Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[obiterdictum]

I can't imagine that to be the reason for today's volume spike and price movement.

But I love the crowdsourcing of information. So keep it up team F+F!

This is a not a new rating or an unusual one. I do not know why or how the spike occurred.

This reported transaction is one of the 16 risk transfer transactions of Connecticut Avenue Securities, series 2017-C01 (CAS 2017-C01) "issued as part of the Federal Housing Finance Agency's Conservatorship Strategic Plan for 2013-2017 for each of the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) to demonstrate the viability of multiple types of risk transfer transactions involving single family mortgages. "

This level of rating has been reported before without a spike in FNMA share price.
