▼ + stars: | 2024-05-07 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Bonuses are poised to recover on Wall Street this year, fueled by strong equity market gains and recovery in investment banking, according to financial services compensation firm Johnson Associates. As initial public offerings come back, bonuses for equity underwriters are expected to rise 10% to 20% this year. "We are seeing almost all segments on Wall Street raising compensation", said the firm's founder Alan Johnson. Higher trading volumes are expected to increase bonuses for bond traders between 10% and 20%, and 5% to 15% higher for equity traders. Executives working at wealth management will probably have 5% to 10% higher compensation, whereas asset management and hedge fund employees are expected to receive 5% higher bonuses.

NY took Trump and his bond underwriters to court Monday, three buildings south of his criminal trial. The parties agreed to limit Trump's access to $175M collateralizing his civil fraud appeal bond. The NY Attorney General's Office had been concerned that Trump maintained some control of the cash.

The agreement reached in civil court in Manhattan essentially moves the all-cash collateral to a Trump-proof lockbox.

"KSIC is a respected, well-capitalized, Delaware-domiciled insurer that has long underwritten surety bonds and other types of insurance placed around the country," Trump's lawyers wrote. Beyond that, the insurer "has access to more than $2 billion in assets and $1 billion in equity" through its parent company, Knight Insurance Company," the filings say.

Marine insurance companies will be on the hook for much of the costs. These insurance companies are backed by insurance companies of their own – a type of business known as a reinsurer. The potential cost of insurance claims from the bridge collapse could be between $1 billion and $3 billion, analysts at Barclays wrote in a note Wednesday. “But other than that, the economic impact of what has happened will be enormous, but not recoverable from the ship,” Davies said. Maryland lawmakers, meanwhile, are drafting an emergency bill to provide income replacement for Port of Baltimore workers impacted by the bridge collapse.

Seizing assets is a common legal option when someone doesn’t have the cash to pay a civil court penalty. In Trump’s case, potential targets could include such properties as his Trump Tower penthouse, aircraft, Wall Street office building or golf courses. Trump maintained on social media Friday that he has almost $500 million in cash but intends to use much of it on his presidential run. Engoron sided with the attorney general and ordered Trump to pay $355 million, plus interest that grows daily. Some co-defendants, including his sons and company executive vice presidents, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, were ordered to pay far smaller amounts.

New York CNN —Donald Trump is facing a cash crunch as deadlines are quickly approaching to find over half a billion dollars he owes in judgments. The scramble over the past week reveals challenges Trump is facing in raising the combined judgments totaling $537 million. It’s unclear how much cash Trump has on hand. Trump offered to post a $100 million bond to cover the New York attorney general’s case, but the appeals court judge rejected it. The sheer size of the judgments raises practical questions about how the Trump could feasibly come up with the cash.

The IPO market is looking very shaky and confronted with a host of challenges that are holding it back. Regardless, recent IPO performances have been poor across the board. IPO investors cheered the advance by bidding up the Renaissance Capital IPO ETF (IPO), a basket of recent IPOs, in December, assuming the IPO market would open up. CNBC's Jim Cramer, speaking early Thursday on Squawk on the Street , highlighted another obstacle for IPO buyers: investors are getting comfortable returns elsewhere with far lower risk. When David Faber asked why the IPO market was off to such a slow start with the markets so strong, Cramer replied, "I think it's the five percent solution," he said, referring to the ocean of money still sitting in money market funds.

Even though the IPO market is heating up, CNBC's Jim Cramer said he thinks it's been "hit or miss" so far. He told investors not to buy Amer Sports, which debuted Thursday at a discount, saying the company has a poor balance sheet. "And, I've got to tell you, Amer Sports is a great example of the kind of deals I wish we weren't seeing." Saddled with $2.1 billion in debt, Amer Sports has a balance sheet that is "less than ideal," according to Cramer. Cramer conceded that Amer Sports has seen decent growth over the last few years, but much of that growth came from sales in China.

For shipping companies, costs have already increased. A composite measure of global shipping costs, the Drewry World Container Index, has more than doubled since late last year. The rise is partly tied to a shortage of empty shipping containers, caused by the up to two weeks of additional time for trips going around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. And using the Red Sea now requires expensive war risk insurance. It’s a specialty that a group of brokers and underwriters centered around London offer.

Shein is also testing whether it can endure what’s likely to be an increase in political heat on the China-founded e-commerce giant. The company has also set up operations in Ireland and Indiana and hired an array of lobbyists in the U.S. “No one should be fooled by Shein’s efforts to cover its tracks,” Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, wrote in a letter to other lawmakers.
