This excerpt taken from the C 10-Q filed Aug 1, 2008. Loss on Mortgage Servicing Right (MSR) Asset and Related Hedge (MSR-related MTM) The U.S. mortgage business recorded a net pretax loss of approximately $745 million in the second quarter of 2008, resulting from a gain of approximately $1.4 billion on the mark-to-market on the MSR, offset by a decrease of $2.1 billion in the value of the related hedge (collectively, the "MSR-related MTM"). During the second quarter of 2008, the net MSR position was impacted by: (i) high volatility in the markets causing divergence between the hedge and the related asset and continuous rebalancing of the hedge and (ii) constraint on further upward valuation of the MSR. |
