UniCredit confirms to call the US$1.25bn AT1 in June, the bank can easily absorb the negative impact on its substantial MDA buffer

We take a look at how banks are positioned to meet the expected increase in capital requirements. For our bank universe the total regulatory capital requirement is set to increase some 30bp on average this year, with the bulk already as of 1 January, and the highest increase is set for c.140bp. We consider most banks are well positioned to absorb the impact. We would remain most comfortable taking more risk in the liability structure in banks with stronger MDA headroom such as in Crédit Agricole...

Israel's retaliatory strike on Iran overnight triggered an initially big reaction across asset classes, although markets appear moderately less concerned at the European market open. Safe-haven currencies are leading the pack, and there are now risks of a more structural bearish turn on EUR/USD
We changed our stance from, ‘Selling the rallies' into ‘Buying on weakness' last Friday, but the weekly chart still shows that there is a job to be done. Last week closed slightly higher at 132.50, a rise of 34bp, although there was a lower high at 133.05 and low at 131.31 in relation to the week before., with prices still below the flattening EMA-40 line at 133.54. It is also not ruling out new lows below 131.31 within the bottoming process, although the downside is limited with solid horizont...
Geopolitical tensions rattled EM credit markets this week, while resilient economic data continues to drive UST yields higher. Despite the pullback this week, spread levels remain relatively tight and further supply in the coming weeks could be a trigger for continued weakness.
CM.com's 1Q24 update was largely inline with our expectations with lower gross profit compensated by better OPEX control. We expect this trend to continue and as a result we have limited changes to EBITDA estimates. We believe the company is well on track to become structurally profitable on a FCF basis from 2H24 onwards. This should mitigate any balance sheet uncertainty. We keep our BUY rating and €10.50 target price.
In the beginning of this year, we mentioned that a longer-term consolidation in the US Dollar seems most likely, not showing a clear direction for this year. Possibly some interesting rallies and declines from time to time which will offer a trading opportunity.
When Vopak reports its 1Q24 next week, we foresee a positive surprise in the numbers. The main reason in our view is that the guidance given by management is too cautious, followed suit by consensus estimates. In our view market conditions haven't changed overnight like volatile oil markets due to geopolitical unrest, stable chemical markets and higher results for gas thanks to Eemshaven contribution. With this outlook, good cash flow in FY24 and in the years ahead, thanks to dedicated managemen...
The term premium represents a compensation for being in long tenors. Currently there is virtually none. Back in October we had a 40bp term premium in the 10yr yield. A re-build towards that is the cleanest route to 5% for the 10yr yield. And even at that level, that's a mild term premium. Only a 0.2% on next week's PCE deflator can keep us from hitting these levels
Nordea earnings continue to benefit from deposit margins. Bankinter: support from high rates starts to fade. Committee on economic and monetary affairs to vote on European Deposit Insurance Scheme proposal today. Canadian EUR covered bonds more attractive
