FAQ

Why Neutral?

While forecasted futures show potential mortgage affordability fluctuations, current rates are stable. Historical reluctance by the Fed to artificially lower rates supports a cautious stance.

How important is it?

Market reactions to Fed policies are critical for mortgage-backed investments. Although there's uncertainty, investor sentiment may shift based on government actions.

Why Short Term?

The short-term focus on economic debate may lead to new policies affecting VMBS's price quickly. However, lasting impacts depend on authority decisions regarding asset management.
