U.S. Sanctions Russia’s Rosbank, Subsidiaries of VTB
  + stars: | 2022-12-15 | by ( David Smagalla | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +3 min
The U.S. government has sanctioned Russian lender Rosbank and has expanded sanctions against VTB, one of the country’s largest banks, in a move to further limit the Russian government’s efforts to fund its war in Ukraine. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on Thursday announced sanctions against 17 subsidiaries of VTB, building on sanctions placed on the parent company in February, after Russia invaded Ukraine. The Treasury cited the importance of Rosbank to the Russian government, given that the lender is considered a “systemically important credit institution” in the country. The U.S. sanctions follow similar sanctions of Rosbank by the U.K. and Canada earlier this year. Nornickel wasn’t included in the State Department’s sanctions package.
WASHINGTON—The U.S. is moving to impose sanctions on one of Russia’s wealthiest men, Vladimir Potanin , as well as on some of his financial companies, U.S. officials said, as Washington looks for ways to further clamp down on Russia amid the war in Ukraine. The action, which could be announced as early as Thursday, is expected to include sanctions against Mr. Potanin, his wife Ekaterina Potanina and a yacht he owns, these officials said. Also on the list, according to these officials: Interros, an investment holding company Mr. Potanin controls, and Rosbank, which Interros bought from Société Générale SA earlier this year.
Banks still have to mark the loan to its market value on their books and set aside funds for losses that are reported in quarterly results. The deliberations of how some of these banks are thinking about accounting for these losses have not been previously reported. Three banking industry sources said the remaining $3 billion, which is unsecured, could lead to steeper losses for the seven Twitter banks. Some market participants expect the losses from the debt to be significant unless market conditions improve. Some $35 billion to $40 billion of such loans are stuck on banks' books, according to two fixed income bankers.
Everyone's talking about how the Fed's rate hikes have sent mortgage rates skyrocketing. But even as mortgage rates have climbed above 7%, my colleague Alcynna Lloyd and I report that there's more to the story. The general gist is that the surge in home prices — fueled by the low rates of the pandemic era — hasn't come down as fast as mortgage rates have come up. There's a saying, "all real estate is local." This self-made millionaire who made his money investing in real estate isn't interested in taking out a mortgage right now.

The rally in the US dollar this year is likely to be closer to an end and headed toward "trendless trading," Societe Generale said Thursday. The "drivers of economic outperformance are fading" for the greenback, which has risen to a 20-year high against key rivals. "So far, US rates have risen further and faster than elsewhere, on the back of economic out-performance," Kit Juckes, macro strategist at Societe Generale, said in a note. That means we are close to the end of the dollar's long rally and moving to a phase of trendless trading." As the Fed has tightened, climbing US Treasury yields relative to other sovereign bond yields has bolstered dollar demand among holders of other currencies.
