Agency MBS Historical Operational Results and Planned Operation Amounts

The New York Fed is authorized by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to buy and sell agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) for the System Open Market Account (SOMA) to the extent necessary to carry out directives adopted by the FOMC. These operations are conducted in the secondary market for agency MBS. Dollar roll and coupon swap transactions may also be executed as needed to help facilitate the settlement of outstanding MBS purchases.

Based on the May 1, 2024 operating policy statement, principal payments on agency MBS will not be reinvested should they fall below the $35 billion monthly redemption cap. Should principal payments exceed this cap, the excess will be reinvested into Treasury securities. Based on the October 14, 2022 operating policy statement, the Desk conducts small value agency MBS operations under its normal process for maintaining operational readiness. Details are outlined in a recent operating policy statement and FAQs.

Monthly Operation Amounts and Results*

The Desk's tentative monthly agency MBS transaction amounts are shown below. The table indicates whether operations for the monthly period are being conducted for small value purposes. In addition, historical operational results, including information on the transaction prices in individual operations, are shown in the table below at the end of each monthly period. The Desk’s tentative operational schedules associated with outright operations are available here. Announcements with details on the day's operation will be posted to the agency MBS Operations page at the start of each operation; results will be posted there after the close of each operation.

An approximate purchase amount of $10 billion was announced in the Desk’s FAQs published on September 26, 2011. This amount represented an approximation of the remainder of principal payments from agency debt and agency MBS to be reinvested in agency MBS over this time, based on the reinvestment schedule released in mid-September.

Results

*Note: MBS purchase amounts published by the Desk are based on already announced FOMC decisions, and make no assumptions about future policy actions. Accordingly, if the FOMC announced a modification to its policy stance with a new policy directive, the Desk would release an updated statement regarding MBS purchases.
**Note: The Tentative Agency MBS Outright Operations do not include dollar roll and coupon swap operations, however they are included in Operational Results when conducted.
