Alarm bei US-Regionalbanken: Wall Street wird nervös: Banken geraten wegen Kreditausfällen unter Druck (Wallstreet-Online)
|
|
Die US-Regionalbanken Zions und Western Alliance müssen hohe Abschreibungen hinnehmen, die Aktien fallen zweistellig. Die Wall Street reagiert nervös.. --- "Der Markt reagiert äußerst nervös auf kreditbezogene Verluste", kommentierte Jed Ellerbroek von Argent Capital Management gegenüber CNBC. "Nachrichten von Regionalbanken treffen den Sektor hart, kleine Finanzwerte stehen heute unter Druck." --- Die Nervosität folgt auf die Insolvenzen zweier Autozulieferer, die Zweifel an lockeren Kreditvergaben, insbesondere im wenig transparenten Private-Credit-Bereich, geweckt haben. JPMorgan-Chef Jamie Dimon warnte kürzlich, dass auf die Pleite von First Brands und Tricolor Holdings weitere Fälle folgen könnten. "Wenn man eine Kakerlake sieht, gibt es wahrscheinlich noch mehr davon", hatte der einflussreichste US-Banker gesagt und damit große Diskussionen ausgelöst..

Regional Banks Crash As More Credit "Cockroaches" Emerge
Just when the market was starting to finally freak out - with a one month delay - about the Tricolor and First Brands bankruptcy following yesterday's fingerpointing session between JPM's Jamie Dimon and various private credit firms in which both accused each other of harboring more credit "cockroaches", this morning the credit freak out went to 11 as two regional US banks crashed after they both disclosed problems with loans involving allegations of fraud, adding to concern that more cockroaches are indeed emerging in borrowers' creditworthiness.
Shares of Zions Bancorp plunged 10% after it disclosed a $50 million charge-off for a loan underwritten by its wholly-owned subsidiary, California Bank & Trust, in San Diego. And Western Alliance Bancorp tumbled as much as 11% after it said it's dealing with a borrower that failed “to provide collateral loans in first position.” i.e., there was fraud, just like in th...

WTF Is Going On...
The markets are a little wild today and there is no specific item driving it from what we can see.
Here are a few that we are hearing

Regional bank angst - Zions and Western Alliance down big on loan losses.
US funding market stress - surging SOFR rates signaling a liquidity shortage
