The U.S. banking sector appears well-positioned | 09 May 2023

09 May 2023, USD/JPY

USDJPY trading plan:

In its semi-annual report on financial stability, the U.S. central bank said overall funding risks for banks remained low and firms still have ample liquidity. While the central bank noted there were spillover concerns following the failures of Santa Clara, California-based SVB and New York-based Signature, it maintained that the issues that sank those regional banks do not appear broadly across the banking sector, calling them "outliers" in terms of heavy reliance on uninsured deposits. Beyond banks, the Fed said pressures on various market sectors remained within historical norms. However, it noted that valuations on commercial real estate remain high, which suggests there could be a "sizable" correction in property values should telework trends remain strong. The Fed found that banks hold about 60% of commercial real estate loans, with two-thirds of those at smaller lenders with less than $100 billion in assets.

Investment idea: buy 134.66 and take profit 135.29.
