New York Community Bank said Thursday it lost 7% of its deposits in the turbulent month before announcing a $1 billion-plus capital injection from investors led by former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital. The bank had $77.2 billion in deposits as of March 5, NYCB said in an investor presentation tied to the capital raise. NYCB also said it's slashing its quarterly dividend for the second time this year, to 1 cent per share from 5 cents, an 80% drop. In a little more than a month, the bank changed its CEO twice, saw two rounds of rating agency downgrades and announced deepening losses. At its nadir, NYCB's stock sank below $2 per share Wednesday, down more than 40%, before ultimately rebounding and ending the day higher.

New York CNN —Customers of New York Community Bank (NYCB) pulled $6 billion worth of deposits between February 5 and March 5, leaving the bank’s deposit base 7% lower, at $77 billion. However, the pattern is not indicative of a bank run, which these days can drain a lender of funds in mere hours. Shortly ahead of its demise, depositors at Silicon Valley Bank tried withdrawing $42 billion in one day over fears they wouldn’t be able to access their funds if the bank failed. On Thursday’s call, NYCB also announced it’s slashing its dividend to one penny a share. Increasing both means the bank has fewer funds available to lend, which as a result would limit its profitability.

New York Community Bank, the midsize lender under pressure over its real estate loans and internal management, announced an overhaul on Wednesday that included more than $1 billion in emergency cash, the addition of former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to its board and the appointment of its third chief executive in a month. The investment of more than $1 billion includes cash from Mr. Mnuchin’s private equity firm, Liberty Strategic Capital, and Kenneth Griffin’s Citadel Global Equities, among others. The bank’s new chief executive, Joseph Otting, worked closely with Mr. Mnuchin in the past. He ran OneWest Bank, then owned by Mr. Mnuchin, for five years. He also oversaw the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, one of the banking industry’s primary regulators, during the Trump administration.

Why private equity has been involved in every recent bank deal

Greg Nash | ReutersThe $1 billion-plus injection that New York Community Bank announced Wednesday is the latest example of private equity players coming to the need of a wounded American lender. Led by $450 million from ex-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital, a group of private investors are plowing fresh funds into NYCB. That happened to Silicon Valley Bank, whose failure to raise funding last year was effectively its death knell. On Wednesday, headlines around noon that NYCB was seeking capital sent its shares down by 42% before trading was halted. "With private deals, you can talk for a while, and we almost got to the finish line before there was any publicity."

After serving in the Trump administration for four years, former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is keeping his distance from the Republican former president and his campaign, according to people familiar with the matter. "Mnuchin has not been in the room," said Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who is advising Trump. A person close to Mnuchin who was granted anonymity in order to recount private conversations, said Mnuchin supports Trump's 2024 run for president. In 2016, Mnuchin was Trump's national finance chairman during his first run for the White House. For now, Mnuchin's private equity firm, Liberty Strategic Capital, takes up most of his time, people close to the former secretary told CNBC.

The impact on oil prices would be enormous with one prediction of $150 per barrel. A surge in oil prices could undo the fight against inflation and cause prices to soar again. International Monetary Fund managing director Kristalina Georgieva expressed concern on Thursday over how global oil markets would be impacted by the war. If that were to happen, they predict that oil prices would skyrocket more than 70% to $150 per barrel from just under $90 we have now. An estimated 20-30% of global oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which is controlled by Iran.

REUTERS/Mary F. Calvert Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Jennifer Wexton, a Virginia Democrat, on Monday said she would not seek reelection after doctors updated her diagnosis to a more serious condition, which she likened to "Parkinson’s (disease) on steroids." PSP is a neurological disorder that affects body movements, causing problems with walking, eye movement, and swallowing and worsens over time. The rare condition is characterized by symptoms that are similar to Parkinson's but more difficult to treat. Wexton flipped a seat held by Republicans for decades in 2018 as voters veered away from then-President Donald Trump.

Bankruptcy-bound trucking firm Yellow received a whopping $700 million in Covid pandemic relief loans three years ago after Trump administration officials pushed for it despite objections from the Defense Department. Yellow has repaid just $230 out of the $729.2 million in principal it still owes the U.S. Treasury for those loans, according to a government watchdog's report in May. The Teamsters Union, which represents Yellow workers, blasted the freight carrier in a statement Sunday and highlighted the Covid loans. The report said, "The loan's approval involved the intervention of top Trump Administration officials —potentially including the president," Donald Trump. "Secretary Mnuchin's communications confirm President Trump's interest in the loan approval," the subcommittee noted in a statement about the report.

