Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (IVR): Geopolitical Risks and Tariff Impact Considerations

Geopolitical tensions, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, remain a primary risk for global financial markets and interest rate stability. Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (IVR) management noted that while Agency RMBS is a “safe-haven” asset, sudden spikes in volatility could pressure book values. Furthermore, potential trade tariffs and their subsequent inflationary impact could force the Federal Reserve to pause its rate-cutting cycle, negatively affecting the company’s cost of funds and interest rate spreads in 2026.
