Investing.com – Here are the top 5 things to know in the financial markets for Tuesday, March 21:
1.beautifulThe Fed Faces a Dilemma Between Price Stability and Monetary Stability
The Federal Reserve begins its two-day policy meeting today, with nerves on edge in light of the recent banking crisis.
Analysts such as Goldman Sachs believe the Fed will be forced to delay rate hikes given the failure of three US banks and continued pressure in the mortgage-backed securities market.
However, some analysts believe that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates, but the rate will be reduced to 25 pips because the labor market is still too hot.
Meanwhile, pressure on medium-sized regional banks appeared to have eased, with most bank stocks rising. Further calming panicked markets, Goldman Sachs is said to be considering recapitalizing a huge bailout deposit it had previously deposited with First Republic Bank (NYSE: ).
However, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have earlier downgraded the credit rating of First Republic Bank (NYSE:).
2.worldBank stocks rebound, Credit Suisse post-shockrelief
The global market is gradually calming down. Before the weekend (19th), UBS announced the acquisition of Credit Suisse, which calmed the market, especially European bank stocks, because European regulators made it clear that they would follow the Swiss example and put shareholder rights in bond payments before people.
Later, the ECB’s head of banking supervision, Andrea Enria, is due to speak, which is expected to provide further reassurance to markets.
The Swiss government previously cleared Credit Suisse’s AT1 bonds to zero in the Credit Suisse bailout transaction, causing bondholders to lose their money, shocking the market and triggering a sell-off of AT1 bonds in other markets. And in order to move the rescue measures forward, the Swiss government hastily amended the law at that time, bypassing the approval of Credit Suisse’s shareholders and creditors. There are fears that this disregard for the rules will spread, undermining the rights of creditors.
