The US regulators announced that they would allow Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to eliminate debt balances for several borrowers whose loan worth more than their assets. The debt reduction plan would serve as a final chance for earnestly delinquent debtors to save their homes from foreclosure.
A judge ruled that the Securities and Exchange Commission could take Daniel Mudd to trial over hiding Fannie Mae's exposure to risky loans. Mudd previously appealed to have the trial dismissed over lack of evidence.
M&T Bank Corp said on Wednesday that it is in talks to settle a probe by U.S. federal authorities on its mortgage lending operations.
