US Banks – Weekly Balance Sheets, Negative C&I Growth, Nearly First Time This Year, Other Negatives

By Daniel Tabbush

  • There was one week of data where large US banks showed -0.1% YoY growth in commercial and industrial (C&I) but the most recent week is -1.0% so more solidly negative.
  • Cash balances continue to show YoY growth at double digit, now at 18.4% suggesting limited demand, and still banks having risk-aversion.
  • Jumbo time deposit growth remains extraordinary at 118% YoY in most recent week, and this money is more expensive than other time deposits.
