These are not strictly sub prime lenders either, Aegis is actually an A paper lender. Things are getting really bad.

Wells Fargos mortgage rates went up 2% as well.
If this continues won’t there be considerable pressure by the end of the year for the Fed to start lowering rates? Not just for consumers, but if liquidity dries up it can also start to hurt business investment (capital expenditures, MNA etc.)
