pPosted To: a href="/consumer_rates/"Mortgage Rate Watch/a/pAfter last weekrsquo;s rates roller coaster ride that forced multiple reprices for the better and the worse, yesterday was quite boring. Mortgage rates held steady as prices of mortgage backed securities never moved too far in either direction. With very little price volatility, lenders left rate sheets unchanged on the day near the best rates of 2010. There are no major economic reports scheduled for release today. With no economic data hitting the news wires this morning, todayrsquo;s trading action, like yesterday, has been slow. AQ recapped some events that happened overnight which have affected the flow of money in markets today. HERE it is if you are interested. The only event on the calendar with the ability to move mortgage rates is the first of three treasury auctions for the week...(a href="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/consumer_rates/139229.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/139229/3/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=139229" width="1" height="1"
pPosted To: a href="/channels/pipelinepress/default.aspx"Pipeline Press/a/pOften I start the commentary off saying something witty, but I couldn#39;t think of anything clever so I thought I#39;d suggest you take a look at this video about, of all things, seat belts. It is making the rounds, and with good reason. The Federal Reserve has a little more than ten business days to complete their well-publicized purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Last week it bought $10 billion, breaking their 3-week streak of $11 billion. Only fixed-rate agency MBS securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae are/were eligible assets for the program. Everyone knows that the end of the program is imminent. I am going to go out on a limb here, which is rare for me, and suggest that the consultants, market gurus, bloggers, paid services, etc., who firmly...(a href="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/channels/pipelinepress/03092010-repo-lendamerica-rates.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/139214/3/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=139214" width="1" height="1"
pPosted To: a href="/mortgage_rates/blog/"MBS Commentary/a/pGood Morning. Happy Standardized Test Tuesday! My nephew has Maryland School Assessment tests today, we were pre-gaming this morning. I remember those days pretty well...mostly because they were so incredibly boring and slow. Also because the test#39;s time slots subtracted from favored subjects such as recess and P.E. What I should really be saying is HAPPY FLIGHT TO QUALITY TUESDAY!!! While you were sleeping, a senior director at Fitch Ratings by the name of Paul Rawkins told folks at a conference in London that Portugal#39;s quot;pedestrian approach is a concern for usquot;.

pPosted To: a href="/news/"MND NewsWire/a/pEquity futures are firmly lower this morning following a mixed session yesterday. The Dow looks to open 31 points lower at 10,507 while futures on the Samp;P 500 are off 4.25 points to 1,132.75. ldquo;The mood in global markets is towards risk aversion with no apparent trigger,rdquo; said Benjamin Reitzes from BMO. MND#39;s Adam Quinones says weakness in stocks and the flight to quality into Treasuries is a factor of overnight news from Fitch Ratings that warned against a downgrade of the credit ratings of the United Kingdom, France, and Spain. Confirming that risk isnrsquo;t on the table this morning, WTI crude oil is down $1.25 to $80.62 per barrel, and Spot Gold is trading $6.32 lower at $1,117.23.

pPosted To: a href="/news/"MND NewsWire/a/pThe Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), American Bankers Association (ABA), and the American Financial Services Association (AFSA) joined with 11 state and local mortgage lending groups on Friday to send a letter to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development expressing concerns about the way in which HUD is proposing to implement the 2008 SAFE Act. The SAFE Act (Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing), was passed in July 2008 as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act. It directs states to adopt licensing and registration requirements for loan originators that meet minimum standards established by the act in lieu of HUD establishing nationwide standards.

pPosted To: a href="/news/"MND NewsWire/a/pMortgage rates reversed course yet again during the week ended March 4 with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) once more falling below 5 percent. According to Freddie Mac#39;s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year FRM averaged 4.97 percent with an average of 0.7 point compared to an average rate of 5.05 percent with 0.7 point the previous week.
