Banks Fret as Regulators Push to Set Capital Levels - NYTimes.co Now one of the most consequential decisions about new restraints on the banking industry — how much more capital banks should hold in their rainy day reserves — is being decided not on Capitol Hill but far from Washington, by a committee based in Basel, Switzerland. The Obama administration is pursuing an international agreement to make banks hold significantly larger reserves, which it regards as essential to increase the stability of the global financial system. It wants to complete the negotiations, which are being coordinated by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, by the end of the year.

Viewpoint: Brazil's growing international presence 24 May 2010Last updated at 11:41 Brazil, Russia, Indian and China: a new grouping on the world stage The Brazilian government's recent mediation efforts to persuade Iran to sign a deal on enriching uranium as a way of allaying suspicions about its nuclear programme highlighted Brazil's ambition to project its influence beyond South America. Rubens Barbosa, former Brazilian ambassador to the US and the UK, offers his views on his country's growing international presence:
Mortgage Delinquencies Rose in the First Quarter Data released Wednesday by the Mortgage Bankers Association showed the mortgage delinquency rate rose in the first quarter to 9.38 percent of all loans outstanding, from 8.22 percent in same period last year. When adjusted for seasonal variations, the default rate rose over 10 percent for the first time. Seasonal adjustments are used to smooth out data in ordinary times, but in these extraordinary times the bankers’ group said it was not sure how much they could be trusted. In the first quarter the seasonal adjustments showed the delinquency rate worsened considerably. The raw data, on the other hand, indicated a marked improvement.
Delinquency tide turning? Mortgage report sends mixed signals The Mortgage Bankers Assn. said Wednesday the tide of home-loan delinquencies finally may be ebbing, with the combined percentage of home loans in foreclosure or at least one payment past due declining to 14% in the first quarter of this year from 15.02% at the end of 2009. The quarterly report on soured mortgages seemed destined to reignite the debate over whether the stabilizing economy and loan modifications were creating a lasting improvement in the housing markets. The report sent mixed signals, noted Jay Brinkmann, chief economist for the trade group. The figures showing a decline in the overall rate of troubled loans were not seasonally adjusted, while other statistics showed delinquencies increasing slightly after adjusting for seasonal factors. About half of the states saw increases in the rate of foreclosure starts on a year-over-year basis, with thelargest increases coming in Oregon, North Carolina and Maryland.

Congress to consider spending and tax measures. - May. 19, 2010 By Jeanne Sahadi, senior writerMay 19, 2010: 12:05 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Amid growing concerns about deficits, Congress will in coming weeks consider a bevy of measures that combined could increase the deficit by close to $500 billion over 10 years. And that doesn't include the big kahuna on this year's agenda: extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which could cost anywhere from several hundred billion dollars to more than $2 trillion. While it is expected that many measures will be paid for with revenue-generating provisions, the total cost of all that's on the table would not be fully offset. That's in large part because several measures are exempt from the new "pay-as-you-go" law.
Mortgage delinquencies hit 10% - May. 19, 2010 By Les Christie, staff writerMay 20, 2010: 1:22 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A dubious distinction was reached during the first three months of 2010: More than 10% of all mortgage borrowers are now behind on their payments. The delinquency rate hit a record of 10.06% in the first quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The seasonally adjusted rate accounts for all mortgages on properties that have up to four units and that are at least one payment late. The rate has been inching steadily toward this record, having ticked up almost a full point since a year go. The report contained a sliver of good news, however.

Southern California home sales fall 1% in April as fewer foreclo Southern California's housing market held its ground in April, data released Tuesday show, with prices rebounding off their year-earlier lows but sales slipping for the first time in nearly two years as the number of fast-selling foreclosure properties dwindled considerably. The median price for all Southland houses, town homes and condominiums sold last month was $285,000, a 15.4% increase from the April 2009 bottom, when foreclosures accounted for more than half the resale market. But the closely watched median — the price at which half the homes sold for more money and half for less — was unchanged from March, according to San Diego-based MDA DataQuick. Sales for the region fell 1% in April compared with a year earlier — the first decline in 22 months — indicating that the Southland's supply of cheaper, bank-owned properties is tightening when compared with last year's glut. The month-to-month drop was almost the same, 0.9% compared with March.
