Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA -3.7%) and Freddie Mac's (OTCQB:FMCC -4.6%) overseer plans to re-propose the entire regulation on capital requirements for the two home mortgage giants sometime in 2020.

"The 2018 Capital Rule was proposed before FHFA [Federal Housing Finance Agency] began the process of retaining capital at the Enterprises as a first step toward ending the conservatorships," said FHFA Director Mark Calabria.

As such, comments submitted during the previous rulemaking process were submitted under a different set of assumptions.

"During the process of the rulemaking, important issues were identified that will be addressed in the re-proposal," Calabria said.

Guido....thanks. I understand the short delay could cause a little drop. But where the hell did this idea about $180 billion capital requirements come from?

And how did the market determine that?
