Recent big-bank earnings calls revealed under-the-radar insights, including decreased mentions of crypto, uncertain deposit cost trends, and plans for excess capital due to regulatory changes. The nation's largest banks are weighing their options for utilizing the accumulated excess capital.
Big-bank earnings calls provided insights into the banking industry's current state. Crypto was mentioned less frequently than in previous quarters, with some banks remaining silent on the topic. Deposit costs have been declining, but it's unclear if this trend will continue due to the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady. The Fed's actions had previously led to a decline in funding costs for 48 publicly traded banks. Regulatory changes are expected to result in excess capital for major banks, including JPMorgan Chase, which currently has $40 billion in excess capital. Banks are considering how to utilize this excess capital, but plans will be revealed once the rules are finalized.
