Big banks like JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and Bank of America are expected to report lower first-quarter profits compared to the same period last year, due to slower loan demand and mounting troubles for some borrowers. However, investors seem more interested in how these banks will perform for the rest of 2024, especially in light of changing expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The stocks of these big banks have been climbing this year, outperforming major indexes, and investors are looking for predictions of more profits for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, regional banks are expected to struggle more if the Fed keeps rates higher for longer, facing challenges such as higher deposit costs and exposure to commercial real estate loans.

Kotowski favors seven bigger banks and believes that regional banks are vulnerable due to their exposure to commercial real estate, particularly in the current office space downturn. He argues that larger banks have a more resilient business model and that the sell-off in larger banks this week was overblown, with the sector remaining undervalued.

Despite a 3.5% increase in investment banking revenues for the biggest banks in the fourth quarter, executives are cautious about expressing optimism, wary of last year's unmet expectations. While lower interest rates may reduce deposit costs and stimulate borrowing, they could also impact lending income. The industry is banking on a Wall Street revival in 2024, with hopes pinned on the end of the Fed's aggressive monetary tightening. Goldman Sachs, in particular, is poised for a potential rebound, with CEO David Solomon anticipating a pickup in IPOs and debt and equity issuance. However, uncertainties remain, including the potential impact of economic, geopolitical, and corporate factors on Wall Street operations.

President Biden has criticized the exploitation of vulnerable Americans by banks and the proposed changes are part of the administration's effort to crack down on "junk fees."

This situation has raised concerns about another financial crisis similar to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank earlier this year. While these losses are not the same as debt, they have negatively impacted the share prices of major financial institutions. However, some analysts believe that the worst of the Treasury-market rout may be over, as the Federal Reserve signals the end of its tightening campaign. Nonetheless, the unrealized losses continue to be a concern for Wall Street's biggest names.
