Fed Rate Cuts and Market Reactions: The Federal Reserve's potential rate cuts could paradoxically lead to rising long-term interest rates, particularly the 10-year Treasury yield, which influences consumer loans and mortgages.
Mortgage REITs Opportunity: Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (mREITs) are positioned to benefit from a "rate split," where short-term borrowing costs decrease while long-term mortgage rates remain stable or decline, enhancing their profitability.
AGNC Investment Corp.: AGNC, an mREIT yielding 15%, is expected to see increased profits and potentially a dividend increase as Fed rate cuts lower borrowing costs, despite having faced losses in previous quarters.
Alternative Investment Suggestion: While AGNC offers a high yield, the article suggests considering another investment with an 11% yield that has shown consistent growth and special dividends, presenting a more stable option for investors.
