The Bond Boom Few Are Talking About...
Why Smart LOs Are Moving Before the Market Does
There’s a powerful shift quietly unfolding in the financial system—one that could reignite the mortgage market and bring long-awaited relief to Loan Officers hungry for volume and margin.
📉 Here’s the headline beneath the headlines:
Scott Bessent, the incoming U.S. Treasury Secretary, is preparing to overhaul reserve requirements—allowing banks to significantly increase their investment in U.S. Treasuries.
Why does this matter to you as a Loan Officer?
Because when banks start snapping up Treasuries again, demand for mortgage-backed securities (MBS) is expected to surge—creating strong downward pressure on mortgage rates. Translation: we could finally see a rate environment that unlocks buyer enthusiasm, refinances, and real volume.
📈 What You’re Not Hearing in the Headlines:
- Banks have been hamstrung by capital requirements since the 2008 reforms.
- Bessent’s policy shift would give them freedom to re-enter the bond market more aggressively.
- That increased liquidity could spill directly into MBS markets—lowering yields and bringing mortgage rates down.
- Most people aren't paying attention yet. But everyone feels the shift coming.
