Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[jacklanvo99]

“The Trump administration is looking for ways to recapitalize [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] in a manner that preserves the implicit guarantee, that does not alarm the financial community, and that does not push mortgage rates up,” says Wedbush analyst Jay McCanless. “Any hint of trouble is going to freak people out.”

In an interview last week with Barron’s, Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, said the two will “likely” remain in conservatorship, but added that the Trump administration is exploring ways to “take pieces, or some of, the companies public.”
