Today marks four years since the widespread shutdowns across the U.S. in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While four years seems like forever ago, in many ways the mortgage industry is still grappling with the ripple effects of this once-in-a-lifetime event (🤞), including the #MBS market. With that in mind, we wanted to reflect on the tremendous impact this event had on our clients and remind everyone just how far we've come. #capitalmarkets #mortgage #secondarymarket #hedging

Navigating the #mortgage #secondarymarket over the last few years has been challenging, to say the least, requiring #capitalmarkets professionals to deploy more advanced #hedging strategies to appropriately price and most effectively hedge their loans. One such strategy is cross-hedging, which Chris Bennett outlined in a recently released white paper. The white paper is free to access – no need to give up your email.

The decision to keep rates steady and signals of three rate cuts in 2024 might be grabbing the headlines, but that’s not actually the most significant takeaway from The Federal Reserve Board's Dec. 13, 2023 meeting. Chris Bennett explains what the real story here is in this latest video. #mortgage #mortgagerates #capitalmarkets #secondarymarket #hedging #PoweroftheNetwork

Knowing where real value lies allows seasoned traders to still navigate profitably when MBS prices go through what may seem erratic moves on the surface. Chris Bennett gives a detailed look at what goes into successful hedging and trading in today’s sometimes wild markets in his latest webinar, “Using the 5-year Treasury to Determine Midpoint Fair Value for MBS Prices." This webinar uses real-world examples in the MBS markets from last month to explain how to correctly find full and fair value in mid and higher-coupon MBS prices using highly liquid instruments, notably the 5-year Treasury. #hedging #hedgeadvisory #mbs #mortgage #capitalmarkets https://lnkd.in/dCj972cM
