Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Yields on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage securities tumbled to the lowest in almost six months, signaling that interest rates on new home loans will decline.
Yields on Washington-based Fannie Mae’s current-coupon 30- year fixed-rate mortgage bonds fell 0.08 percentage point to 4.05 percent as of 1:01 p.m. in New York, the lowest since May 20, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The drop exceeded declines in benchmark Treasury yields.
“It all comes down to the Fed,” said Walt Schmidt, a mortgage-bond strategist at FTN Financial in Chicago, referring to the central bank’s program in which it buys home-loan securities.
