Don't panic: Credit Suisse is not the next Lehman Brothers (eFinancialCareers)

Junior bankers and traders who are either already at Credit Suisse or who hold offers to join Credit Suisse next year can come out of their safe spaces.

The "scaremongering" around Credit Suisse is "gross", says Weinstein in another tweet. At the very least, this weekend's events are likely to make the bank more mindful of capital conservation and less inclined to sustain a large and capital- hungry investment bank. [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) in the first instance. "It's BS," says one of the weekend panic. Credit Suisse may not be a good business, but that doesn't mean it's also very risky, he adds. Credit Suisse may be the "worst big bank in Europe" but it's not about to go under, said one. [Financial Times ](https://www.ft.com/content/c62bea1f-2929-4473-838d-665dc6c45f83)says Credit Suisse has spent the weekend reassuring investors that all is fine. "Credit Suisse has been de-risking and now has one of the safest balance sheets in the market. Is General Motors also on the bring of failing? Fortunately, Credit Suisse itself isn't the only one offering reassurance. Where did the rumour of Credit Suisse's imminent demise come from? So say some of the most knowledgeable figures in the industry, many of whom actually did witness several banks going under in 2008.

[ASX: NCM](/stock_codes/asx-ncm)) and Northern Star ( [ASX: NST](/stock_codes/asx-nst)). Written by Hans Lee (Mondays - Thursdays) and Chris Conway (Fridays). [Chris Conway](https://www.livewiremarkets.com/contributors/chris-conway-4adcdb2d-4420-4352-a849-19d20ded0144) wrote today's report. 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. There has been plenty of movement around Credit Suisse over the weekend. These CDS offer protection against Credit Suisse defaulting. Some analysts are saying it won't be enough, however. - NASDAQ - 10575 (-1.51%)

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.

At the end of the second quarter, Credit Suisse capital levels and liquidity position looked "healthy," according to JPMorgan's Kian Abouhossein.

"We understand the nature of the concerns, but the current situation is night and day from 2007 as the balance sheets are fundamentally different in terms of capital and liquidity, and we struggle to see something systemic," Horowitz wrote in a note published Sunday. As for the risks of financial contagion from Credit Suisse to other global banks — a hallmark of the 2008 financial crisis — Citigroup 's Keith Horowitz expressed confidence in the capital levels of big American banks. "We think asset sales alone are unlikely to be the solution to the potential capital shortfall problem, but could be a first step and buy time until shares recover," Bocahut wrote.

Last week, Credit Suisse said it’s working on possible asset and business sales as part of its strategic plan which will be unveiled at the end of October. Still, what the bank called a “vicious circle” of declining revenue and rising funding costs took years to reverse. Analysts at KBW estimated that the firm may need to raise 4 billion Swiss francs ($4 billion) of capital even after selling some assets to fund any restructuring, growth efforts and any unknowns. The lender is currently finalizing plans that will likely see sweeping changes to its investment bank and may include cutting thousands of jobs over a number of years, Bloomberg has reported. The firm’s 2021 annual report said that its international regulatory minimum ratio was 8%, while Swiss authorities required a higher level of about 10%.

Explainer: Credit Suisse stuck in spotlight ahead of strategy shift (Reuters)

Credit Suisse saw sharp falls in its shares and bonds on Monday as markets put the bank under intense scrutiny.

"Asset sales will help but 4 billion Swiss francs is likely to come in the form of a highly dilutive capital raise. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, it has grown to become the second-biggest lender in Switzerland and one of the biggest banks in Europe. Since its foundation in 1856, Credit Suisse has played a central role in the history and development of Switzerland. Credit Suisse has said it wants to strengthen its wealth management franchise, scale back its investment bank into a "capital-light, advisory-led" business, and evaluate strategic options for the Securitized Products business. A spying scandal forced then-CEO Tidjane Thiam to quit in 2020, and Switzerland's financial regulator said Credit Suisse had misled it about the scale of its surveillance. The Swiss bank has insisted its capital and liquidity are strong, saying it will have more to say about a strategic revamp when it releases third-quarter results on Oct.
