Things are looking pretty flat this morning, but slightly lower.

President Joe Biden is expected to announce his decision on student loan forgiveness soon, potentially as early as Wednesday. Biden is expected to extend the pause on student loan debt payments while forgiving loans up to $10,000 for borrowers with yearly incomes of less than $125,000. That likely won’t be enough to satisfy advocates for slashing student debt, which totals more than $1.7 trillion in the United States.

On the mortgage front, demand is still weak, but a surprising sector of the market showed signs of a comeback. Applications for government-backed loans with lower down payments rose 4% last week. Which is potentially a sign of more first-time homebuyer activity. Housing inventory has long been tight, particularly at the lower end of the market. But demand among higher-income homebuyers has softened a bit, and the average size of home loans has declined.

U.S. futures are mostly lower, European stocks are mostly higher and Asian markets ended mostly lower.

The national average price of gasoline is down nine-tenths of a cent at $3.883 per gallon.
