In a surprising financial twist, bank deposits in the United States experienced a remarkable surge amid the tumultuous period surrounding New York Community Bancorp, reversing a prior trend of significant declines. Just last week, amidst this instability, deposits unexpectedly soared by $147 billion on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, marking the most substantial increase since June 2021. This event has raised several eyebrows and prompted questions regarding the resilience and fluidity of the banking sector in times of crisis. On a seasonally-adjusted scale, the overall bank deposits ascended by an impressive $101 billion last week alone. This sudden spike diverges sharply from the preceding trend of shrinking deposits, sparking a wave of analysis and speculation among financial experts and spectators alike.
A deeper dive into the figures reveals that excluding foreign deposits, domestic banks in the U.S. witnessed the largest deposit inflows since May 2021, with large banks receiving a boost of $61.5 billion and small banks $19.5 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis. On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, domestic deposits surged by $131 billion, out of which large banks contributed $103 billion and small banks $28 billion. Simultaneously, loan volumes have been on the increase for the fourth consecutive week, suggesting a complex interplay between deposit inflows and loan disbursements within the banking ecosystem. The resilience and apparent rebound in regional bank shares, despite the ongoing banking crisis highlighted by the concerning red line in financial charts, suggest that the underlying issues might not be fully resolved. This situation poses essential questions about the future strategy of big banks with the newfound liquidity and the broader implications for the stability of smaller banks within the financial system, hinting at a possibly looming ‘Small Bank’ crisis reminiscent of previous financial turbulences.
