Quarterly Banking Profile - Quarterly Net Income“The banking industry continued to show resilience in the second quarter. Net income increased and asset quality metrics remained generally favorable. However, the banking industry still faces significant downside risks from uncertainty in the economic outlook, market interest rates, and geopolitical events. In addition, weakness in certain loan portfolios, particularly office properties, credit cards, and multifamily loans, continues to warrant monitoring.”— FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg______________________________________________________________WASHINGTON— Reports from 4,539 commercial banks and savings institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reported aggregate net income of $71.5 billion in second quarter 2024, an increase of $7.3 billion (11.4 percent) from the prior quarter. A decline in noninterest expense and one-time gains on equity security transactions contributed to the quarterly increase. These and other financial results for second quarter 2024 are included in the FDIC’s latest Quarterly Banking Profile released today.
The Industry’s Net Income Increased From the Prior Quarter, Driven By Lower Noninterest Expense and One-Time Gains: Second quarter net income for the 4,539 FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions increased $7.3 billion (11.4 percent) from the prior quarter to $71.5 billion. A decline in noninterest expense (down $3.6 billion, or 2.4 percent) along with higher noninterest income (up $1.2 billion, or 1.5 percent) and higher gains on the sale of securities (up $937 million) were the primary factors driving the increase in net income. Higher provision expenses offset some of the increase in net income.
The quarterly increase in net income was largely driven by nonrecurring items including an estimated $4 billion reduction in reported expense related to the FDIC special assessment, approximately $10 billion in gains on equity security transactions by large banks, and the sale of an institution’s insurance division that resulted in an after-tax $4.9 billion gain.[1] These increases were partially offset by several large banks selling bond portfolios at a loss and a $2.7 billion increase in provision expense.
The banking industry reported an aggregate return-on-assets ratio (ROA) of 1.20 percent in second quarter 2024, up 12 basis points from first quarter 2024 but down one basis point from first quarter 2023.
Community Bank Net Income Increased Quarter Over Quarter: Quarterly net income for the 4,104 community banks insured by the FDIC was $6.4 billion in the second quarter, an increase of $72.6 million (1.1 percent) from first quarter 2024. Higher net interest income (up $546.4 million, or 2.7 percent) and higher noninterest income (up $253.9 million, or 5.0 percent) more than offset higher noninterest expense (up $365.7 million, or 2.1 percent) and higher provision expenses (up $140.5 million, or 18.2 percent). The community bank pretax ROA increased one basis point from last quarter to 1.14 percent.
The Net Interest Margin Declined Slightly, Driven by the Largest Banks: The industry’s net interest margin (NIM) declined one basis point to 3.16 percent in the second quarter as the growth in funding costs slightly exceeded the growth in earning-asset yields. The industry’s second quarter NIM was nine basis points below the pre-pandemic average NIM after falling below that level last quarter.[2] The NIM increased quarter over quarter for all size groups except for the largest banks, those with assets over $250 billion, who in aggregate reported a four basis-point decline in the NIM. The community bank NIM of 3.30 percent increased seven basis points quarter over quarter, reversing a five-quarter declining trend, but was still 33 basis points lower than the pre-pandemic average.
Asset Quality Metrics Remained Generally Favorable, Though Charge-Offs Increased: Noncurrent loans, or loans that are 90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status, remained unchanged from the prior quarter at 0.91 percent of total loans and well below the pre-pandemic average of 1.28 percent. Despite the stability in overall noncurrent loans, the noncurrent rate for non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans of 1.77 percent was at its highest level since third quarter 2013, driven by office portfolios at the largest banks. However, these banks tend to have lower concentrations of such loans in relation to total assets and capital than smaller institutions, mitigating the overall risk.
The industry’s net charge-off rate increased three basis points to 0.68 percent from the prior quarter and was 20 basis points higher than the year-ago quarter. This ratio was also 20 basis points above the pre-pandemic average and remained the highest quarterly rate reported by the industry since second quarter 2013. The credit card net charge-off rate was 4.82 percent in the second quarter, up 13 basis points quarter over quarter and the highest rate reported since third quarter 2011.
Loan Balances Increased Modestly From the Prior Quarter and a Year Ago: Total loan and lease balances increased $125.8 billion (1.0 percent) from the previous quarter. The increase was driven by higher loans to nondepository financial institutions (NDFIs) (up $76.0 billion, or 9.6 percent) and consumer loans (up $25.8 billion, or 1.2 percent). Much of the growth in NDFI lending appears to be due to reclassification from other existing loan categories. The majority of banks (75.1 percent) reported quarterly loan growth, and all major loan categories except construction and development loans showed quarter-over-quarter growth.
