It discusses the impact of consumers shifting to high yield savings accounts on bank net interest income and explores the Basel Endgame proposal for increased capital requirements. The debate on balancing capital reserves with economic growth in the banking system is highlighted, along with previews of upcoming earnings reports and a book launch on financial literacy and wealth-building strategies.

Then Scott and Ed break down the latest big bank earnings and discuss “Basel III endgame,” a proposal for stricter capital requirements at banks following last year’s banking crisis.
