"What we are seeing is the next ripple effects of CONTAGION from the first shoes to drop from the US and CS now affecting other well known weak banks in Europe - starting with Deutsche. The fact that AT1/CoCo bonds are now repricing higher and people are selling and parking cash in USTs after the CS AT1 wipe-out doesn't help either.
Deutsche is has been a problem bank for many years since the GFC and it has churned through around 5 CEOs - each of which have failed to turn around the bank's fortunes.
Take a look at the SX7E Index and expand the timeseries as far back as 2000. Then superimpose a typical US IB like JPM or BAML and you will see the clear juxtaposition. Pre GFC, banks on both sides of the Atlantic boomed. Post GFC, however, US banks recapitalized while European took a more piecemeal approach resulting in a recovery in share price that never really materialized.
European banks were under pressure the last time the Fed tightened policy - with peak worries in 2018 before the Fed paused and cut in 2019. We are again in such a tightening cycle - far faster and with a far higher terminal rate than was seen in 2015-2018 under the Yellen/Powell yrs. It was therefore not a stretch of the imagination to anyone remotely clued up in finance to reach the conclusion that the same zombie banks that were limping along and looked precarious in 2018 will again experience similar (or worse) problems in the current tightening cycle.
This is not a Friday effect, as the author alludes to. Nor will Monday's price action be a typical Monday phenomenon. This the next chapter in a wider risk off, macro event in which record pace and degree of tightening against a backdrop of record levels of private, corporate and government debt is causing financial markets to break.
These worries in markets will not disappear. Deutsche has 2 options: i) revive merger talks with Commerzbank or ii) wait to be in an even weaker position and hope for a German taxpayer bailout.
Next on the list after DB is SocGen, who will likely resuscitate merger talks with UniCredit.
Banking consolidation is needed in view of the eroding equity capital base, more expensive credit options and all while entering what will likely prove to be the deepest recession since 2008."
