The latest concern threatening regional banks started on Jan. 31, when New York Community Bancorp. reported unexpected fourth quarter loss and a large loan loss reserve against futures losses, due in part to the bank's commercial real estate (CRE) exposure. One worry is that the NYCB credit downgrade could spur ratings agencies to take a closer look at other banks, or cause clients to again pull deposits out of regional banks. Determining exactly how unique NYCB's exposure to commercial real estate is will be a key focus for investors and analysts in coming weeks. A note on Wednesday from Wolfe Research analysts focused on banks and commercial real estate showed that regional banks have in general reduced their commercial real estate exposure over the past 15 years.

REUTERS/Toby Melville/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Sluggish global growth, a higher risk of borrowers defaulting on loans and pressure on profitability mean that banks face a negative outlook in 2024, credit rating agency Moody's said on Monday. Pockets of stress in property markets in the Asia-Pacific region were also likely to continue, the report said. Moody's said in its report that it expected money to remain tight next year, lowering economic growth even as central banks are expected to start cutting rates. China's growth is also set to slow amid muted spending by consumers and businesses, weak exports and an ongoing property crunch, the report said. However, capital levels - which underpin the financial soundness of banks - are expected to broadly hold up, the report said.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury was up less than 1 basis point at at 4.63%. The 2-year Treasury yield was last trading at 5.058% after slipping four basis points. U.S. Treasury yields were little changed Monday, as investors considered the state of the economy and awaited key inflation data due out this week for indicators of monetary policy decisions ahead. On Friday, Moody's Investors Services lowered its U.S. credit rating outlook from stable to negative, citing fiscal deficits and political division as key factors. Meanwhile, several key data points that could inform the Federal Reserve's upcoming monetary policy plans are expected this week.

Nvidia is now expected to post $12 billion in data center sales in the current quarter, according to FactSet data. AMD and Intel are trying to stay relevant in the AI market, but it's a struggle.

For yield-hungry investors, preferred stocks offer a way to boost portfolio income. Preferred stocks are a hybrid asset. They have yields, which move inversely to the value of the preferred stock – the same way bonds do. "However, with bond yields rising, the place for preferred stock in a portfolio should be used sparingly." For those who want to stretch for yield and take on a little more risk, preferred stocks are another attractive possibility.
Typically, banks would sell the debt to investors and pocket an underwriting fee. Elon Musk vs TwitterThe debate, currently a topic of conversation among investment bankers and debt investors, provides a window into the havoc wreaked on Wall Street by Musk’s U-turn last week. Musk, however, conditioned his proposal on his ability to secure debt financing and now has until Oct. 28 to close on the transaction. VARIOUS OPTIONSThe debt financing package is comprised of leveraged loans, which are risky because of the amount of debt the company is taking on, as well as secured and unsecured bonds. In September, banks financing the Citrix buyout undertook a similar restructuring.
The future of Hulu continues to be an open question as Comcast and Disney still haven't agreed on terms that will settle the company's future ownership. But Comcast executives are planning on Disney buying them out — even if they'd prefer otherwise. Disney owns two-thirds of Hulu and has an option to buy the remaining 33% from Comcast as early as January 2024. Some analysts and industry watchers have speculated Comcast might try to buy Hulu from Disney rather than the other way around. Disney could have positioned Hulu as its advertising play going forward, but CEO Bob Chapek has chosen to make versions of both Disney+ and Hulu with and without commercials.
