  • As Bloomberg's Garfield Reynolds writes in the aftermath of last night's unexpected Chinese rate cut, while the nation's economic struggles were (finally) severe enough for the authorities to respond with their biggest interest-rate cut since the pandemic, there are plenty of reasons to doubt that it will be enough to help spark a turnaround. For a start, Reynolds writes, that scope "is rather less impressive when you realize the reduction in the rate on one-year PBOC loans — or medium-term lending facility — was all of 15 basis points. Most central banks faced with the sort of slowdown China is facing might well decide to cut by three times as much or more."

    With China's Economy On "Verge Of Collapse", PBOC Central Banker Calls For Helicopter Money
    Cai said direct stimulus of 4 trillion yuan paid directly to Chinese households is an option to spur a recovery in consumer spending that has been slowed by weak wage growth during the pandemic.

  • The weak trucking market finally has caught up to the quarterly report of Canada’s BMO, a major lender to fleets. In its quarterly earnings report, BMO breaks out the financial performance of its various lending sectors. Transportation is its own sector, and BMO officials have said about 90% of that book of business is trucking. The data is considered a strong indicator of the health of fleets both big and small as the BMO book of business is at least 10,000 customers.

  • One month ago, not long after we warned that consumer credit was about to get much tighter in the aftermath of one of the most depressing Senior Loan Officer Opinion Surveys, which saw near-record tightening in lending standards coupled with a historic plunge in credit demand, we observed that – as one would generally expect – growth in US credit card debt had ground to a crawl, as revolving credit rose by just $5 billion, down sharply from the $12.8 billion in January, down from the $13.7 billion LTM average, and the lowest single increase since April 2021.

    Consumer Credit Shocker: Credit Card Debt Explodes At 2nd Fastest Pace On Record Just As Rates Hit All-Time High - Activist Post
    Such a move could at least be explained, if not justified, when rates were at zero, but now? The next crisis and credit crunch are set.

  • 2. financial.
    Financial risks include exchange rate risk, higher lending costs and operational risks. A CBDC should be just another form of central bank money, but could governments be tempted to exchange it for current forms of money in the national currency at less than 1:1?
    CBDCs could result in higher lending costs. In its recent discussion paper on “New forms of Digital Money” the Bank of England identified increased lending costs as a risk resulting from a decrease in bank lending with CBDC and an increase in more expensive market-based financing.

  • A major banking institution and federal student loan refinancing company has called on a federal court to end the Biden administration’s pause on student loan payments, arguing that the moratorium has no legal basis. San Francisco-based SoFi Bank and SoFi Lending Corp.—a student loan refinancing company—sued the Department of Education (DOE) on Friday, according to a complaint (pdf) filed in the District Court for the District of Columbia. That complaint asked that President Joe Biden’s latest extension of the student-loan payment pause be deemed “invalidated and set aside” or, at a minimum, that the DOE be ordered to require repayment by borrowers who are not eligible for student-debt cancellation. It also asked that the court issue a permanent injunction preventing the administration from “enforcing, applying, or implementing the eighth extension of the loan moratorium.”
