@JackFarley96@rcwhalen $GS simply didn't have the deposit inflow like the other banks in 20-22, so didn't buy these QE bonds. Made them look smart, but the lack of deposit (funding) is also hurting them now on the NIM side.
@rcwhalen $wfc's assets cap actually helped it in this regard. Most likely, will also help in the credit cycle in the near future. So being punished by the fed, was actually good
Who would knew!
@TonerousHyus @Eli_sab_eth @rcwhalen Are you sure?, I thought it was a repo facility that would take these bonds at face value. But what you are saying is that the fed will buy these bonds at a slight discount. I think that I am right, but if you, bank stocks will be through the roof tomorrow
@Eli_sab_eth @rcwhalen not QE, unless banks borrow from this new facility to buy new securities (bonds). Borrow at the fed funds rate and buy 2 year notes...
@lisaabramowicz1@elerianm@FerroTV Here is the problem with this, living with inflation at 3 to 4 % means the 10 year need to be 5 to 6%, this will crush a lot of companies when the refinancing wall hits.
@rcwhalen@IMFpubs Has MSRs gone up a lot in value? Given the sharp rise in rates, the value of MSR becomes more valuable. If so, it is good time for WFC to reduce their MSR portfolio
