The service will compete with private sector real-time payments systems, including The Clearing House's RTP network, and was initially opposed by big banks who said it was redundant. Unlike peer-to-peer payments services like Venmo or PayPal, which act as intermediaries between banks, payments made via FedNow will settle directly in central bank accounts. The Fed also operates a real-time payments system called FedWire, but that's reserved for large-scale, mostly corporate payments and is only operational during business hours. While the new FedNow system is for everyone, it's likely to benefit consumers and small businesses the most, analysts have said. But Fed officials have downplayed those concerns, arguing that banks have tools available to mitigate a wave of outflows.

"I am worried because we are in a deep real estate crisis. And the real estate crisis needs clear, structured and downright radical steps to fix it," Mattner said. For years, Germany's property market has been seen as a safe haven, becoming a major draw for foreign investors. Recent data shows the stress the property sector is facing as the European Central Bank hikes interest rates, with little respite in sight. The fall is "catastrophic," said Andreas Beulich, head of the Federal Association of Independent Real Estate and Housing Companies.

July 20 (Reuters) - The first of the supercharged Big Tech firms to report in this earnings season - Tesla and Netflix - seemed to underwhelm markets overnight, cutting across the enthusiastic reception for big banks and knocking back bulled-up Wall St from 2023 highs. Although electric car giant Tesla (TSLA.O) comfortably beat second quarter profit forecasts, markets seized on plans for continued price discounting and squeezed margins as a reason to drag its shares down almost 4% in overnight trading. In the fixed income world, Treasury yields crept back higher ahead of next week's Federal Reserve meeting.

Medical debtChopra said that tens of millions of Americans are battling medical debt. The crisis is compounded by debt collectors that add medical debt to credit reports as a means of coercion. The agency's crackdown on junk fees has prompted some policy changes at big banks, he added. "Many of them are getting rid of their reliance on junk fees and making their fees much more reasonable," Chopra said. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, R-Mo., has said the CFPB has "no authority" on the issue because junk fees is not a legal term.

So far the signs of revival has not translated into strong investment banking revenue, but markets see a better outlook. Goldman took $1.4 billion in writedowns in the second quarter tied to its consumer businesses and real estate investments. In discussing their earnings, Wall Street executives cited a flurry of initial public offerings as an encouraging sign that activity in capital markets will pick up after months in the doldrums. The lender was buoyed by a slight pickup in equity capital markets and a focus on its middle-market business. At Citigroup (C.N), CEO Jane Fraser warned on Friday that "the long-awaited rebound in investment banking has yet to materialize."

Big banks have released their earnings over the past few days – and it's clear that Wall Street had a good quarter. Back in March, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed after massive losses in its bond portfolio caused customers like Peter Thiel's Founders Fund to pull their deposits from the lender. That deal was one reason why JPMorgan posted record profits in the second quarter, analysts said. JPMorgan made almost $22 billion in net interest income in the second quarter, up 44% from the previous year. Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargo also all logged higher net interest income, thanks to the Fed's aggressive tightening campaign.

Goldman Sachs is the last big bank out of the gate with second-quarter earnings, and things don’t look pretty. Profit fell 58% from one year ago, to $1.22 billion. Some big news: Earnings took a big hit from Goldman’s ongoing exit from consumer lending. Also, Goldman took impairments of about $485 million related to real estate investments, much of that tied to office properties, within its asset management business. The impairments reflected properties the bank sold as well as properties the bank has marked down but not yet sold.

☆ What could crush a growing bull market? Cramer lays out potential hazards

CNBC's Jim Cramer said Wednesday that Wall Street is finally catching up to his long-held belief that the market has been bullish since inflation peaked last year. "Now, I don't know how many of these negatives would have to surface to slaughter the bull," Cramer said. Cramer pointed first to inflation as one factor that could really squash a bull market. Froth could also be hazardous to a bull market, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence, Cramer said, with investors throwing money at any company touting innovative artificial intelligence products. So many investors are only just waking up right now to the fact that a bull market even exists, which makes it mighty hard to conjure up a serious bear thesis."

REUTERS/Nacho Doce/File PhotoWASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - Big U.S. banks on Tuesday said higher interest rates had helped boost profits in the second quarter, causing shares to spike, but a pullback in consumer spending, slower loan growth and increased deposit costs may cloud the outlook for the sector. Bank of America's net interest income (NII), which measures the difference between what banks earn on loans and pay out on deposits, rose 14% to $14.2 billion in the second quarter, helping it to beat Wall Street estimates. The bank said it expects full year NII to be up about 8% at about $57 billion. That has forced some banks to offer consumers higher returns to deter them from moving their deposits to competitors. Overall, the bank's profit slipped 18% in the second quarter as Wall Street's deal-making drought stunted revenue from investment banking, although investors were cheered by executives' positive outlook for M&A.
