Lower Net Job Losses Support Spreads of Large US Banks Lower Net Job Losses Support Spreads of Large US Banks 2009-11-06
...By Michael E. Love, CFA and Chris Lam The slowing of the pace of credit deterioration in the loan portfolios of the big four US commercial banks -- JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Citigroup -- is a perception supported by their third-quarter #### earnings reports. This relative improvement has been driven by moderating early stage delinquencies in many consumer portfolios and has helped tighten credit spreads on the banks' bonds and CDS. In particular, the better performances of their consumer loan portfolios are offsetting weakness in the commercial lending area. The banks have as a result reduced the build-up of their loan loss reserves, which indicates the banks do not foresee large increases in their quarterly credit losses (Figure #). In the last US banking crisis, bank bond spreads began to tighten some time after bank reserve builds declined, but well before charge-offs peaked. As reserve builds appear to have peaked in this cycle for this group of banks, we believe...
More Funding for GMAC Promises Little Relief for GM More Funding for GMAC Promises Little Relief for GM 2009-11-06
...GMAC is reportedly in talks with the U.S. Treasury Department to receive another loan from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) ranging from $#.# billion to $#.#. In isolation, this capital injection would be an indirect credit positive for General Motors Corporation (GM) whose rating we withdrew in July following its bankruptcy reorganization. The incremental funding from the U.S. government should enhance GMAC's ability to offer financing to prospective buyers of GM vehicles, which will be critical if GM is to derive benefit from any upturn in U.S. auto sales in ####. However, the infusion will do little to address the competitive gap that exists between GM and its primary competitor, Ford Motor Company (B# CFR, stable outlook). We believe that both GM and Chrysler continue to suffer from weaker product line-ups than Ford. Even with the benefit of increased sales finance support from GMAC (which provides sales finance for both GM and Chrysler products), we believe GM will be challenged...

Greater Washington Region Expected to Weather Recession Better Than Nation Greater Washington Region Expected to Weather Recession Better Than Nation 2009-11-06
...As the effects of the global economic recession continue to strain the financial operations of a large number of U.S. local governments, Moody's believes that local governments in the Greater Washington Region are in a more stable position than those in much of the rest of country and are well-positioned to capture economic growth and experience revenue increases once the recession has ended. The main driver for the relatively healthier position is the economic strength of the area, anchored by its core of federal government employment and related private sector jobs. There are several other factors that will contribute to relative financial stability and growth for local governments in the area going forward, including: The implementation of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) effort, which will benefit certain portions of the region, particularly in Maryland, but is also expected to create significant transportation challenges; Strong technology, education and health care sectors,...

EU Bringing Change To The UK Banking Landscape ¡V Credit Impact On Affected Banks Moderate EU Bringing Change To The UK Banking Landscape ¡V Credit Impact On Affected Banks Moderate 2009-11-06
...The divestments announced by Lloyds and RBS this week as part of their EC state aid remedies, will be unwelcome for the banks in question. In addition to these divestments, the new Northern Rock plc ­ the "good bank" resulting from the split of Northern Rock comprising its retail savings accounts and some mortgages ­ is likely to be put up for sale in the near future as and when the market has returned to a more stable mode. This raises the possibility of either new challenger banks appearing in the UK or of smaller players gaining a much stronger foothold. As is the full intention of the European commission, competition in the UK banking sector will increase which we expect to lead to lower margins for banks. We caution that similar risks arose in the past when Northern Rock and HBOS took on the role of the challenger to the incumbent large clearing banks in the mortgage, real estate and SME markets. However, we do not think that the divestments will meaningfully undermine the franchise...
