That sounds like Wall Street plumbing, but it hits home payments. The Fed's total assets are $6.74 trillion, and its mortgage-backed securities — bonds tied to home loans — fell $13.9 billion in one week.

That is one reason the 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 6.66 percent, up 8 basis points — basically 0.08 percentage point — in a week. The Fed can hold rates steady, but if it keeps letting mortgage bonds run off, homebuyers still feel the squeeze.
