According to the National Association of Realtors, these government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) guarantee about 70% of U.S. mortgages. Any alterations to their structure could send shock waves through the housing market, impacting everything from mortgage rates to affordability.

</ul>
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been under federal control since 2008 when the financial crisis pushed them into conservatorship. They are critical to the housing market because they buy mortgages from lenders, package them into securities and sell them to investors.&nbsp;
This process allows banks to maintain the liquidity they need to continue issuing loans that help millions of Americans obtain long-term fixed-rate mortgages.
But it's not just a question of turning control over to private entities. This move could remake the entire housing finance system. Supporters, including former Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) director Mark Calabria, say it's essential.&nbsp;
He has emphasized that systemic issues within Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac need to be addressed during conservatorship.&nbsp;

Speaking at the 2019 National Association of Realtors legislative conference, Calabria noted, &#8220;What Congress decided in HERA [the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008] was, if … Fannie or Freddie got in trouble, they enter conservatorship, we fix the problem and they move on.&#8221;
Privatization advocates argue it would reduce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40856616/irs-reclaims-1-3-billion-in-back-taxes-from-wealthy-americans-is-this-just-the-beginning">taxpayer</a> risks and bring competition into the market. Critics, however, caution that it could come at a high price for borrowers. Without the implicit guarantee from the government, investors might grow more wary of mortgage-backed securities, forcing up yields and, ultimately, mortgage rates.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, is one voice of concern. "House prices would tumble and the 30-year fixed mortgage rate could surge past 7%," Zandi told Fortune in a past interview.
Those concerns aren't abstract. Mortgage rates are already rising. Freddie Mac tracked the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.84% on Nov. 21, 2024. That's the highest rate since July and an ominous signal for a market struggling with affordability.

Housing prices aren't providing relief, either. According to the National Association of Realtors, the median home price has skyrocketed to $422,100, a 2.9% rise in the past year. For many Americans, the dream of homeownership seems increasingly out of reach.
And it's not just homebuyers who are paying attention. Investors have been responding to the buzz surrounding privatization. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares rocketed earlier this month on speculation but have since taken a hit. Analysts at Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods downgraded both stocks, citing fears of dilution risks in a possible transition.
The larger housing market makes things even more complicated. In December 2020, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported a record-low housing supply of 1.9 months. While inventory rose to 4.2 months by August 2024, it still falls short of demand. With inventory sparse, rising borrowing costs and uncertainty about the fates of Fannie and Freddie, the stakes couldn't be higher.
"It's really not a question of whether change will happen, but how," Michael Fratantoni, chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers Association, said recently in a press statement. "The fate of housing finance is up for grabs."

The U.S. dollar has entered its most historically bearish month of the year, with December often marking a period of seasonal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/currency-etfs">weakness for the greenback</a>.
Over the past half of a century, the U.S. Dollar Index — as tracked by the the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) — has declined by nearly 1% on average in December.
With a 7-year streak of losses in this month and new political and economic catalysts on the horizon, could this December finally be different?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">December: A Month The Dollar Dreads</h2>
Data doesn&#8217;t lie. 
Dating back to 1984 — a 40-year period — the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), has averaged a 0.91% decline in December, with gains occurring just 35% of the time, according to seasonality data from TradingView.
December hasn't been kind to the greenback since 2017 either—the dollar has closed in the red every year for the last seven Decembers.
Some of the worst December declines for the dollar include 2008, with a drop of 6%, 1991, with a drop of 5.3% and 2000 with a drop of 5.1%. 
Occasionally, the dollar does buck the trend, as seen in 2009 (+4%) and 2011 (+2.3%), but such outliers remain rare.
Dimitri Speck, founder and head analyst at Seasonax, said, "Seasonality also exists in the Forex market. The weakness in the US dollar at the end of the year is driven by US tax legislation."
Speck highlights how U.S. companies reduce tax liabilities by minimizing reported cash on balance sheets at year-end, shifting funds to overseas accounts. This fuels demand for foreign currencies, pressuring the dollar lower. 
&#8220;Many US-based companies save on their tax liabilities by reporting small amounts of cash at the balance sheet date at the end of the year. It can be worthwhile to shift money to the accounts of overseas subsidiaries. The resultant additional demand for foreign currencies affects the exchange rate,&#8221; he said.
Yet, &#8220;after the turn of the year, the tide immediately turns,&#8221; as companies transfer funds back to the U.S., leading to a January recovery for the greenback. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Resilient Dollar In 2024</h3>
In 2024, the dollar has defied gravity.
The DXY index is up 5% year-to-date, staging a remarkable comeback after its 2.1% decline in 2023. 
Notably, the recent rally has been turbocharged by an eight-week winning streak between October and November, marking the greenback's third-strongest two-month gain since 2016.
Third-quarter GDP grew at an annualized 2.8% and the labor market remaining robust.
These factors give the Federal Reserve room to implement only gradual rate cuts, rather than a more aggressive easing path, a sentiment echoed recently by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Tug-of-War Between Fundamentals and Seasonality</h3>
Despite the dollar's momentum, December's seasonal headwinds loom large. 
According to Seasonax, the greenback tends to lose ground especially quickly in the second half of the month, before regaining strength in January.
Will the dollar's 2024 strength be enough to break the December curse? Or will year-end tax-driven flows overpower bullish momentum?
For now, history—and some clever accounting tricks by U.S. corporations—suggest December could once again deal a blow to the greenback.
Dollar dominance is also vulnerable if BRICS nations decide to trade in non-dollar currencies. President-elect Donald Trump has threatened the alliance with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42257504/trump-threatens-brics-nations-with-100-tariffs">100% tariffs if it de-dollarizes</a>.

What Happened: AMC on Monday said the five-day Thanksgiving holiday period was the biggest and busiest in AMC history by attendance, admissions, revenue and food and beverage. 
&#8220;This 5-day Thanksgiving period in 2024 was one for the ages. At AMC theatres in the United States and abroad, AMC welcomed more than 8 million moviegoers from Wednesday through Sunday. In the U.S., AMC shattered record after record for attendance, admissions revenue, food &amp; beverage revenue and total revenue,&#8221; said Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC. 
Thanksgiving Day was the busiest in company history based on attendance and admissions revenue. Black Friday marked the highest attendance Black Friday in AMC history and the highest revenue total on a Friday ever. AMC also noted that this year&#8217;s Black Friday was the second highest total revenue day in company history.

The strength was driven by a strong opening weekend for &#8220;Moana 2,&#8221; as well as continued strong performance from &#8220;Wicked,&#8221; &#8220;Gladiator II&#8221; and &#8220;Red One.&#8221;
&#8220;Beyond these blockbuster movies, there were so many appealing films – big, medium, and small – drawing great crowds to our cinemas this holiday period,&#8221; Aron said. 
AMC said 8.8 million moviegoers attended a movie at AMC theaters in the U.S. and at ODEON Cinemas internationally during the Wednesday through Sunday Thanksgiving period.
