美财长暗示或于今夏放宽银行交易美债的资本限制

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Treasury Secretary suggests that regulatory changes may occur this summer, potentially easing capital restrictions on banks trading U.S. Treasury securities, which could lead to a decrease in Treasury yields by several basis points [1]. Regulatory Changes - The proposed change pertains to the "Supplementary Leverage Ratio" (SLR), which currently requires banks to hold a certain amount of capital when engaging in Treasury transactions [1]. - The three main banking regulatory agencies involved are the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) [1]. Market Impact - If the SLR is eliminated, it is anticipated that Treasury yields could decline by several basis points, which may influence the broader financial markets [1].
