Banks Have a Big Commercial Real Estate Problem

Fed has a liquidity program (BTFP explained below) to help banks paper over losses.

Small regional banks overleveraged in long term treasuries and were clobbered by paper losses and then bank runs.

In response, the Fed agreed to shield the banks from losses by offering swaps at par value, ignoring the losses.

Beware Market Complacency

Global bond losses are approaching $4 trillion since July. The biggest risk? Banks stuck with deteriorating bonds. 

At the end of June, there were $500 billion of unrealized bond losses at 289 U.S. banks. More than $100 billion of that may be at Bank of America. Yikes. 

In March, Silicon Valley Bank lost a measly $1.8 billion selling $21 billion in bonds, which caused a run and SVB’s implosion.

Then add commercial real-estate loans. About $500 billion a year needs to be refinanced at much higher interest rates.

New 30-year home mortgages are dancing around 8%.

The rise in yields in recent weeks had seemed unstoppable,

The fragility of the Treasury market’s advance was in full view Thursday when gains were swept away by data showing that US inflation remains elevated, and from anemic demand for an auction of 30-year bonds, despite offering the highest yield since 2007. 

Haven demand bolstered the market Friday, with escalating Middle-East warfare stoking global recession fears.

US government debt is a safe haven the way Pearl Harbor was a safe haven in 1941.
