Officials have pledged to maintain bond buying until the economy shows "substantial further progress" on inflation and employment as it recovers from COVID-19.

Consumer price spikes, which in June surged the most since 2008, will likely be a temporary feature of an economy that’s quickly recovering from the pandemic, said Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly.

Single-family rental houses and townhomes underpin the securitization, with a feature to transfer or obtain a release of any property that meets conditions.

Officials responded to a more elevated outlook for prices by penciling in two interest-rate hikes for 2023, according to the median of their projections, while seven of 18 wanted to raise interest rates next year.

Federal Reserve officials who favor prioritizing mortgage-backed securities when they begin to scale back asset purchases have added Governor Christopher Waller to their ranks.

Approaching the market with its third and largest deal this year, non-QM originator and issuer Angel Oak Home Loans LLC (AOHL) plans to issue $303 million in asset-backed securities following the recent completion of its initial public offering.

The high court sent the case back to the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to revisit whether the dispute can continue as a class action lawsuit.

The $1 billion mortgage securitization is smaller than several recent deals, and features modified mortgages. But subordination supports senior notes.

The transaction, FSMT 2021-4, is one of the trust’s largest deals in the last several years. Half of the mortgages are on properties located in California.

The deal was constructed under Angel Oak’s social-bond framework, in which the firm intends to use the proceeds to help finance residential loans for underserved borrowers.
