Radian Group Inc. (RDN ) rose $1.46, or 6.3 percent, to $24.69 in trading before U.S. exchanges opened.

Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), the two largest U.S. home-loan companies, asked regulators to allow them to take on more mortgage assets, helping pour money into the housing market, according to a person with knowledge of the request.
