Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. 220 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: Let's continue the conversation now on the latest rate hikes 221 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: from the Federal Reserve and the continued turmoil in the 222 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: regional banking sector. If we've learned one thing over the 223 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 2: past years monitary tightening cycle, it is that there are 224 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: no guarantees. There was no guarantee that the Fed would 225 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: raise interest rates as fast as it did, and it's 226 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: not guaranteed they're now going to pause Fed chaired jer 227 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: Own pal signal the Central Bank could stop hikes after 228 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: yesterday's quarter point increase, but that the Central Bank will 229 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: remain data dependent and at the same time, the Feds 230 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: not just following the data, it's also closely watching continued 231 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: turmoil in the regional banking sector. Bill Dudley, ran the 232 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: New York Fed, is currently a Bloomberg opinion columnist. He 233 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 2: says the Central Bank should keep an eye on how 234 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 2: this turmoil unfolds, but he thinks it's also time to 235 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: own up to the way interest rate increases may have 236 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: fueled the crisis. Bill Dudley discussed that along with Jpalll's 237 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: news conference yesterday with Bloomberg's Tom Kean, Lisa Abramowitz, and 238 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: Jonathan Ferrell. Let's bring you that discussion now. 239 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 18: If they pause, is it asymmetric or symmetric? Does a 240 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 18: pause mean rate cuts to come or they can say 241 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 18: we're going to pause and we can go either way. 242 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 8: Well, I think they can pause and then continue to 243 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 8: tighten again if the data turns out to support that. 244 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 8: But obviously when they do pause, they're making a pretty 245 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 8: strong statement that they've gotten enough information that they're confident 246 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 8: that policy is sufficiently restrictive to use German policy terms 247 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 8: to bring inflation down to two percent over time. So 248 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 8: a pause is going to be a pretty significant event 249 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 8: from the Fed. Now. Obviously contact matters that we're in 250 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 8: the middle of a debt limit ceiling fight at the 251 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 8: time of the June FMC met. 252 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 19: You might take a pause for. 253 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 8: Other reasons, but I would say a pause will be 254 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 8: pretty important event. What the Fed was trying to do 255 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 8: today was say, look, we don't know if we're going 256 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 8: to pause or not at this point. The message, I 257 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 8: think in the statement and in the Prescombe was pretty clear. 258 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 8: We think we're getting close to a level that's sufficient restrictive. 259 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 8: We're not absolutely certain data's going to tell that we 260 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 8: have to do a little bit more. We're clearly not 261 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 8: going to cut yet. So I think the pushback that 262 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 8: the Fed is making is really to the markets price 263 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 8: seeing rate cuts. The FED thinks that the process of 264 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 8: getting inflation done to two percent is going to take some. 265 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 19: Time, a lot longer than what the market thinks. 266 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 18: What is a cumulative effect of where we are right now? 267 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 18: Give in how you nailed the need for higher rates 268 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 18: to fight inflation. 269 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 8: Well, we're certainly in the vicinity of what's sufficient. I 270 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 8: think in my mind whether they have to do another 271 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 8: you know, increase or two it's hard to say at 272 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 8: this point. 273 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 19: You know, we've come a long way in the last year. 274 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 8: As puppet cheer Paul said in his press covers, you 275 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 8: go five hundred basis point five percent increase in short 276 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 8: term rates. 277 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 19: That's a lot in a year. 278 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 8: And we're also starting to see some of the effects 279 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 8: of that on the on the banking system, so that 280 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 8: the FED has a whole nother source of restraint, which 281 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 8: is a credit conditions are going to tighten because some 282 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 8: banks are going to pull off. Now the hard part is, 283 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 8: he said in his press covers, it's very hard to 284 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 8: access how important that a channel is going to be. 285 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 8: My own personal view is it's going to be fairly weak, 286 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 8: because the problems that these banks face were not that 287 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 8: they went out and made bad loans. The problem that 288 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 8: these banks spaces they went out and took a lot 289 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 8: of interest rate risks. 290 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 7: Bill, were you satisfied with the explanations or the answers 291 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 7: to the questions about the supervisory of some of these 292 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 7: banking institutions that have failed, Well, I. 293 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 8: Don't think the FED is, you know, taking the full 294 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 8: responsibility for being pretty slow on this process. I mean, 295 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 8: if you go back and look at the November Financial 296 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 8: Stability port, which I did this morning, there's there's basically 297 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 8: no mention of any kind of you know, interest rate 298 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 8: risk mismatch, any prime kind of potential liquidity problem in 299 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 8: the bank. So it wasn't just a question of the 300 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 8: supervision not being more aggressive with Silicon Valley Bank. 301 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 19: I think the FED basically missed the risk. 302 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 8: Here that the posits could flow out very very quickly 303 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 8: because of the marked and market losses on some of 304 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 8: these banks balance sheets. 305 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 7: Do you think, then, Bill, they're still missing it, that 306 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 7: they don't appreciate the full extent of it, based on, 307 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 7: for example, the preliminary look that they got to the 308 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 7: Senior Loan Officer opinion survey, which seemed to indicate just 309 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 7: an ongoing trend of what they had, are then underappreciating 310 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 7: a new pressure in the market. 