Over the past three weeks, investors have pulled capital from US mortgage-backed bond funds at an historically unprecedented pace, with outflows ranking among the seven largest since early 2021. Driven by surging interest rates, investors are rushing to hedge against market volatility. The US Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) index posted its second-worst monthly performance on record in September. Earlier, US Treasury yields rose to multi-decade highs amid surging oil prices, intensifying inflation concerns, and market expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, triggering sell-offs in mortgage bonds. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are highly sensitive to sudden fluctuations in bond yields, as yields serve as the pricing benchmark for borrowing costs across the entire economy. When rates rise, homeowners typically refinance their mortgages less, leaving investors holding lower-yielding securities for longer than anticipated. Strategist Erica Adelberg noted: "The Federal Reserve’s tightening monetary policy and flattening yield curve may weaken demand from banks, a key buyer of MBS. On the positive side, as mortgage rates hit their highest level since 2023, refinancing and homebuying demand are being suppressed, which could slow growth in home prices and loan volumes. As a result, MBS supply is expected to decline by year-end." (Jin10)
