๐๐ผ Interesting things in the banking sector!๐ก
Washington is caving in to pressure from big banks and rethinking capital buffer rules. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell and Chairman FDIC's Martin Gruenberg expect major changes that could affect the banking sector and investors.
The new proposal would lead to 16% increase in capital levels and 20%
The proposal is under discussion in the wake of the collapse of several mid-sized banks last year, such as the former Silicon Valley Bank.
While some argue that the changes could have a negative impact on the economy and limit access to mortgages, others see this situation as a possible tipping point in bank regulation since 2008.
It's no surprise to me that banks are actively seeking to repeal these rules. JPMorgan Chase is already considering legal action if the situation does not resolve as they intend.
Most US banks started the new year with growth around 5-8 %. I find $C or Bank of America $BAC a rather interesting candidate . However, I must not forget the European banks, which have pleasantly surprised me with their performance. For example, the Polish bank Pekao $PEO$PEO.WA has appreciated since the beginning of the year by more than 17 % and now management has proposed a record dividend of PLN 19 (CZK 112), which represents 11% yield. Also interesting are Czech Moneta $MONET.PR or Komerฤnรญ banka $KOMB.PR.
