REUTERS/Mike Segar/File PhotoAug 8 (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. banks fell in premarket trading on Tuesday after ratings agency Moody's downgraded 10 mid-sized lenders, reigniting investor concerns about the challenges facing the industry. Moody's also warned it may cut ratings of some of the biggest U.S. lenders, and placed six of them under review for a potential downgrade. "It is significant for U.S. growth too, as U.S. regional banks are the financing lifeblood for small and mid-size enterprises." Shares of Bank of America (BAC.N), Citigroup (C.N) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) fell more than 1%.

It's not even midyear yet, but the full gamut of scenarios has been juggled in just five months. World markets have swung from "hard landing" fears of late 2022 to the "soft landing" hopes of the new year and then even unnerving thoughts of "no landing" at all - just before the banking stress hit of March forced them to return to square one. "The economy is more resilient than the market realizes," BlackRock's Chief Executive Larry Fink said on Wednesday, adding more interest rates rises will be necessary but that he saw no "evidence that we're going to have a hard landing." A "soft landing" typically relates to the ability of the Federal Reserve and other central banks to get inflation back close to 2% targets without crashing the economy into a deep contraction with surging unemployment via extreme rate rises. If correct - and not all agree - the prospect of a sustained return to 2% inflation targets would surely turn off the seatbelt sign.

Data from China's Bureau of Statistics shows that 6 million of the 96 million 16 to 24-year-olds in the urban labor force are currently unemployed. watch nowIn a research note Monday, Capital Economics assessed that, despite losing some momentum, China's economic recovery was still progressing at the start of the second quarter, with scope for further service sector-led improvement. But we do not expect policy rate cut or major fiscal stimulus, barring a precipitous fall in exports in the coming months." Any consensus among economists as to the trajectory of fiscal and monetary policy seems to be unraveling in light of the tenuous recovery.

London CNN —One of the main jobs of central banks is to keep prices under control, allowing households and businesses to plan for the future with some certainty on what things will cost. Tolga Akmen/EPA-EFE/ShutterstockPolicymakers face difficult questions about exactly when to pause interest rate hikes. The European Central Bank’s main rate is 2%, while the Bank of England’s is 3.5%. Still, investors are becoming increasingly confident that major central banks will change course soon. “Central banks are relatively close to the end,” Sels said.

HSBC sees robust demand for wealth management in Chengdu, capital of the western province of Sichuan with more than 21 million people. The bank has already launched private bank services in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. “As a new class of HNW and ultra HNW individuals emerges from the vigorous development of Hangzhou’s digital economy, demand for international wealth management has also grown significantly,” Jackie Mau, head of global private banking at HSBC China, said in a statement. Beijing launched in late 2020 a crackdown that effectively halted Ant’s initial public offering that could have created more millionaires keen for wealth services.
