Shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fell Monday after Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analysts downgraded the stocks to Underperform. Here's a look at the latest developments for the mortgage giants:
The 30-year fixed rate mortgage topped 7% for the first time since last May, although late in the week, the 10-year Treasury peaked before reversing course.
“Mortgage rates ticked up for the fifth consecutive week and crossed 7% for the first time since May of 2024,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “The underlying strength of the economy is contributing to this increase in rates."
MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today posted to its website its Monthly Volume Summary for December 2024, which provides information on Freddie Mac’s mortgage-related portfolios, securities issuance, risk management, delinquencies, debt activities and other investments.
The average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages surpassed 7 percent for the first time since May, Freddie Mac reported on Thursday, extending a weekslong climb that could push more buyers and sellers to the sidelines.
In December, economists believe the overall PCE index rose 0.3% on a monthly basis and 2.6% on an annual basis, according to FactSet’s consensus estimates. They anticipate that the core measure of PCE inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.2% on a monthly basis and 2.8% over the past year.
