Dimon said he believes that the Chinese market is no longer as lucrative as it was. Dimon has earlier warned about uncertainty in the Chinese economy hurting investor confidence and also suggested that the U.S. and China need “real engagement” on security and trade issues.

Jamie Dimon criticized the proposed capital rules on lenders as a downside for economic growth. "I wouldn't be a big buyer of a bank," the head of the largest lender quipped during a financial conference on Monday. The proposed changes would apply to banks with more than $100 billion in assets, requiring JPMorgan to hold 30% more in capital than a European lender, Dimon said. But Dimon sees growth as threatened by more than just stricter capital rules, and warned that today's economic strength shouldn't warrant expectations for a years-long rebound. "To say the consumer is strong today, meaning you are going to have a booming environment for years, is a huge mistake," he said.

Regional bank stocks, in particular, gained as much as 35% before the bond warnings and downgrades began. The higher interest rates bond analysts cited hurt profits some, but most banks' net interest income and margins were higher than a year before. The ratings actions pushed the regional bank stock index 10% lower for the month-long period ending Sept. 8, according to Morningstar (the Moody's bank warning was issued August 7). By any reckoning, the argument about banks is about two things: Interest rates and real estate, specifically office buildings. The average regional bank stock rose 8% after earnings, Morgan Stanley said, with banks beating profit forecasts by an average of 5%.

First Republic was subsequently seized by the FDIC and most of its assets sold to JPMorgan Chase.

Haley's stance on military aid to Ukraine after Russia's 2022 invasion in particular puts her at odds with much of her party's rank-and-file. The campaign is making a strategic wager, advisers said, that Haley's full-throated support for Ukraine is more popular among voters looking to move past Trump, than with the Republican Party writ large. That position puts her in conflict with rivals, Republican front-runner Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley speaks during a campaign town hall meeting in Claremont, New Hampshire, U.S., September 5, 2023.

In mid-August, approximately a week before the first Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the New York Times released a report detailing pages of proposed debate strategy for DeSantis from his super PAC, Never Back Down.

After winning reelection in May, however, Erdogan appointed a new economic team, including two accomplished bankers, signaling a turn to more conventional policies.

The bank regulator said industry profits dipped 11.3% to $70.8 billion in the second quarter, but that was primarily due to the impact of the bank failures and ensuing acquisitions. Accounting for those events, bank profits were up 5.7% compared to a year prior. The FDIC said banks saw unrealized deposits on securities increase 8.3% in the second quarter, rising to $558.4 billion. U.S. bank deposits declined for the fifth straight quarter, but only fell 0.5% in the second quarter compared to a record 2.5% decline in the first quarter.

CNN —There are two Republican primaries as an election season that defies conventional metrics and campaign trail traditions crashes into its fall stretch. Trump has already convinced millions of his supporters that he is the current legitimate president after his false claims of fraud in the 2020 election. Many of the candidates in the second tier appear to be running for the nomination of a Republican Party that may not even exist anymore.
