MBS WEEKLY: Bearish Bond Technicals Battle Mixed Econ Outlook

Friday, February 26th, 2010

pPosted To: a href=”/mortgage_rates/blog/”MBS Commentary/a/pWell well well, look where we sit. 10s rose from 3.60 to 3.80 in seven sessions. Took a short breather. Then fell from 3.80 to 3.60 in four days. Chop chop chop . On the week, the 3.625% coupon bearing 10 year Treasury note was +1-09. That#39;s +41/32 from 98-24 all the way up to 100-01. Yields fell 14 basis point from 3.76% to 3.62%. Looking at a longer timeline….notice the cluster of weekly moving averages and rapidly narrowing trend channel. This pattern is called an ascending triangle or continuation pattern. It illustrates how trader positions are accumulating at higher and higher levels. If this chart was price, it would be very bullish. Meaning we would soon expect a breakout to the upside in the near future. Since the chart below is yield, we have to call it very bearish, at least…(a href=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/mortgage_rates/blog/137404.aspx”read more/a)pdiv style=”background-color:#D4EDC9;border:1px solid #BDD4B3;padding:3px 5px 3px 6px; color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;”strongForward this article via email:/strongnbsp;nbsp;a href=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/channels/137404/3/forward.aspx” style=”color:#3333CC;”Send a copy of this story/a to someone you know that may want to read it./div/pimg src=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=137404″ width=”1″ height=”1″

Fannie Mae to Clean Up Purchase Process. And Jumpstart the Non-Agency Market at Same Time?

Friday, February 26th, 2010

pPosted To: a href=”/news/”MND NewsWire/a/pIf I was selling loans at the moment and I wanted to reduce secondary marketing #39; leakage #39;, I would take special note of the changes, updates, and guidance#39;s offered by Fannie Mae#39;s QC department in Lender Letter 2010-03 below. THE LOAN QUALITY INITIATIVE! (aka loan repurchase world!) The only thing I might add before you read on is FNs loan purchasing systems/work flow are tedious and usually time consuming. Historically, many issues related to compliance with Fannie Mae selling policies are not detected until after loans are delinquent or through the foreclosure process. Loan repurchase requests to lenders have increased in the past three years, highlighting the need for an improved approach for working with lenders to deliver loans that meet Fannie Maersquo;s underwriting…(a href=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/02262010_fannie_mae_quality_control.asp”read more/a)pdiv style=”background-color:#D4EDC9;border:1px solid #BDD4B3;padding:3px 5px 3px 6px; color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;”strongForward this article via email:/strongnbsp;nbsp;a href=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/channels/137376/3/forward.aspx” style=”color:#3333CC;”Send a copy of this story/a to someone you know that may want to read it./div/pimg src=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=137376″ width=”1″ height=”1″

pPosted To: a href=”/mortgage_rates/blog/”MBS Commentary/a/pAlthough quot;rate sheet influentialquot; MBS coupons are off intra day price highs, we are seeing reprices for the better. If you#39;re floating in the short term, wait a bit longer as you should pick up between .125 and .375 bps after rates are republished. The FN 4.0 is +0-09 at 98-12 yielding 4.157% and the FN 4.5 is +0-09 at 101-07 yielding 4.369%. The secondary market current coupon is 4.295%.

pPosted To: a href=”/news/”MND NewsWire/a/pFreddie Mac is taking another step in the direction of historically responsible lending habits.

FHFA: GSEs Focused on Core Businesses and Responsible Lending

Friday, February 26th, 2010

pPosted To: a href=”/news/”MND NewsWire/a/pThe central goal of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in managing its conservatorship of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae is and conserving the assets of the corporations by minimizing their credit losses from delinquent mortgages. This goal and others were outlined in a letter earlier this month from Edward J. DeMarco, Acting Director of FHFA updating leadership of the House Financial Services and Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs committees on those conservatorships. The letter was released as part of a presentation made by DeMarco to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services Thursday. The presentation was primarily concerned with outlining FHFA#39;s approach to executive compensation at the two government sponsored enterprises while the letter addressed…(a href=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/02262010_fhfa_enterprises.asp”read more/a)pdiv style=”background-color:#D4EDC9;border:1px solid #BDD4B3;padding:3px 5px 3px 6px; color:#000000;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;”strongForward this article via email:/strongnbsp;nbsp;a href=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/channels/137264/3/forward.aspx” style=”color:#3333CC;”Send a copy of this story/a to someone you know that may want to read it./div/pimg src=”http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=137264″ width=”1″ height=”1″
