US/AMERICAS:

Mortgages are declining amid rising rates in the US. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate is now 5.4% compared to the prior week’s 5.33% average. Total volume for applications declined 6.5%, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, marking the lowest level in over 20 years. Unsurprisingly, refinances declined as well by 6% — 75% lower than the same timeframe one year prior.

Securities Regulator Gary Gensler is proposing new restrictions for trading retail stocks after Melvin Capital debacle last year. Gensler wants to boost retail trading by changing the payment for order (PFOF) practice that many brokers use, such as E*Trade and Robinhood. “I asked staff to take a holistic, crossmarket view of how we could update our rules and drive greater efficiencies in our equity markets, particularly for retail investors,” Gensler said on Wednesday. Gensler would like to see “open and transparent” trades that allow retail investors to receive better prices and level the playing field.
