Freddie Mac

No plan will be implemented as long as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain in conservatorship, but a capital framework for the companies could still have a substantive impact.

Sales of nonperforming loans by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac slowed during the past year as the number of delinquent loans on their books continued to drop.

After declining for two straight weeks, mortgage rates reversed direction this week and rose to their second highest level this year, according to Freddie Mac.

Freddie Mac hit the $1 trillion mark on credit risk sharing for single-family mortgage loans with its second lower LTV deal of the year.

The agency proposed new minimum capital requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that would only go into effect if the government ends its conservatorships.

Mortgage rates dipped for the second consecutive week although 10-year Treasury yields started to rise again, according to Freddie Mac.

The federal government has opened a criminal investigation into whether traders manipulated prices in the $550 billion market for corporate bonds issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mortgage rates fell for the first time in four weeks, dropping 10 basis points as investors' concerns over a government crisis in Italy drove bond yields lower.

Freddie Mac's economists took a more bullish outlook than others on the 2018 mortgage market, raising its forecast by $30 billion citing higher-than-projected refinance activity.

Mortgage rates continued their climb this week, jumping 5 basis points to their highest level since May 2011, according to Freddie Mac.
