NEW YORK (Reuters) -- U.S. Treasurys fell Monday after stronger-than-expected data on manufacturing, construction and home sales spurred hopes of a solid economic recovery and dented demand for safe-haven U.S. debt. Losses were limited however, with many investors unwilling to take a strong position as they wait for the Federal Reserve to speak Wednesday after its two-day monetary policy meeting and look ahead to Friday's October non-farm payrolls report. We had very strong data today which raises the risk that we might have a further sharp narrowing in the non-farm payroll job declines" … (0 comments)

Mortgage Rates Raise Slightly, Treasury's Slip Ahead of Record Auction As reported by Reuters -- U.S. Treasury debt prices eased Friday as investors maneuvered to cut prices ahead of next week's record-large wave of government notes supply.

FNMA announced in their latest mortgagee letter Wednesday that they were raising their minimum credit score to 620. On the surface this doesn't mean much since it was hard to get a conventional loan approved through FNMA with a credit score less than 620 anyway. The significance of it is this, since FHA and VA have no minimum credit score technically, we can no longer sell FNMA our FHA or VA loans that had scores between 600 and 620.
All the investors that we usually sell to have quit accepting loans with … (1 comments)