311 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 8: I think that his answer on the Senior Loan Officers 312 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 8: servey was that it's moving in the same direction that 313 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 8: it was upward and the tightening of credit conditions, but 314 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 8: not in a way that would suggest that the problems 315 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 8: of the banking system since mid March have led to 316 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 8: a significant further tightening of credit conditions. So I think 317 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 8: he's basically saying there's not really any new information in 318 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 8: the senior loan officers survey. 319 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 19: That was my sense of his response to that question. 320 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,359 Speaker 18: Doctor Dudley, what you just said is extraordinary. You said, basically, 321 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 18: the FED missed the ramifications of new digital technology the 322 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 18: speed with which we can move deposits out A delicate question, 323 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 18: if I may, Bill, and that is basically they want 324 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 18: Mary Daly's head. There's no other way to put it nicely. 325 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 18: You've had experience being a president of a FED. Do 326 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 18: you go after the president of any given regional FRED 327 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 18: when there's a major blow up like this? Or is 328 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 18: it much more down the food chain looking at the 329 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 18: process of supervision and regulation, I think it's. 330 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 20: A much broader issue about supervisors finding finding problems with 331 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 20: banks and then not forcing the banks to remedy those 332 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 20: problems in a timely way. The second issue here was 333 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 20: I think the FED broadly missed the fact that that 334 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 20: that this interest rate risks that they had created by 335 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 20: being very late to tighten monitary policy that they created 336 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 20: by flooding the bank with deposits by doing quantitative easing 337 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 20: that they created part of the stress and the banking 338 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 20: system that rose when they had to tighten. 339 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 8: Monetary policy by five percent in a little over a year. 340 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 8: So the Federal Reserve has some culpability here, both in 341 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 8: terms of the monitary policy policy policies that they pursued 342 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 8: over the last few years, and also on the supervisory. 343 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 21: Sid's certainly culpability. They're not really looking to go out 344 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 21: and acknowledge in a major way, that's for sure, based 345 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 21: on some of the statements we've heard. 346 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 19: They have to a degree. 347 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 8: I mean, I thought I thought the dead report from 348 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 8: Michael Barr that came out last week was what did. 349 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 19: Acknowledge that there was a lot of improvement on the 350 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 19: supervisory side that that needed to be made. 351 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 8: But I don't think the Fed has acknowledged the fact 352 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 8: that the monitary policy regime that they followed, which was 353 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 8: to be purposefully late and tightening monitary policy meant you 354 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 8: were encouraging banks to take on more interest rate risk, 355 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 8: and then those banks. 356 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 19: Got caught and the Federal Reserve heavy ring raised by 357 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 19: five hundred. 358 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 8: Basic points, you know, I mean, at the end of 359 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 8: the day, what they're trying to do is assess what 360 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 8: is sufficiently restrictive in order to get inflation back down 361 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 8: to two percent. Before the banking system problems, they thought 362 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 8: sufficiently restricted was higher than what we are today, And 363 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 8: in fact, Paul was talking about potentially even doing a 364 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 8: fifty base ap point Radhi cup not too long ago. 365 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 8: And then the banking problems hit, and so that caused 366 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 8: the BED to lower their estimate of what sufficiently restricted is. 367 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 8: So the data will inform them about what's sufficiently restrictive is. 368 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 8: If the data is really strong, they'll revive up their 369 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 8: notion of what's sufficiently restrictively. 370 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 21: Well, Bill, are they going to put more weight on 371 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 21: financial sector data or are they going to put more 372 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 21: weight on the data coming from traditional indicators. 373 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 8: Think they're going to put a lot of weight on 374 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 8: what they're seeing in terms of the labor market, wages 375 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 8: and inflation. You know, that's really where they haven't made 376 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 8: much progress yet. They're also going to probably take some 377 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 8: signal by what's having in the housing sector, because if 378 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 8: you look at the single family housing sector, it looks 379 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 8: like it's actually stabilizing. So the policy restraint that's already 380 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 8: been put in place. Looks like it's the effects of 381 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 8: that on housing are starting to feed. 382 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 21: But just a final question from us all this is 383 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 21: something my the Key's brought up over the last week 384 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 21: in my conversations with him, whether this would be a 385 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 21: nod to June two thousand and six. You obviously have 386 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 21: a deep understanding of the history of the Federal Reserve. 387 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 21: Back in June O six, they wrote in the statement, 388 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 21: the extent and timing of any additional firming that maybe 389 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 21: needed to address these risks will depend on the evolution 390 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 21: of the outlook and et cetera, et cetera, inflation and 391 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 21: economic growth implied by incoming information. Now, Bill, do you 392 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 21: think it's a deliberate nod to JUNEO O six when 393 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 21: essentially that decision ended up being a pause. 