Reports by Fed and FDIC Reveal Vulnerabilities Behind 2 Major US Bank Failures

The Federal Reserve and the FDIC published reports on Friday concerning the fall of the second and third-largest U.S. bank failures in history.

The first report, published by the Fed’s vice chair for supervision Michael Barr, claims the central bank’s supervisors failed to recognize the extent of vulnerabilities at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) as it grew in size and complexity. Michael Barr, the vice chair for supervision at the U.S. Federal Reserve, wrote that SVB had 31 open supervisory findings while other banks had much fewer in comparison.

The FDIC published its report on Signature Bank’s (SBNY) collapse and the report authored by Marshall Gentry. On page 13, the FDIC report goes into great detail about the crypto industry turmoil that bolstered SBNY’s failure. ”The strategy exposed SBNY to greater susceptibility to liquidity, reputation, and regulatory risk due to the uncertainty and volatility of the digital asset space,” Gentry explained.

  • Fed Governor Bowman: Be cautious about rate cuts

    Federal Reserve Governor Bowman said there are upside risks to inflation and the continued strength of the labor market, indicating that she may not be prepared to support a rate cut at the next meeting of U.S. central bank officials in September. She said that the progress made in reducing inflation in May and June was welcome, but inflation is still above the committee's 2% target, which is disturbing. I will remain cautious when considering adjusting the current policy stance. She also said that U.S. fiscal policy, the pressure on the real estate market from immigration, and geopolitical risks may all put upward pressure on housing prices, and the recent jump in the unemployment rate to 4.3% may exaggerate the extent of the cooling of the labor market.

The judge ruled that the Federal Reserve has the right to decide whether to grant a master account. Judge Scott Skavdahl of Wyoming stated that federal law does not require the central bank to allow every qualified deposit institution to enter its master account system, and the evidence provided does not indicate that the Federal Reserve Board influenced a regional branch's decision to reject their account application.
