Day After Deutsche Bank Admits Not All Is Well, Swiss Giant Credit Suisse Also Admits It Needs More Cash

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Not everything is "fine" in the land of European banks, in fact quite the opposite.

One day after Deutsche Bank warned of a massive $7 billion loss and the potential elimination of the bank's dividend which had been a German staple since reunification, a move which many said was a "kitchen sinking" of the bank's problems (but not Goldman, which said it was "not a kitchen sinking, but a sign of the magnitude of the challenge" adding that "this development confirms our view that the task facing new management is very demanding. Litigation issues do not end with this mark down – we expect them to persist for a multi-year period. We do not see this as a "clean up" but rather an indication of what the "fixing" of Deutsche Bank will entail over the 2015-18 period), it was the turn of Switzerland's second biggest bank after UBS, Credit Suisse, to admit it too needs more cash when moments ago the FT reported that the bank is "preparing to launch a substantial capital raising" when the new CEO Thiam unveils his strategic plan for the bank in two weeks’ time.

FT adds that "while not specifying an amount, they pointed to a poll published last week by analysts at Goldman Sachs concluding that 91 per cent of investors expect the Swiss bank to raise more than SFr5bn in new equity."

The stock price did not like it, although just like with DB, we expect the "story" to quickly become that the Swiss bank is putting all its dirty laundry to rest, so an equity dilution is actually quite positive. Incidentally, with DB stock green on the day following a dividend cut, perhaps it would go limit up if Deutsche Bank had announced a negative dividend?

The official narrative is well-known: the bank does not need the funds, it is simply a precaution ahead of new, more stringent capital requirements:

The capital is likely to be used to absorb losses triggered by a faster restructuring of the Swiss group, the people said. But Credit Suisse will also need higher capital ratios to comply with toughening demands from regulators.

 

The Swiss authorities are expected to announce an increase of minimum capital ratios over the coming months, which could prove more challenging for the bank than its better capitalised local rival, UBS. Credit Suisse’s common equity tier one capital ratio of 10.3 per cent compares with UBS’s 13.5 per cent

The real reason, of course, has nothing to do with this, and everything to do with the collapse of manipulation cartels involving Liebor, FX, commodities, bonds, equities, gold, and so on, because when banks can no longer collude with each other to push markets in any given direction, that's when they start losing money. That and, of course, the fact that central bank intervention in capital markets has made it virtually impossible to trade any more. Or as they call it, "miss capital ratios."

Expect many more such announcements in the coming weeks.

The Foreign Bank Supervision Enhancement Act of 1991 (FBSEA) switched this responsibility to the Federal Reserve. As a result, the Federal Reserve "generally" (why is that word even here? my add) must examine foreign bank branches and agencies annually. Examiners assess branches and agencies based on their Risk management, Operational controls, Compliance, and Asset quality, or ROCA for short. In addition, the Federal Reserve assesses parent banks' financial conditions to ensure that the banks can manage and support their U.S. branches and agencies effectively. In response to the increasing sophistication and diversity of banks' financial practices, examiners pay particular attention to the risk management practices and controls of both domestic and foreign banks.

"If" ("" my add) the Federal Reserve or other banking supervisors find that a banking institution has problems with compliance, or engages in unsound banking practices, they may take various measures to address the problems. In less serious cases, supervisors usually take informal action, such as requiring letters of commitment from the problem institution. In more serious cases, however, a range of legal measures may be taken, varying in severity. In the most serious cases, the U.S. activities of a foreign banking institution can be terminated, and the institution can be expelled from the United States.

It would only take one large bank to break ranks to start a flood.

When you produce nothing of real value and do not perform any real work, you will eventually go out of business.

Of course, in this case it is much worse, considering the ongoing FRAUD.

Go ahead, start the bail-ins so we can start taking fucking heads!!!!

"You expect us to turn an honest profit?!? Either allow us to commit open fraud, skim our billions, or prepare for the consequences."

I would respect DB more if they simply released this statement.

They can always sell GirlScout cookies or maybe mow some lawns, shovel snow in the winters, whatever - always ways to earn some extra cash when needed.

The day after DB says they're a few billion short and will cut/drop dividends it's stock shoots up?

Wall street must assume moar is coming... plus they get the dividend money.
