Quotes Attributed to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief
economist, Freddie Mac.
"Mortgage rates were little changed amid a week of light
economic reports. Of the few releases, real GDP was revised up
slightly to 2.6 percent growth in the fourth quarter of 2013. The
private sector added an estimated 191,000 jobs in March, which
followed an upward revision of 39,000 jobs in February according to
the ADP Research Institute. Also, the Institute for Supply
Management reported the manufacturing industry rebounded from a
soft February but was still below market consensus."
Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide
