Federal Reserve says U.S. banks can withstand $708 billion in losses amid overhaul of capital rules
– Big banks passed: All 32 banks in the Fed’s annual stress test remained above minimum capital requirements despite a hypothetical recession generating more than $708 billion in losses.
– The Fed’s stress test scenario included a 10% unemployment rate, a 39% drop in commercial real estate prices and a 30% decline in home prices.
– The industry’s key capital measure, the common equity tier 1 ratio, fell just 1.6 percentage points during the scenario.
– The Fed said in February that it would leave the stress test buffers untouched until 2027.
“Today’s results underscore the strength of the banking system,” Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said in a release.

Bubble or blasphemy?
An 8% plunge in the high-flying U.S. chip stock index on Tuesday marked a jarring injection of volatility into mid-year trading. Memory chipmaker Micron Technology fell around 13%, reversing all its gains from the day before, ahead of its earnings update today.
For an index that had doubled so far this year, maybe it just ran out of steam, but the 10% retreat in South Korea’s chip-heavy and volatile KOSPI earlier in the day won’t have helped either.