394 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 18: No. 395 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 19: I don't think they know yet. 396 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 8: I think Pow being true is very honest when he 397 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 8: said that we haven't made any decision about whether we're 398 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 8: going to pause it. I think they think that the 399 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 8: probability is highed that they're going to pad, but they 400 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 8: haven't actually got there yet. 401 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: That was former New York Fed President and current Bloomberg 402 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 2: opinion columnist Bill Dudley speaking with Bloomberg Surveillance following yesterday's 403 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: FED decision. If you missed any part of that conversation, 404 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 2: you'll be able to hear the full interview on today's 405 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: Bloomberg Daybreak podcast. Download the show every weekday morning wherever 406 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: you get your podcasts. This morning, we continue to watch 407 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: banking stress play out in the pre market, with shares 408 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: of PacWest now down about thirty eight percent. That regional 409 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: bank has confirmed Bloomberg News reporting that it is exploring 410 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 2: strategic options, including a possible sale. Assurances that the bank 411 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: has not seen unusual deposit outflows. Don't seem to be 412 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: offering assurances to investors this morning. So let's bring in 413 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: Herman Chan to get more analysis on this been analyzing 414 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: the regional banking turmoil throughout. Herman is a senior analyst 415 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 2: for US regional bank at Bloomberg Intelligence. Herman, Good morning. 416 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: What is prompting paquest to explore strategic options? What is 417 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: going on with this bank? 418 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 19: Sure? 419 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 22: So, Packwest is an institution in California. Much like SVB 420 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 22: and First Republic, it does have some exposure to the 421 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 22: tech companies, the startups, and the venture capital community. Much 422 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 22: like SVB, but to a lesser extent, so it's not 423 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 22: the entirety of its business like SVB, but as a 424 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 22: subset and that part of the business that suffers some 425 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 22: deposit outflows in the first quarter. The bank did mention 426 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 22: in March that it was looking at strategic alternatives, but 427 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 22: refrain from doing so given the market uncertainty. I think 428 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 22: that this is just another revisit of that notion that 429 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 22: it's looking to either sell itself or or sell certain 430 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 22: sets to shore if it's balance sheet, is. 431 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: That where this is going to go? Are we going 432 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: to see assets going to other institutions here? Could there 433 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 2: be other shoes to drop in the regional banking sector, 434 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: particularly out west. 435 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 18: Yeah, you look at. 436 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 10: What's happening and the market. 437 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 22: It has this mentality of shooting first and asking questions 438 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 22: later after uh the failures of really large regional banks 439 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 22: and strong institutions. 440 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 10: Before this whole banking turmoil. 441 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 22: SVB, First Republic and Signature also had some operations on 442 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 22: the west coastern California. It's it's unfortunate, but the playbook 443 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 22: for for shorts and the market terminal has been evident 444 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 22: and and it. 445 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 10: Is working out well. 446 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 22: So the market's just going down the list of potentially 447 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 22: weaker banks, and peck West is firmly in that picture. 448 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: It seems like this list is being gone down in 449 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 2: pretty rapid fashion here. When we see these kinds of 450 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: shaky situations for these banks happening almost day by day 451 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 2: here at this point, does that raise the risk that 452 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 2: we are seeing something systemic playing out here? 453 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 22: You know what, when the whole SVB situation was playing out, 454 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 22: I was thinking this was more a idiosyncratic issue because 455 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 22: SBB managed. 456 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 10: They're balancing a bit differently. 457 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 22: They had much more deposit inflow during the pandemic period 458 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 22: versus other regional banks because of who they cater to, 459 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 22: the strength of the startup market and the activity there. 460 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 22: They invested at the height of the pandemic when interest 461 00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 22: rates were zero into security mortgage backed securities, treasuries, et cetera. 462 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 22: And as interest rates rose those securities went down in value, 463 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 22: they had much more exposure to that dynamic. What's happening 464 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 22: now is that adiosyncratic nature initially has seemed to have 465 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 22: evolved to hit other banks that didn't have necessarily the 466 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 22: same amount of risk that SBB did. So it seems 467 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 22: like we need a more holistic solution from Washington, perhaps 468 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 22: to do something to really stem the nature because if 469 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 22: we've already seen the domino effect of three banks bail 470 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 22: and a few banks now teetering, so there needs to 471 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 22: be some sort of response, it seems, from government. 472 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 10: Authorities to really address the situation as a whole. 473 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: Well, we have gotten something of a response from the 474 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: FDIC of you know, calling for further cap increase in 475 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: the cap of insurance for some of these deposits. Here 476 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 2: what more can be done to provide some further confidence 477 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: in the regional banking sector. What could it look like? 478 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 10: What could it look like? I think it could look 479 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 10: like a few different areas. 480 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 22: I think the FDIC have sort of paved the way 481 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 22: with their report of changing deposit insurance, putting some options 482 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 22: on the table in terms of increasing the insurance on 483 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 22: business deposits, perhaps even a blanket insurance guarantee. 484 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 10: Across all deposits. Maybe that's something that needs to be 485 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 10: acted upon more forcefully and more quickly. Maybe government can 486 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 10: do something in terms of guaranteeing deposits for a period 487 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 10: of time to calm the markets. So that's something perhaps 488 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 10: that's on the table, and something that we're looking forward 489 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 10: to hear more about. 490 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 2: So our last thirty seconds here, what about the assurances 491 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: we heard from Chairman Powell that the First Republic takeover 492 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: can put a floor on all this.
