Eight Biggest US Bank Face 19% Boost In Capital Requirements - Bloomberg

US
  • Bloomberg reports that the eight largest banks face about a 19% increase in the amount of capital they must hold following plans released by the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
  • Those with assets between $100B to $250B are seen needing as little as 5% more, according to agency officials.
  • “The FDIC and Fed will hold two separate open meetings Thursday to discuss the plans — the former at 10 a.m. and the latter at 1 p.m. Once they are formally proposed, regulators will take public comment and then must vote again to finalize the plans.“
  • The S&P 500 Banks sub-index looked through the announcement having declined into it and has since pared those earlier losses holding +0.3%.
