This message one, the premises of the United States and Fannie Mae's stock price plummeted 18 percent immediately and 16 per cent, which began a week dropped the road.
While U.S. Treasury Secretary Paulson on the 10th in the Congress that Fannie and premises of the United States and capital adequacy. The two companies subsequently issued a statement saying that the current financial situation of the company fully able to cope with the current real estate market crisis.

The loan-to-be dark clouds dissipate over time
When the U.S. government for the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and premises of the United States and much suffering financial hardship, the U.S. financial markets have added a new block.
Just three days ago by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to take over the California IndyMac Bank (IndyMac Bank FSB), a credit crisis in the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history commercial banks and the second largest financial institutions were closed after 14 days The stock market, many banking stocks suffered heavy losses.

Headquarters in Cleveland's National City Bank (National City Bank) fell 27 percent, to 3.26 U.S. dollars, although the bank said it remained sufficient regulatory capital and no unusual deposits and creditors, but its shares still to create a 20 Low.
Fannie and in the premises of the United States Bankruptcy challenge encountered at the same time, some mortgage bond business involving a large number of institutions the situation is worrying. Analysts worry that the current number of investment banks face the same threat of bankruptcy, and Fannie and premises of the U.S. bankruptcy may have the tremendous impact, if many large investment banks have closed down, to the U.S. financial markets will bring total combat.
All seem to be in that situation, the loan-to-crisis far from over, and the result is moving in the direction of more deterioration.
"The loan-to-the impact of the crisis will be very far-reaching, at least two years to three years time to digest." This reporter interviewed the Ministry of Commerce Institute of the Americas and Oceania Division, Dr. Wang said, but he considered that the "deteriorating" to describe the Loan-to-crisis status quo is not appropriate. Deterioration is vertical, and now the U.S. economy is the issue of the loan-to-horizontal transfer the result of the crisis. Shenru fingers like water, even if removed, the bellows will extend very far. The source of the 2 million mortgage borrowers not changed, the loan-to-crisis does not exist the possibility of deterioration.
Wang believes that the United States premises Fannie crisis in the shortage of funds, is in relieving the initial loan-to-the impact of the crisis. The loan-to-the beginning of the crisis the most difficult time, the Government took the initiative to relax the capital requirements of the two companies, is the hope that the premises of the United States and Fannie Mae mortgage lending more support to participate in the securities market, a faster solution to the crisis, this will inevitably increase the premises The United States and Fannie Mae's financial risk, the Government will not let these two "meritorious of the Hill" of the crisis facing bankruptcy. Therefore, the premises by the United States and Fannie bankruptcy brought about financial instability is unlikely.
"The issue of capital market entities to the market often layers of the release." Wang said, the mortgage loan crisis led to shortage of funds in financial institutions, the Government will intensify efforts to ease the capital injection, a depreciation of the dollar, prices will go up , The ultimate impact will be transferred to the consumer market. "The Government will continue to resolve the crisis in the loan-to-affected areas of the various issues, this process may be prolonged and 23 of time."
