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.

A Summer To Remember
U.S. equity markets climbed to record-highs while benchmark interest rates rebounded from eight-month lows on a relatively quiet end-of-summer week as investors parsed a 'Goldilocks' slate of economic data. PCE data showed modest inflationary pressures in July - keeping the Fed on course for multiple rate cuts by year-end - while consumer spending and consumer confidence data topped estimates. Posting gains for a fourth week following a three-week skid in late July, the S&P 500 gained another 0.3% this week. The Dow Jones finished the week at all-time record-highs.

Chasing Goldilocks
U.S. equity markets rallied while benchmark interest rates remained near the lows of the year after a critical slate of inflation data showed further encouraging signs of cooling price pressures. The Consumer Price Index posted a downside surprise for a fourth straight month, underscored by a "2-Handle" on Headline CPI, which follows a period of historically high inflation from 2021 to 2023. Sparking a renewed "Goldilocks" narrative, Retail Sales data was notably stronger than expected in July - posting its strongest monthly increase in 18 months - while Jobless Claims also moderated.

The Return Of Volatility
In a highly volatile week across global financial markets, U.S. equity markets ultimately finished the week little-changed, while benchmark interest rates rebounded from the lowest levels of the year. Following a historic surge in volatility, stabilization in Asian and European markets, decent jobless claims data, and clarity on the domestic Presidential matchup helped to ease market jitters. Narrowly avoiding a fourth-straight week of losses, the S&P 500 finished flat - staging a late-week rebound after sharp declines early in the week. The Nasdaq remained in "correction territory."
