picking up the old discussion as we parse the new not-a-bailout bailout:

Mr Hootington posted:

Why not? The fear was banks blowing up, but they set up a program to stop that. The only people who suffer with rate hikes is the consumer now.

I think this is kinda spot on? The fed has a dual mandate: low inflation and low unemployment.

They're gonna meet and observe low unemployment and high inflation.

Like I GUESS they might say "uh oh scared of banks going kapow" but... they acted forcefully to stop that. I'd put money on a 0.25% increase or more in 10 days TBH.

no, the stock got deleted with a space laser at like 11am eastern Friday. Anyone holding stock at that time is now holding space laser ash.

so does the FDIC have a ton of discretion to choose how it uses the premiums bank pay into it? I always thought their mandate was pretty much set, but maybe they can just decide "lol all deposits are covered for now, because we can"????

FDIC understanders, please explain

There's a special clause that says if enough feds get together, close their eyes, and chant "systematically important" than can use unlimited money to do anything. So they did.

That's numberwang!

Honestly you could argue First Republic (shareholders) got the best NotABailout deal here. The new lending facility is gonna fix a lot of their problems, which should make their stock soar?

Does the magic lending window only apply to like, securities a bank already owned as of market close Friday?

Because if not isn't there just crazy arbitrage money to be made by a bank hoovering up all the old 20 and 30 year treasuries for like 40% off face value, getting a loan against them, using the first 60% of the loan to... buy more... and stashing the other 40% in short term treasuries yielding 5%. Risk free baby!

Yeah even if the bank failures end here it means the fed can’t just keep raising rates without breaking some major poo poo

I don’t expect tomorrow to be Black Monday but this does feel like beginning of a major reckoning

sure they can. One of the major risks to raising rates too much or too quickly was the unrealized losses that would pile up on bank balance sheets.

As of Sunday March 12th, there's no such thing as an unrealized loss on a bank's balance sheet due to interest rate moves - they can immediate cash against them at their old value. It's effectively a 600 billion dollar stimulus lmao just lmao.

jpow could set rates to 25% tomorrow and the banks wouldn't blow up :toot:

are you referring to a bailout, which they will assume is guaranteed?

otherwise I don’t get it

Vox Nihili posted:

the bank has to go broke and get taken over by the government for it to happen, the bankers themselves still lose all their money

I’m taking about the new BTFP (Bank Term Funding Program) that the FDIC is rolling out for not yet failed banks. It’ll allow the ~600 billion plus in unrealized losses for live banks to Not Matter because they can get loans from the feds equal to those unrealized losses while they wait out their bond maturities.

First Republic is eating deep poo poo pre market, and I can’t explain it. Their capitalization actions combined with the FDIC’s magic new BTFP bucks should get them off of death row.

Other bank stocks are hurting too and again, they got a sneaky bailout in the form of being able to borrow a buck on 50 cents collateral which is a pretty nice thing! What gives?

Either the markets are being silly, or the medicine has not killed the infection.

Actually, even if the market is wrong, if that wrongness still leads to bank runs and there will be blood.

Here we go!

Joe Biden told me it wasn’t a bailout, Jack. You see the investors in the fart app, the fart app, and 6 other banks that deserve to be put to the sword all get a secret stash of new money just for them to survive something the rules said should kill them. But it’s not a bailout because (cut to commercial)

if you're a billionaire you should have your billions in short term us treasuries. no bank risk and 4.5% interest dummy.

Bank accounts aren't GOOD. They suck. They're just necessary for payroll and poo poo.

fed funds is 4.57 as of friday and IIRC declared in the 4.5 - 4.75 range. Yields will girate but short term ones shouldn't dip meaningfully below that. I see a 1 month quote at 4.489 right now
