$100,000,000,000 in Deposits Leaks Out Of The US Banking System

It has been revealed that an incredibly high amount of money exited the banking system. Check out the latest reports about the matter below.

New reports revealed the massive amount of money that got out of the banking system.

A new survey has revealed that the state of the financial sector is causing concern among people and businesses, leading to billions of dollars being withdrawn from US banks.

According to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), deposits in all US commercial banks have declined by $100 billion in just three weeks, dropping from $17.38 trillion on September 27th to $17.28 trillion on October 18th.

This deposit flight follows a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve which polled 25 participants, including market professionals, academics, investment funds, and research and advisory firms.

The participants have warned that despite withstanding financial tremors earlier this year, banks are still at risk of another crisis for two key reasons.

“Although survey respondents noted the banking sector has stabilized since the period of acute stress earlier this year, many highlighted risks of renewed deposit outflows given that large portions of deposits remain uninsured.

Many respondents continued to link risks of re-emerging banking-sector stress to potential losses on CRE (commercial real estate) exposures, particularly among smaller and regional banks.”

It has been also revealed the fact that the participants also view the commercial real sector as a “potential trigger for systemic stress.” This is happening amidst the higher interest rates and declining demand for office space due to the shift to a hybrid work environment.

“Survey respondents viewed small and regional domestic banks as particularly vulnerable due to their higher concentration of CRE exposures, which could lead to tighter bank lending conditions.”