Total loan and lease balances increased by $244.5 billion (2.0 percent) from the prior year. The annual increase was also led by loans to NDFIs (up $77.5 billion, or 9.8 percent), likely due to reclassifications in the second quarter, as well as credit card loans (up $77.0 billion, or 7.5 percent) and adjustable rate 1-4 family residential mortgage loans (up $69.3 billion, or 7.5 percent). A large majority of banks (82.9 percent) reported annual loan growth.
Community banks reported a 1.7 percent increase in loan and lease balances from the previous quarter and a 6.3 percent increase from the prior year. Growth in nonfarm, nonresidential CRE loans and 1-4 family residential mortgage loans drove both the quarterly and annual increases in loan and lease balances. Loan growth was broad based across community banks with over three quarters of such banks reporting higher loan balances from the prior quarter.
Domestic Deposits Decreased From the Prior Quarter: Domestic deposits decreased $197.7 billion (1.1 percent) from first quarter 2024, well below the pre-pandemic average second-quarter growth of 0.2 percent. Both savings and transaction deposits declined from the prior quarter, with growth in small time deposits partially offsetting the declines. Brokered deposits decreased for the second straight quarter, down $10.1 billion (0.8 percent) from the prior quarter. Banks with over $250 billion in assets drove the quarterly decline in deposits.
Estimated insured deposits decreased $96.0 billion (0.9 percent) and estimated uninsured domestic deposits decreased $50.4 billion (0.7 percent) during the quarter. Banks with assets greater than $250 billion reported lower uninsured deposits in the second quarter, while banks with assets less than $250 billion reported higher uninsured deposit levels.
The Deposit Insurance Fund Reserve Ratio Increased Four Basis Points to 1.21 Percent: In the second quarter, the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance increased $3.9 billion to $129.2 billion. The reserve ratio increased four basis points during the quarter to 1.21 percent.
The Total Number of Insured Institutions Declined: The total number of FDIC-insured institutions declined by 29 during the quarter to 4,539. Three banks were sold to credit unions and 26 institutions merged with other banks during the quarter. One bank failed in the second quarter but did not file a call report in the first quarter, and no banks opened.

Here's something about derivatives and the rate cut today and historical events in the financial markets including comment on our dollar:
Historically, a cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve tends to stimulate economic activity, including increased investment in securities. Here’s a breakdown of how this situation might unfold:
### Immediate Effects of Rate Cuts
1. **Lower Borrowing Costs**: A reduction in interest rates makes borrowing cheaper for individuals and businesses. This can lead to increased consumer spending and business investment.
2. **Increased Liquidity**: Lower rates often result in more liquidity in the market, as businesses and consumers take advantage of cheaper loans. This can stimulate economic growth.
3. **Attraction to Equities**: As bond yields decrease due to lower interest rates, investors may seek higher returns in equities, leading to increased demand for stocks.
### Historical Context
- **1970s**: The economy faced stagflation, but rate cuts in certain periods did spur stock market rallies, albeit with high volatility.
- **1980s**: The aggressive rate cuts in the early '80s helped combat recession, leading to a robust bull market later in the decade.
- **1990s**: The tech boom was partly fueled by low interest rates, encouraging investment in innovation and startups.
- **2008 Financial Crisis**: The Fed's drastic rate cuts post-crisis aimed to stabilize the economy, leading to a prolonged bull market in the following decade.
### Looking Ahead
1. **Market Sentiment**: If the market perceives the rate cut as a sign of confidence in economic recovery, we may see a rally in stock prices.
2. **Sector Performance**: Certain sectors, like technology and consumer discretionary, often benefit more from lower rates as they rely heavily on financing for growth.
3. **Inflation Considerations**: If inflation begins to rise due to increased spending, the Fed may have to adjust rates again, which could impact market stability.
4. **Global Factors**: Geopolitical tensions, supply chain issues, and other global economic factors will also play a significant role in market dynamics over the next five years.
### Predictive Analysis
Using predictive statistics, one might expect:
- **Continued Growth**: If economic indicators remain positive, we could see a sustained upward trend in stock valuations.
- **Volatility**: Markets may experience increased volatility as investors react to both economic data and Fed policies.
- **Investment Shifts**: A potential shift from traditional sectors to emerging industries, particularly green technologies and digital platforms, could reshape market dynamics.
### Conclusion
While a rate cut typically leads to a more active buying trend in securities, the overall impact will depend on a combination of domestic economic performance, investor sentiment, and external global factors. Monitoring these elements closely will be crucial for assessing future market directions.

