华尔街喜提大礼包:美联储拟给银行“减负”,整改令批量作废
智通财经网· 2026-02-12 01:53
监管松绑:简化合规负担 特朗普总统任内的金融监管机构承诺简化政府日趋庞杂的规则体系——银行业界认为,自金融危机以来 层层加码的监管已过于繁复。他们抱怨合规负担推高成本、抑制放贷,却未必能提升金融体系安全性。 鲍曼已承诺全面改革美联储风险监管模式,提升监管透明度。 美联储发言人拒绝置评。 根据一份美联储内部备忘录显示,此次复审旨在帮助审查人员"聚焦威胁银行安全稳健的实质性财务风 险,提升监管有效性"。备忘录未要求审查人员直接撤销整改令,而是先复核"明确无争议的案例",再 对"临界情形"的警告进行二次评估。 智通财经APP获悉,随着美联储副主席米歇尔・鲍曼持续放宽央行对美国金融机构的监管,美联储已向 各银行释放信号,计划撤销此前为督促其改善运营而发出的部分非公开整改指令。 据知情人士透露,本月早些时候,美联储监管人员已告知全美多家银行,将着手对现有"未达标事项整 改令"进行复审。这类整改令属于非公开的缺陷纠正指令。知情人士称,若某项整改令与美联储最新指 导方针不符——即要求检查员更关注银行财务健康的即时风险,而非执著于流程与程序——该指令将被 撤销。各银行高管将有机会参与制定剩余整改令的解决方案。 美联储监管层通 ...

花旗警告:英镑“最脆弱时刻”在5月,政治动荡与降息预期令其双重承压
Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2026-02-11 15:40
本周英镑兑美元出现反弹,兑欧元亦收复部分失地。此前的跌势由斯塔默团队一名高级成员辞职触发,政治不确定性再度浮出水面。鉴于英镑年 内涨幅主要来自美元走弱的被动支撑,多家机构认为,通过欧元兑英镑表达对英国风险敞口,是当前更具效率的交易方式。 花旗集团策略师警告,英镑面临的最大考验将在未来两个月到来。届时英国政局不确定性与英国央行降息预期将形成共振,对英镑构成显著下行 压力。 该行策略师Daniel Tobon表示,尽管市场过去一周已"初步感知"这两大风险,但真正的下行风险窗口将于5月初地方选举前夕开启。民调显示,首 相斯塔默所在党派或面临压力,其领导地位已受动摇,政治不确定性料进一步升温。 与此同时,英国央行预计将在未来数月重启降息。上周该行以出人意料的微弱优势决定维持利率不变,但市场普遍认为宽松周期尚未终结。 政治与货币政策风险交织 花旗策略师Daniel Tobon指出,政治不确定性与货币政策宽松是当前做空英镑的两大核心逻辑,而这两大主题将在4月至5月间形成交汇,届时英镑 将迎来"更大幅度的反应"。他称: "现在认真押注这些情景还为时过早,4月和5月是这些主题汇聚的时刻,那才是我们想要参与的窗口。" 期权市场 ...
