Late Day Stock Rally Pressures MBS Lower

From a recent alert on the MBS Dashboard: "Late day illiquidity and a stock market rally are weighing on MBS this afternoon. Prices are in line with their lows of the day and while the reprice scene has been fairly quiet today, it's not out of the realm of possibility for a lender or two to take some rebate off the table heading into the weekend. Fannie 3.5's are down 12 ticks on the day at 100-22 and 4.0's are down 8 ticks at 103-03" Since that alert, MBS have gained back a few ticks, making things...

Mortgage Rates Improve For First Time in October

Domestic economic data and the exuberance over the European debt situation were both fairly lackluster today, and Mortgage Rates improved decisively for the first time October. The 30yr Fixed Best-Execution rate fell an eighth of a point at most lenders, though the volatility continues to lead to a wider-than-normal variety among lenders. Despite the improvement, if you're seeing local or national news talking about rates in the "high 3's, " that info is already out-dated as Best-Execution rates...

MetLife to Bale and Sail on Mortgages? The Fed, PSA's, and Foreclosures; PHH Discusses Agency Repurchases

What are political ads like in Texas ? As was noted in yesterday's commentary, one of the questions that folks in the mortgage conference hallways were asking was, "With BofA leaving correspondent, is someone like Chase going to be next?" There is a big difference between hallway chatter and headlines of " MetLife May Sell Mortgage Business " in Bloomberg! "Chief Executive Officer Steven Kandarian, who took the job in May, is planning to exit a business that expanded in June when it replaced Bank...

Mortgage Rates Get 2nd Chance After Holding Ground

More optimism surrounding the European Debt risis and more tough times for Mortgage Rates . Unlike yesterday's rather abrupt rise in rates versus Friday, rates held relatively steady today, with no change to Best-Execution, despite weaker bond markets. As a bit of an ongoing public service to those who might be in disbelief, and if you didn't see it yesterday: rates are significantly higher than last week. If you're seeing local or national news talking about rates in the "high 3's, " that info is...

Brinkmann expects mortgage originations to fall from an estimated 232347.2 trillion in 2011 to $900 billion next year.
