Click to read the most recent MSR Market Update! – Mortgage rates and some rate indices have experienced a slight retreat from their end of April highs, closing the month of May with robust gains over end of Q1, 2024 levels. Mortgage rates managed to end the month of May with a decrease of about thirteen (13) basis points, while float income rates decreased by about the same amount during the same period. MSR portfolio holders should expect a moderate value decline in the range of one to four (1-4) basis points from the end of April results. However, those decreases will vary depending on portfolio vintages and other portfolio characteristics such as agency and GNMA mix. The downrate risk and its potential impact on MSR values will persist as we navigate through the balance of 2024.
