Feb. 26: Lenders hiring MLOs; correspondent, tech, servicing, tech products; what you should know about yesterday’s rate move

February 26, 2021 by Rob Chrisman

Huh? Rates don’t continually go down and then stay there for an indefinite period of time? No, they don’t. There’s this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal: “We’ll Have Herd Immunity by April. COVID cases have dropped 77% in six weeks. Experts should level with the public about the good news.” Every lender will tell a client that good economic news is bad for lower rates. We return to the question of, “What’s a lender’s cost to create a servicing asset worth a point?” Yes, yesterday’s rate move was dramatic (we’re already seeing rates come back down slightly this morning, as you’d expect), but lenders are already reminding their production force about monetizing their own database. Is the servicer staying “front of mind” for clients? Lenders are already changing tactics. And change is possible. For example, I got over my addiction to chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts. I won’t lie, it was a rocky road. (To listen to the audio version of today’s commentary, including an interview with Spruce’s CEO Patrick Burns, please click here.)

Are you ever surprised by the relation of two seemingly unrelated things? For example, advertising and the discovery of Greenland are linked through Eric the Red, who deliberately gave the land a more appealing name than “Iceland” in order to lure potential settlers. A relation that should not surprise you is servicing qc and borrower retention. For borrowers, the majority of their mortgage experience is related to servicing and with roughly 30% of borrowers choosing a lender based on having an existing relationship with the company, good and compliant servicing plays a big part in that decision. One easy way to improve the servicing experience for borrowers is through servicing qc. By ensuring your servicing efforts are compliant, you’re passing fewer issues on to the borrower. Contact Subsequent QC today to make sure your servicing qc is helping provide your borrowers with the best servicing experience possible.

Humans have been captivated by the idea of predicting the future for centuries untold (remember Miss Cleo of late-90s TV fame?). While science has yet to prove the existence of psychic abilities like telepathy and clairvoyance, what if I told you, I knew a way to predict the future that doesn’t involve the paranormal? Sales Boomerang, the #1 automated borrower intelligence and retention platform, predicts when someone in your database is ready for a loan. Ryan Kube, EVP of Production, Annie Mac notes “Being able to get to the borrower before they even know they need a loan is so important! For top performers, more than 65% of their business is from their own database. One of my top performing LOs has said that 30% of his loans come from Sales Boomerang’s Borrower Intelligence.” Find out what the future holds for you and your borrowers.

Capital markets

Huh? You don’t own a crystal ball and didn’t lock your borrower earlier this week? Unfortunately, I don’t own one either, so once the price wars begin in the mortgage space, I may need to find a new career. I was thinking being a rapper would be fun. What do you think of this rhyme? “When this pandemic ends, I’m gonna spend!” Apparently, many others are thinking the same thing, and that is why mortgage rates went up yesterday.

Investors are okay if the move is driven by inflationary expectations, a “technical” move. But many believe rates have moved too far too fast. Will the Federal Reserve move from “being comfortable” with rates going up to “monitoring” rates going up? Due to the pandemic our government is incurring huge deficit spending, with trillions of dollars more of stimulus coming. Someone has to pay for that. Every day we have a growing Federal Reserve balance sheet as the New York Fed continues to purchase Treasury and MBS. Fortunately, as older, higher interest rate debt matures, it is being refinanced by our government at lower rates, and this lower debt service is delaying the impact of the government spending. But the markets are certainly looking ahead to the pent-up spending that will happen as the pandemic (hopefully) winds down.

Yet the market is realizing that ultimately someone has to pay for it, traditionally in the form of higher taxes. On top of this, inflation concerns are emerging, especially as investors look ahead to a potentially booming economy as the pandemic winds down. The Federal Reserve has made it clear that it can change course quickly based on economic conditions.

The yield on the “benchmark” risk free U.S. 10-year T-note hit 1.61 percent yesterday. The bond market experienced a relentless sell off with the 5-year and 10-year Treasury notes rising +19 bps and +13 bps, respectively, largely due to inflation fears. We also saw awful demand on the $62 billion 7-year Treasury note auction. The selloff wasn’t limited to just the U.S., with global bonds experiencing the same fate as equities were routed in the risk-off trade. Both Atlanta Fed President Bostic and St. Louis Fed President Bullard opined on the move, but neither was concerned about rising bond yields, with Mr. Bullard saying that the move is “probably a good sign,” and Mr. Bostic downplaying the need for the central bank to get involved.

I got my hands on one of MCT’s client exclusive MarketFlash updates yesterday and found useful recommendations for the deteriorating market, and the new UM30 2.5 market coupon. Lenders should keep up with rising optimal hedge coverage due to rising pull-through, decreasing borrower rate attractiveness, and increasing weighted-average stage in pipelines as lock volume falls. With loans out of the money, be sure to enforce lock policies and prohibit free extensions. Take advantage of AOTs for their cash flow benefits. Watch out for possible decreases in Fed purchases of the 1.5 coupon, and avoid cross hedging that production with TBAs in the 2 coupon. (While live MarketFlash updates like this are exclusive to MCT clients, you can still join the MCT newsletter for market analysis and timely webinars.)

The Primary Mortgage Market Survey from Freddie Mac for the week ending February 25 saw the 30-year and 15-year fixed rates jumping 16 bps and 13 bps versus the prior week to 2.97 percent and 2.34 percent, respectively. The Mortgage News Daily 30-year rate jumped 13 bps yesterday alone to 3.27 percent. Where’s that dang crystal ball?

Today’s economic calendar is already underway with personal income and spending for January (+10.0 percent, +2.4 percent, both strong), and the trade deficit ($83.7 billion). We’ve also received Core PCE Prices (+.3 percent: no major inflation). Black Knight reported that the number of mortgages in active forbearance rose for the second week in a row, climbing by 21k since last Tuesday, pushing the total of those in active forbearance back up above 2.7 million, or 5.1 percent of all mortgage-holders. Later this morning brings February Chicago PMI and final February Michigan sentiment. Today’s month-end MBS purchase session sees the Desk conducting the last two operations on the current schedule totaling up to $5.3 billion. In the afternoon, the NY Fed Desk will release a new schedule covering the March 1 to 11 period that is expected to total $56 billion or $6.2 billion per day. We begin the day with Agency MBS prices better/up by .375-.50 versus Thursday night and the 10-year yielding 1.46 after closing yesterday at 1.52 percent.

Riddle of the Day:
Michael J. Fox has a small one.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has a big one.
Madonna doesn’t have one.
The Pope has one but doesn’t use it.
Clinton used his all the time.
Bush is one.
Mickey Mouse has an unusual one.
Liberace never used his on women.
Jerry Seinfeld is very, very proud of his.
Cher claims that she took on 3.
We never saw Lucy use Desi’s.

What is it?

The answer is: ‘A Last Name.’ Now get back to work on this last business day of February.
