Based on Lehman Brothers, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae ,the financial corporation, will be required to raise a total of $75 billion of capital in case the new accounting rules takes place. With the upcoming earning reports of the second quarter there are fears amongst the investors about the crisis in the credit market. According to the president of Windham Financial Services, Paul Mendelsohn said, “there’s a fear that banks will have to go to the well again and raise more capital and that they may have to sell mortgage-backed securities again. That played a tremendous role in terms of the volatility.”
The president of Fed bank Janet Yellen is strongly being cautious due to the weak of the economy. There was a comeback of stocks post 3 major gauges that hit bear levels and saw 20% decline in comparison to its recent highs. However, this was proved unsustainable while stocks falling. Bond prices organized while bringing down the yields. In comparison to euro, dollar saw a fall but saw a gain versus yen.
The sell off of oil prices did little to remove worries of inflation and consumer spending. However, the low prices of oil led to the fall of stocks for Chevron and Exxon Mobil.
