Credit Suisse On The Brink, Which Bank Will Go Next?

For the past few days we have been focused on the banking crisis in America, with Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank went into administration as rising interest rates, falling bond yields and defaulting borrowers combined to make them insolvent. It was always clear this crisis was not going to be limited to America but may be a surprise to people not involved in finance or investing is Swiss retail bank Credit Suisse. Swiss bankers are traditionally known for their cautious approach to lending mess so how did one of their leading banks, and one designated in previous crisies as too big to fail get into the impending mess.

The exposure of Credit Suisse to far too much dodgy debt has been known for a long time, in fact shareholders in the bank have been asked to bail it out several times. This time however, the distressed bank’s biggest shareholder, Saudi National Bank (SNB), which is 37% owned by the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, has publicly ruled out further investment for the bank.

Shares of Swiss banking giant fell by more than 20 percent and the cost of insuring its bonds against default soared on Wednesday when SNB, its biggest shareholder said it would “absolutely not” provide additional support.

The decline brought shares to an all-time low. Concerns about the bank’s health and stability have been weighing on the stock for three months.

The most recent sell-off appeared to be triggered by remarks from the chairman of Saudi National Bank, the biggest shareholder of Credit Suisse, when asked if the Saudi bank was open to further capital injections.

“The answer is absolutely not, for many reasons outside the simplest reason, which is regulatory and statutory,” Chairman Ammar Al Khudairy said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.

SNB's announcement that it is not prepared to flush any more money down the toilet that is Credit Suisse is just about the worst news stockborkers and bond traders could have been given with markets already in a blind panic following several bank runs and resultant bank shutdowns.

A couple of paragraphs quoted by Zero Hedge in their writeup of the situation explain how this has led to “the cost of insuring the bank's bonds against default in the near term to distressed levels.” 

"One-year credit default swaps for the embattled Swiss lender were indicated at 835.9 basis points on Tuesday's close of business, based on pricing source CMAQ. Other pricing sources point to a further rise on Wednesday, while a level of 1,000 would indicate serious concern," Bloomberg said. 

Credit Suisse’s CEO was on the stump defending the bank and its capital ratios today, but that doesn’t mean much in an investing environment where any hint of negative performance can immediately trigger a collapse of share prices and market capitalisation.Take these examples of recent attempts to reassure investors:

“I would ask everyone to stay calm and to support us just like we supported you during the challenging times,” Silicon Valley Bank’s CEO said just days before the bank was taken over by the FDIC.

“Signature Bank, a New York-based, full-service commercial bank, announced today updated financial figures as of March 8, 2023 and reiterated its strong, well-diversified financial position and limited digital-asset related deposit balances in the wake of industry developments,” Signature Bank wrote in a PR just 3 days before it was also taken over by regulators.

And now, today: "We have strong capital ratios, a strong balance sheet," said Credit Suisse Chairman Axel Lehmann, dismissing rumours that the bank was trying to negotiate terms of a bail - out with the Swiss government.

Earlier this month, while speaking at the Financial Sector Conference in Saudi Arabia, Lehmann said government assistance "isn't a topic" for the lender as the Swiss bank sought to shore up confidence among shareholders and clients.

This may come as a surprise to some, but the Chairman may have 'misplaced' the truth.

The Financial Times reports that, according to three people with knowledge of the talks, Credit Suisse has appealed to the Swiss National Bank for a public show of support.

Credit Suisse also asked for a similar response from Finma, the Swiss regulator.

“It is looking inevitable that the Swiss National Bank will have to intervene and provide a lifeline,” said Octavio Marenzi, analyst at Opimas.

“The [Swiss National Bank] and the Swiss government are fully aware that the failure of Credit Suisse or even any losses by deposit holders would destroy Switzerland’s reputation as a financial centre.”

This latest news comes on top of a report that the ECB has asked EU lenders to disclose their exposures to the Swiss lender, a person familiar with the matter told the Financial Times.

Finally, Bloomberg reports that the US Treasury says it's monitoring the Credit Suisse situation, and is in touch with global counterparts.

Officials at the Treasury Department are working closely with European regulators, said one of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

As we wait for the next bank to collapse I can only quote the words of a wise and articulate man I once worked with, when he was told 'government experts' were being brought in to supervise the multi - million £ project we were working on as it was of national importance."

He said: "We're fucked, I'm fucked, you're fucked, we're all fucked. We're fucking fucked."

German Health Minister Admits Serious Side Effects From Covid-19 Vaccines, Flips Official 100% Safe Narrative

Official data shows published by the German government shows that more than 330,000 COVID vaccine recipients in German have reported damage from Covid-19 vaccines, and many of them, including young people, suffered serious side effects. In the light of these figures Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD), who has throughout the pandemic been notable for his aggressive promotion of mass vaccination and draconian lockdown policies, has been forced to acknowledge that the incidence of serious side effects from these vaccines in unacceptably high, after he had denied for two years that there were any cooncerns about the vaccines. “That’s right: 1 in 10,000. That is the frequency of serious side effects,” Lauterbach said in an interview with public service broadcaster ZDF’s “Today Journal” on Sunday. “These fates are absolutely disturbing. To be honest, I feel very sorry for the people. Some of the vaccine damage is likely permanent. However, the drugs for treating ‘post-vac’ are not yet available and the health insurance companies’ claims for coverage are very limited. So I understand the people who complain,” he said. Immediately after making these commments Lauterbach was questioned about a comment he tweeted in 2021, in which he said that vaccination was “free of side effects.” In response Lauterbach grew evasive, saying, “That was an exaggeration I once made in an unfortunate tweet.” Lauterbach is known for his enthusiastic pushing of mass vaccination during the pandemic and the coercive measures he pushed through to make life difficily for people who refused the untested, experimental clotshot, but the health minister stated during his interview last week that he did not see any failure on the part of the Ministry of Health. He also stated repeated the misinformation planted by vaccine makers that severe side effects are rare. “So, that no false impression sticks: Severe vaccination damage, based on data from the Paul Ehrlich Institute or the European licensing authority, is on the order of less than 1 in 10,000 vaccinations. So it’s not that vaccine damage is that common,” said the health minister. He is being disingenuous here, prior to the hoax pandemic any drug found to cause serious side effects at that rate would be withdrawn very quickly. German citizens and medical professionalson social media were quickly on Lauterbach's case, with professor Stefan Homburg referencing a Weltwoche article in his post: “Pharma, authorities and Lauterbach knew it beforehand: heart damage in children, thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, damage to reproductive ability. After Pfizer was sued, the public now has the evidence. Homburg, who works at the University of Hanover, continued by writing, “Yesterday, Karl Lauterbach confirmed in an interview that he was ‘all aware’ of the registered vaccination damage." Damning stuff but will Lauterbach be forced to resign or will he use a variation on the classic German excuse, "I vass only following ze science." RELATED:

1 in every 73 People Vaccinated Against COVID Was Dead by May 2022 in England according to UK Government
The latest week’s data for UK deaths, for the week to 12 August 2022, reports some 1,082 more people than would be expected for this period in a normal year died in the UK. These represent the so - called excess deaths so-called that during the fear and panic stages of the COVID saga were reported so gleefully. Yet now, with the scare narrative winding down, excess deaths in the UK have averaged 1,000 for 15 weeks of this year. Bizarrely this newsworthy story has gone completely unreported by mainstream media, leaving the alt_news community to get out news of what is really happening to the world.