BEVERLY HILLS, May 2 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) CEO Charlie Scharf said on Tuesday the banking industry is "extremely strong" but added he expects more volatility as market participants assess the health of financial institutions. "Talking about regional banks as one - it just makes absolutely no sense," Scharf said at the Milken Institute Global Conference. "Unfortunately, there will be a lot of volatility and turmoil," he said, adding that "the majority of the banks that we look at are still extremely strong." He did not expect more bank failures comparable to the recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank. Lazard advised First Republic Bank (FRC.N) before it was seized by regulators and sold to JPMorgan on Monday.
The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures deposits up to $250,000 per person, per account, using a fund that banks pay into. “I don’t think that’s served us well.”Some argue the US deposit insurance limit should be 100 times higher. What is deposit insurance? Deposit insurance is aimed at calming fears, giving customers less reason to pull their cash out in a hurry. The debate over deposit insurance taps into bigger questions about the state’s role in private enterprise.

KHARTOUM, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Israel and Sudan have finalised a deal to normalise relations, with a signing ceremony expected following a transfer of power from the military to a civilian government in Khartoum, the Israeli foreign ministry said on Thursday. Sudan's foreign ministry earlier said the deal was agreed during a visit by Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen to "move forward towards normalising relations between the two countries". "During the visit, which was made with the consent of the United States, the parties finalised the text of the agreement," an Israeli foreign ministry statement said. As intelligence minister that same year, Cohen made a ground-breaking visit to Sudan, a majority Muslim country. "Yes to negotiations between Israel and Sudan, yes to recognition of Israel and yes to peace between the states and between the peoples."
KHARTOUM, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen was in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Thursday to discuss the normalisation of ties between the two countries, two Sudanese government sources said. The trip was part of an exchange of visits between Sudan and Israel and involved discussions on reaching and signing a normalisation deal as well as military and security issues, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. In January 2021, Sudan said that its justice minister at the time, Nasredeen Abdulbari, had signed on to the Abraham Accords during a visit by U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. As intelligence minister in 2021, Cohen made a ground-breaking visit to Sudan.

Pompeo compares Bolton writing a memoir to Edward Snowden, who leaked classified information from the National Security Agency to reporters in 2013. "At least Snowden had the decency not to lie about his motive," Pompeo writes. Former President Donald Trump listens to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the White House, on October 21, 2019. "Memo to John Bolton: I'm talking about you," Pompeo writes. Pompeo writes that he was having lunch with reporters the day of the firing and got a note saying that the president needed to speak with him.
Friday’s release of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns from his four years in the White House and two years prior is an important and long overdue public service. It also would have been a warning shot to any future presidents who may want to keep their tax returns private. ), chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, asked the agency for information related to Trump’s tax returns. Ultimately, though, it’s on House Democrats that the Trump tax documents release on Friday were so limited. So they couched their court case as looking into the effectiveness of mandatory IRS audits of tax returns of all sitting presidents.
Since the release of its report last week, the committee has released testimony transcripts highlighting other developments in Trump's White House, before and after the riot. "The president floated the idea and Cipollone said no," McEntee told the committee, referring to Pat Cipollone, former White House counsel. He said something to the effect of, God, no," Hutchinson told the committee, referring to the memo. Originals of all White House documents must be kept for the archives, but copies can be burned. She suspected her former lawyer of leaking her testimony to the press, and telling other Trump-adjacent figures about what she told the committee.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin played a major role in pushing the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act through congress and in the Trump Administration's tumultuous trade negotiations with China, where technology was a central theme of those discussions.

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/File PhotoNEW YORK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she "practiced and practiced" writing the signature that will soon adorn U.S. dollars in order to avoid the illegible scrawls of her predecessors Tim Geithner and Jack Lew. "I knew this was something you could really screw up and I wanted to get it right, and I practiced and I practiced," Yellen told CBS's late-night comedian Stephen Colbert on Wednesday. "I am going to see the first sheets of currency that have been printed with both of our names," Yellen said. Dollar notes have been printed since Yellen took office in early 2021 with former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's signature on them.
Why the Fed may finally loosen its grip
  + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
The Fed should be pleased that its aggressive rate hikes in the past few months are having their desired effect, and they can ease up a bit. After four giant three-quarter-point hikes in a row, all signs point to Fed Chair Jay Powell announcing a half-point bump later this month. BIG PICTUREIt’s taken most of the year, but the economy appears to have made it over the mountain of inflation and aggressive rate hikes, according to Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Financial Group. But while 200,000 is nothing to sniff at, it’s still not soft enough for the Fed to pause its rate hikes. However, markets may cheer the fact that it’s low enough for the Fed to hike at a less aggressive pace than we’ve seen in recent months.
Mnuchin this week criticized the G-7's plan for a cap onFormer U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin described the G-7's plan for a price cap on Russian oil as "ridiculous." I think the problem now is that there's limited options ... there's parts of the world that are now buying Russian oil outside of U.S. sanctions," he said. "But look, a price cap, the market is going to set the price. As Europe seeks to wean itself off Russian oil and gas, Moscow has ramped up its sale of oil to countries including China and India. Energy analysts say it will be vital to get those countries' cooperation for any price cap to be effective, but it remains unclear how they will react to any final announcement.
