Credit Suisse was reportedly sounding out investors for fresh cash last week as it attempts a radical overhaul of its investment bank. It has since been hit by losses this year amid a slowdown in its investment banking unit as capital markets activity remains subdued. investment firm Archegos Capital led to a $5.5bn hit, and $10bn of supply chain finance funds (SCFF) linked to collapsed British financier Greensill were shuttered.

As Europe faces a dark winter and a war on the continent, Credit Suisse Group AG is facing stress in the credit default swap markets.

However, Credit Suisse Group AG qualifies as a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) and is required to disclose these G-SIB indicators on an annual basis. On Friday (September 30, 2022), Credit Suisse Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Koerner tried to calm down staff that the bank has a “strong capital base and liquidity position” and told employees that he will be sending them a regular update until the firm announces a new strategic plan on October 27, 2022. That said, I trust that you are not confusing our day-to-day stock price performance with the strong capital base and liquidity position of the bank,” he wrote.

Boaz Weinstein, the founder of Saba Capital Management pointed out that Credit Suisse's CDS prices are similar to that of General Motors, with no similar concerns raised about the car maker. Deutsche Bank credit default swaps have also risen in recent days, with some analysts raising similar questions about the financial strength of the German bank. [ in the collapse of Greensill Capital,](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/05/13/david-cameron-lex-greensill-scandal-lobbying-independent-investigation/) the controversial finance company that was advised by former Prime Minister David Cameron and failed in March 2021. However, it is understood that the Bank is satisfied that there have been no major recent developments and that speculation was driven by Mr Koerner’s statement. The lender employs around 6,000 people in the City of London and manage almost £1.4 trillion of assets. Rather than reassure, his statement rattled investors following a week in which the run on pension fund assets triggered by Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-Budget drew comparisons with the financial crisis of 2008 and the collapse of Northern Rock, and the Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers.

The reason why this chart is important is that earnings revisions from analysts typically lead earnings-per-share (EPS) trends, and EPS trends typically lead share prices. Morgan Stanley have run the ruler over the miners, in light of what's going on in China. Analysts see earnings contracting and lower their EPS forecasts, earnings per share ultimately contract in the economic environment, and share prices tank as the end result. Welcome to Charts and Caffeine - Livewire's pre-market open news and analysis wrap. The Citi research notes that if the global economy is reaching stall speed, as many expects that it is, then EPS expectations must fall and signal contraction in 2023.

Some of the most intense speculation has surrounded the future for large financial institutions Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, with both attracting market ...

“The euro area and the UK are in recession, China is in a growth recession, and the US is flirting with recession.” The attention on Credit Suisse and Deutsche is understandable given the dramatic intervention by the Bank of England in the UK bond market. The Bank of England was forced to intervene because lending for housing was starting to be hit and the rising yields had caused a potential crisis in the UK pension fund sector. However, other traders think the pessimism has been overdone and have rated Deutsche Bank as a buy and remain confident that Credit Suisse and its strong and valuable banking and wealth management platforms will provide enough of a buffer to allow it to rescue and restructure its poorly performing investment bank. The speculation saw Credit Suisse chief executive officer Ulrich Koerner last week reassure investors and staff – admitting that the bank is facing a “critical moment” but stressing that the Swiss-based financial institution has a “strong capital base and liquidity position.” You know things are getting serious when the Bank of England is forced to step in and buy bonds because the country’s entire defined benefit pensions system is put in danger because of rocketing bond yields.
