Changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Recently, there have been significant changes to trade policies, export control laws, sanctions, legislation, treaties, and tariffs in the United States and other countries. The future of global trade relationships remains uncertain, including with respect to potential changes in trade laws, regulations, policies, and tariffs. While we are not directly engaged in international trade, such developments can indirectly affect macroeconomic conditions in the United States, including inflation and interest ratesboth of which have a significant impact on the residential real estate and mortgage markets. For example, heightened tariffs or ongoing trade disputes may lead to increased input costs, contributing to inflationary pressures and potentially influencing monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve. Rising interest rates could, in turn, reduce housing affordability, slow home price appreciation, increase mortgage delinquency rates, and adversely impact the performance of the residential mortgage assets in which we invest. We cannot predict what additional actions may be taken by the United States or other governments, what sectors may be affected, or how financial markets may respond. To the extent that trade policy changes or broader geopolitical developments adversely affect inflation, interest rates, or the housing and mortgage markets more generally, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
