Bank Treasurers Go Pond Fishing
This month’s newsletter covers speculation on the timing of the first rate cut, the positives and negatives of an inverted yield curve and higher for longer, the effect of QT on reserves and bank deposits now that the balance of the RRP appears to have hit a floor, and why rate cuts will not necessarily lead to lower deposit rates.

Bank Treasurers Remember Gerry Corrigan
This month's newsletter is dedicated to the memory of Gerry Corrigan, the sixth president of the New York Fed from 1985 to 1993, known as the Fed's plumber, the go-to guy Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan turned to in a financial crisis.

Bank Treasurers In Neutral
Wonders never cease in the bank treasury world, what with earthquakes in the metro NYC area to eclipses of the sun, but surely the sudden flattening of the yield curve this month, which is now half as inverted as it was last month, must stir the imagination of even the most experienced bank treasurer. This month’s newsletter pulls back the curtain on key talking points in the bank treasury world, explaining why a neutral balance sheet is not risk-free, why neutral, risk-free interest rates may not exist, why bank treasurers should never count on liquidity to be there when they need it, and why regulators trying to prevent liquidity problems in the banking system with pre-positioned collateral at the discount window may make bank treasury even more complicated than it already is.

Bank Treasurers Beware The Ides Of March
On the first anniversary of the crisis last March, this month’s newsletter looks at the unique circumstances and mistakes that ultimately led to the failure of SVB and lessons learned. One of those lessons is to beware of lessons learned, especially when they are based on “flawed, post-mortem reviews,” as Fed Governor Bowman argued this month. Even if the Basel 3 Endgame proposal looks like it is headed for a delay, our bank treasury contacts tell the newsletter that bank supervisors are already tightening guidance. A particular NYC regional bank was likely a victim of their new hardball approach. On a positive note, banks see stabilizing trends in their deposit balances and pricing and uninsured depositors are not in crisis mode anymore. However, most also believe that unless rates go back to 0%, depositors are not going to shift back to checking levels held as recently as two years ago, when noninterest-bearing deposits in the system equaled 30% of total deposits, compared to 23% last quarter.

Bank Treasurers Look Through The Accounting
This month’s newsletter discusses how bank treasurers restructured their underwater bond portfolios last quarter when the 10-year rallied in November and December. It also explains why bank treasurers, most of whom believe they have more to fear from the Fed cutting rates by 300 basis points than raising them, are more hedged for higher rates going into 2024 than they were going into 2023.
