0827 ET - President Trump's initiative to have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion of mortgage-backed securities could drive a 10 to 25 basis point reduction in mortgage rates, potentially bringing the current 30-year headline mortgage rate down to roughly 6%, according to UBS. "While still elevated relative to the average outstanding mortgage rate of 4.4% and the 3.25% levels as recently as Jan 2022, this decline may provide a boost to both new construction demand and existing home turnover," the analysts say.
