Freddie Mac

In a letter to federal leaders, the Community Home Lenders of America expressed views about a possible GSE merger and the need for "critical" mortgage products.

Trump has yet to decide when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will return to the market in an IPO that regulator Bill Pulte says could top $1 trillion.

The tests modeled how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would fare after absorbing losses like a total $36.1 billion provision in credit losses in a severe downturn.

President Donald Trump is bringing in bank leaders to meet with him one by one at the White House. Beyond the economic discussion, there's a chance at a big payday for their firms.

Federal officials directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to study whether digital assets held on US regulated exchanges might someday be factored into mortgage risk assessments.

This might deeply disappoint Wall Street investors who've been counting on a windfall if Fannie and Freddie are set free.

Hedge funds and other investors have called for the government to release the two entities from conservatorship, which could provide a windfall for shareholders.

While the 30-year rate landed near its level of a week ago, it ended up there only after political developments led to up-and-down swings in Treasurys.

Don Layton, former Freddie Mac CEO, and self-proclaimed "GSEologist" predicts that a release of the two entities will occur within four to six years.

The head of operations at the Federal Housing Finance Agency and two C-suite leaders at the government-sponsored enterprise are out, according to Semafor.
