By Anonymous

For a EU / ECB summary, please see previous post: Euro Summary

From Fannie Mae:

Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) reported a net loss of $11.5 billion in the first quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss of $15.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009. Including $1.5 billion of dividends on our senior preferred stock held by the U.S. Department of Treasury, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $13.1 billion ...

Foreclosure activity is increasing:

We acquired 61,929 single-family real estate-owned properties through foreclosure in the first quarter of 2010, compared with 47,189 in the fourth quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2010, our inventory of single-family real estate owned properties was 109,989, compared with 86,155 as of December 31, 2009.

Greg Morcroft at MarketWatch reports:

Fannie sees no profits for the "indefinite future" ... financial sustainability uncertain.

Fannie Mae reported that the rate of serious delinquencies - at least 90 days behind - for conventional loans in its single-family guarantee business increased to 5.59% in February, up from 5.52% in January - and up from 2.96% in February 2009.

"Includes seriously delinquent conventional single-family loans as a percent of the total number of conventional single-family loans."

It does appear the increases in the delinquency rate have slowed.
