Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics.

Resona & Chiba - Duration Longest at Resona, Shortest at Chiba, Implications for YCC Relief

With rising yields on 10 year JGBs and on 1 year JGBs it is worth re-visting the stand outs in duration, Resona and Chiba.

Good Morning Japan |US Bank Turmoil Spur Safe Haven Bid; NUGGET:Japan Wage Hikes - Something Special

NKY Futures are set for more losses at the open, driven by the safe-haven bid for the yen. Surely, this macro-driven sell-off is a buying opportunity?
