The Week Ahead

Good morning! Welcome to a short but busy week ahead of the Independence Day holiday.

This afternoon, the Mortgage Bankers Association releases its weekly Forbearance & Call Volume Report at 4:00 p.m. ET; MBA NewsLink will provide a special afternoon issue with the results.

On Wednesday, July 1, MBA releases its Weekly Applications Survey.

Despite the short week, both the House and Senate are in session. The Senate Banking Committee even has a hearing this Tuesday, June 30, on The Digitization of Money and Payments.

Scheduled to testify:  J. Christopher Giancarlo, Senior Counsel with Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and former Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission; Charles Cascarilla, CEO and Co-Founder of Paxos; and Nakita Q. Cuttino, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law with the Duke University School of Law.

The hearing will take place remotely beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET and can be accessed online at https://www.banking.senate.gov/hearings/the-digitization-of-money-and-payments.

And in case you didn’t see it, announced all of its fall conferences—including the MBA Annual Convention & Expo—will take place online out of an abundance of caution stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
