The KBW analysts were the latest to draw comparisons to the crisis of confidence that shook Deutsche Bank six years ago. While these levels are still far from distressed and are part of a broad market sell-off, they signify deteriorating perceptions of creditworthiness for the scandal-hit bank in the current environment.

The firm's 2021 annual report said its international regulatory minimum ratio was 8 per cent, while Swiss authorities required a higher level of about 10 per cent. Credit Suisse's market capitalisation dropped to around 10 billion Swiss francs, meaning any share sale would be highly dilutive to long-time holders. Mr Koerner's memo was the second straight Friday missive as speculation over the beleaguered bank's future increases.

Cracks start to appear in the financial system: Bank of England ... (Small Caps)

Some of the most intense speculation has surrounded the future for large financial institutions Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, with both attracting market ...

“The euro area and the UK are in recession, China is in a growth recession, and the US is flirting with recession.” The attention on Credit Suisse and Deutsche is understandable given the dramatic intervention by the Bank of England in the UK bond market. The Bank of England was forced to intervene because lending for housing was starting to be hit and the rising yields had caused a potential crisis in the UK pension fund sector. However, other traders think the pessimism has been overdone and have rated Deutsche Bank as a buy and remain confident that Credit Suisse and its strong and valuable banking and wealth management platforms will provide enough of a buffer to allow it to rescue and restructure its poorly performing investment bank. The speculation saw Credit Suisse chief executive officer Ulrich Koerner last week reassure investors and staff – admitting that the bank is facing a “critical moment” but stressing that the Swiss-based financial institution has a “strong capital base and liquidity position.” You know things are getting serious when the Bank of England is forced to step in and buy bonds because the country’s entire defined benefit pensions system is put in danger because of rocketing bond yields.
