Higher Rates Got You Down?
October of 2023 gave us the current market cycle high in rates all along the curve. Since then, we saw the 5-, 10-, 20-, and 30-year treasuries fall over 100 basis points by the end of the year, only to see them sitting at the current 2024 calendar year highs. The spread between the 3-month treasury and 10-year treasury was negative 48.5 basis points in October of 2023, but currently is sitting at negative 77 basis points. This move back up in the longer part of the curve recently has had some wonder that if inflation keeps climbing, the 10-year treasury could climb above the short end of the curve to cause the curve to normalize. The Fed has been very clear that their number one objective is battling inflation. This means that if inflation does in fact keep climbing, another rate hike isn’t completely off the table.
If you are in the camp who believes rates may remain high for some time, or even go higher, then we believe utilizing a floating rate security can help provide some defense to that thought. The following floating rate security may just be what you need.
This GNMA floating rate CMO* has an 8 percent cap. The Fed would have to raise seven more times before you hit the cap. The current coupon is 6.15 percent, which is higher than current SBA floaters. Also, this bond has zero risk-weighting as it is backed by GNMA.
