferreds is mitigated by high yields and modest price impact.

Encouraging Signs For Mortgage REITs
Mortgage REITs (mREITs) are becoming more attractive due to reduced RMBS spreads, alleviated negative convexity, lower cost of capital, and a positive carry from an uninverted yield curve. The macro environment shift suggests strong 3Q24 earnings for mREITs, making common shares potentially opportunistic and bolstering preferred dividend payments. Despite historical weaknesses, mREITs like AGNC could be worth considering at moderate discounts, with potential trading opportunities around earnings releases.

An October Surprise
U.S. equity markets extended gains to a fourth-straight week despite a resurgence in benchmark interest rates after a critical slate of employment data showed surprisingly strong labor market trends. One of several strong employment reports, Nonfarm Payrolls data showed that the U.S. economy added 254k jobs in September - the strongest in six months and well above consensus estimates. Combined with a nearly 10% surge in crude oil prices driven by renewed Middle East tensions, markets reflected a significantly less aggressive Fed rate cut path in the months ahead.
