The subprime mortgage crisis is poised to get much worse.
次贷危机正朝更糟糕的局面发展.
Next year, interest rates are set to rise —— or "reset" —— on $362 billion worth of adjustable-rate subprime mortgages, according to data calculated by Bank of America Corp.
根据美洲银行（Bank of America Corp）的计算数据, 明年, 涉及3620亿USD的可调整利率次贷的利率将被提高或调整.
While many accounts portray resetting rates as the big factor behind the surge in home-loan defaults and foreclosures this year, that isn't quite the case. Many of the subprime mortgages that have driven up the default rate went bad in their first year or so, well before their interest rate had a chance to go higher. Some of these mortgages went to speculators who planned to flip their houses, others to borrowers who had stretched too far to make their payments, and still others had some element of fraud.
在今年涌现的房贷无法偿还和丧失抵押赎回权的背后,很多帐户还被描述成调整利率是主要的工作, 这远非整个局面的全貌. 许多使房贷无法偿还的次贷抵押在他们的第一年已经变得更差,或者在不久前它们的利率已经有机会变得更高. 这些次贷抵押一部分在准备计划抛售他们的房子的投机者手里, 一部分在已经承受很高支付压力的借贷人手中, 还有一部分具有欺诈因素.
Now the real crest of the reset wave is coming, and that promises more pain for borrowers, lenders and Wall Street. Already, many subprime lenders, who focused on people with poor credit, have gone bust. Big banks and investors who made subprime loans or bought securities backed by them are reporting billions of dollars in losses.
如今利率调整潮的真正高峰已经来临, 这势必给借贷者,出贷方以及华尔街更大的痛苦.很多专注于给信用不足的人群发放次贷的出贷方已经陷入濒临破产的边缘. 许多发放次贷或者从这些出贷方购买投资证券的大银行和投资者正在报告上十亿美金的损失.
The reset peak will likely add to political pressure to help borrowers who can't afford to pay the higher interest rates. The housing slowdown is emerging as an issue in both the presidential and congressional races for 2008, and the Bush administration is pushing lenders to loosen terms and keep people from losing their homes.
调整高峰似正帮助不能支付更高利息的借贷者施加政治压力. 对2008年的总统选举和国会选举来说, 住房供给减速将成为一个问题. 布什政府已经逼出贷方放松贷款条件, 以保证人们不会失去他们的房子.
Banc of America Securities, a unit of the big Charlotte, N.C., bank, estimates that $85 billion in subprime mortgages are resetting during the current quarter, and the same amount will reset in the first quarter of 2008. That will rise to a peak of $101 billion in the second quarter. The estimates include loans packaged into securities and held in bank portfolios.
Charlotte, N.C., bank的分部Banc of America Securities 本季度将有850亿USD的次贷利率需要调整. 2008年第一季度也将有同样数量的次贷利率需要调整, 第二季度将达到峰值的1010亿USD. 这个估计包括借贷打包证券和银行持有的投资组合.
Larry Litton Jr., chief executive of Litton Loan Servicing, says resetting of adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, has recently emerged as a bigger driver of defaults. "The initial wave was largely driven by a higher frequency of fraudulent loans……and loose underwriting," says Mr. Litton, whose company services 340,000 loans nationwide. "A much larger percentage of the defaults we're seeing right now are the result of ARM resets."
Litton Loan Servicing的CEO Larry Litton Jr. 说, ARM利率的调整将是近期房贷无法偿还比率变大的一个比较大的驱动因素.“ 最初的冲击波将很大程度上来自更高频率的贷款欺诈和宽松保险的驱动.” Litton 先生说. 他的公司在全国范围内服务340,000宗借贷.“我们现金看到的一个更大的房贷无法偿还比率是ARM利率的调整的结果.”
More than half of the subprime delinquencies and foreclosures this year involved loans that hadn't yet reset, and thus were due to factors such as weak underwriting and falling home prices, according to Rod Dubitsky, an analyst with Credit Suisse.
根据瑞士信贷的分析师Rod Dubitsky先生的观点,由于诸如较弱的保险和房价下跌等这些因素的影响,半数以上的次贷不良和丧失抵押赎回权的贷款利率没有被调整.
The majority of subprime ARMs due to reset next year are so-called 2-28 loans, which carry a fixed rate for two years, then adjust annually thereafter. In a speech earlier this month, Federal Reserve Governor Randall Kroszner explained how a typical 2-28 subprime loan issued in early 2007 might work. He said the interest rate on the loan would start at 7%, then jump to 9.5% after two years. For a typical borrower, that would add $350 to the monthly payment.
大多数明年需要调整的次级ARM即是所谓的2-28贷款.这些贷款的头俩年利率是固定的,随后每年将被调整. 根据本月初联邦储备官员Randall Kroszner先生的一篇演讲, 他解释了一个发行于20007年出的典型2-28贷款是如何运作的.他说,贷款利率最初设为7%,两年后将跳升至9.5%. 对一个典型的借贷者来讲,每月将增加还贷350USD.
