Deep dives
Big Banks report earnings, highlighting the impact of interest rates
The earnings reports of JP Morgan and Wells Fargo have shed light on the impact of interest rates on big banks. While the higher rate environment has led to increased interest payments on mortgage loans, it has also resulted in higher borrowing costs and a decrease in demand for loans. The capital positions of banks have been affected as bond values have fallen with rising yields. JP Morgan's solid quarter showed revenue growth of 21% and net interest income up 30%. However, there are concerns about the overall macro environment and the potential danger it poses.
