In the US, the credit crunch, which is already starting to materialize, will impact growth and will determine how pronounced the recession will be. Amid a weaker economic outlook, the market is reassessing central banks' actions. European banks' earnings growth will still be positive, just less so than previously thought. Concerns about credit crunches in Europe appear excessive amid the strong liquidity profile and capital position of European banks. While we already started the year with a cautious stance in risky assets, we have become increasingly prudent in credit high yield. We have also become more constructive on US duration, as it has started to work again as a diversifier of risk in periods of turmoil.
In our view, the European bank sell-off is mainly driven by profit-taking and a reassessment of recessionary risks, which is not supportive for the profitability of the sector. In the case of a further escalation in this crisis, we expect the majority of the counterparty exposures to be collateralized, so we do not expect material losses from a potential resolution or wind down. The sector is well-capitalized and liquid and we don't see any other specific instances that pose large risks to other banking stocks. It will be important to monitor liquidity and deposit flows for the sector over the coming periods.
The SVB bank failure is the third after Signature Bank and Silvergate Bank, and it is the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, with SVB being the 16th biggest US bank. The failure was mainly due to an asset-liability mismatch, which resulted in the materialization of losses from sales of quality bonds that were trading down amid rising yields over the last year.