The issue of derivatives held by major banks is indeed a significant concern in the financial landscape. Here’s an overview of the potential implications and risks associated with this situation:
### Understanding Derivatives and Their Risks
1. **What Are Derivatives?**
Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is linked to the performance of an underlying asset, index, or interest rate. Common types include options, futures, and swaps.
2. **Exposure and Leverage**:
Many banks hold large positions in derivatives, often using them for hedging or speculative purposes. However, the lack of capital backing can lead to excessive leverage, increasing systemic risk.
### Potential for Market Disruption
1. **Counterparty Risk**:
If one party in a derivative contract defaults, it can create a chain reaction. Major banks are interconnected through these contracts, meaning that a default could trigger widespread panic and instability.
2. **Lack of Transparency**:
The complexity and opacity of derivatives make it difficult for regulators and investors to assess the true risk exposure of these banks. This can lead to a false sense of security in the market.
3. **Regulatory Gaps**:
If banks are not adequately audited or if there are loopholes in the regulatory framework, it could mask the extent of their overextension. This lack of oversight might allow risky practices to continue unchecked.
### Who Could Call the Derivatives?
1. **Regulators**:
Financial regulators, such as the Federal Reserve or the SEC, could demand audits and transparency from banks regarding their derivative holdings. Stricter regulations could force banks to reduce their exposure.
2. **Market Participants**:
Investors and analysts could raise concerns about a bank’s balance sheet, prompting market reactions. If confidence wanes, it could lead to sell-offs in stocks and derivatives.
### Mechanisms for a Market Crash
1. **Panic Selling**:
If it becomes apparent that a major bank is overextended, investors may rush to sell off shares and derivatives, leading to a sharp decline in market values.
2. **Liquidity Crisis**:
A sudden loss of confidence can lead to a liquidity crunch, where banks struggle to meet obligations, further exacerbating the situation.
3. **Credit Freeze**:
If banks become wary of lending due to concerns over their own exposure, it could lead to a credit freeze, stifling economic growth and investment.
### Conclusion
While the potential for derivatives to contribute to a market crash exists, it largely hinges on transparency, regulatory oversight, and market confidence. Increased scrutiny and proper auditing of banks' derivative
The value of the U.S. dollar in global markets is significantly influenced by its circulation and various economic factors. Here are some key points to consider:
### Impact of Dollar Circulation on Its Value
1. **Supply and Demand Dynamics**:
An increase in the circulation of dollars, often resulting from expansive monetary policy (like quantitative easing), can lead to a dilution of the dollar’s value. If more dollars are in circulation without a corresponding increase in economic output, it can weaken the dollar against other currencies.
2. **Inflation Concerns**:
A higher money supply can raise inflation expectations. If investors anticipate that inflation will erode the dollar's purchasing power, they may seek to hold assets denominated in other currencies or commodities, further decreasing the dollar's value.
3. **Global Reserve Currency Status**:
The U.S. dollar remains the world’s primary reserve currency, which creates a consistent demand for it. This demand can help maintain its value, even when the money supply increases. However, challenges to this status (e.g., rising currencies like the euro or yuan) could alter this dynamic.
4. **Interest Rates and Investment Flows**:
When the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, as mentioned earlier, it can lead to lower returns on dollar-denominated assets. This might prompt investors to seek higher returns elsewhere, putting downward pressure on the dollar’s value.
### Conclusion
The amount of dollars in circulation plays a crucial role in determining its value on the world stage. Balancing monetary policy to foster economic growth while maintaining the dollar's strength is a delicate task for the Federal Reserve, with significant implications for both domestic and global markets. positions could reveal vulnerabilities, prompting necessary reforms. It's crucial for regulators to ensure that banks maintain adequate capital reserves to mitigate these risks and promote financial stability.

lota Pursuant to the Plan, the Liquidating Trust Assets (generally, other than any assets allocated to the
Disputed Equity Escrow, discussed below) are treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as having
been transferred, subject to any obligations relating to those assets, directly to the holders of the
respective Claims or Equity Interests' in satisfaction of their Claims or cancellation of their Equity
Interests (with each holder receiving an undivided interest in such assets in accord with their economic
interests in such assets), followed by the transfer by the holders to the Liquidating Trust of such assets in
exchange for Liquidating Trust Interests. Accordingly, all parties must treat the Liquidating Trust as a
grantortrust of which the holders of the Liquidating Trust Interests are the owners and grantors, and
treat the Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries as the direct owners of an undivided interest in the Liquidating
Trust Assets (other than any assets allocated to the Disputed Equity Escrow), consistent with their
economic interests therein, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes.
