Market mechanism
Credit cycle health and liquidity transmission via bank balance sheet capacity.
Extended read
The Q2 earnings season for major banks will serve as a litmus test for the broader economy. With the Fed maintaining a hawkish stance, the focus is on how long banks can sustain high Net Interest Income (NII) before deposit betas catch up or credit quality deteriorates. Wells Fargo is of particular interest as it operates without its long-standing asset cap for the first time since 2018. This allows for significant balance sheet expansion that could decouple its performance from peers.
