Forward guidance

While the near-term outlook continues to be uncertain, the longer-term outlook for Agency MBS has improved substantially. At current valuation levels, Agency MBS are extremely attractive relative to historical levels. The favorable returns associated with Agency MBS in this wider spread regime and an improving technical outlook for mortgage supply and demand should provide a supportive backdrop for Agency MBS investors. Moreover, in this compelling investment environment, we believe AGNC is well-positioned to generate strong risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders.

Tailwinds

  • Agency MBS are extremely attractive relative to historical levels.
  • The Federal Reserve has begun to reduce its portfolio organically, but that runoff will occur at a slower pace than previously anticipated as a result of reduced prepayments.
  • The net supply of Agency MBS is now expected to be meaningfully lower than prior expectations.
  • The favorable returns associated with Agency MBS in this wider spread regime and an improving technical outlook for mortgage supply and demand should provide a supportive backdrop for Agency MBS investors.
  • AGNC is well-positioned to generate strong risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders.

Headwinds

  • Financial markets remained under significant pressure in the second quarter as the Federal Reserve indicated a more aggressive path of monetary policy tightening.
  • The expectation of materially higher short-term rates drove significant interest rate volatility and increased the probability of a recession.
  • This challenging monetary policy and macro-economic environment led to broad-based financial market weakness during the second quarter.
  • Agency MBS were no exception, as the spread between Agency MBS and swap and Treasury rates widened meaningfully in April and again in June.
  • The near-term outlook continues to be uncertain.
