Home loan rates fall after U.S. pledge to fund new loans
Average 30-year fixed-rate home mortgage loans for creditworthy borrowers fell as low as 5.5 percent yesterday, from 6.4 percent a day earlier, thanks to the U.S. Treasury's pledge to finance up to $600 billion in loans via Fannie Mae and other wholesale lenders. Bloomberg said it was the biggest one-day drop in at least seven years.
