Good Morning

Equity markets rebounded on Monday as investors hoped for FOMC leniency. The budding banking crisis is the first sign of economic cracking and, for some, a reason the FOMC should quit hiking rates. The caveat is that inflation is still high, and the latest data supports the Fed's current policy stance. However, the FOMC may only raise by 25 basis points but issue a firm statement that says the committee will act when the data is hot.

A new round of aid for trouble bank First Republic helped soothe fears of contagion. A consortium of banks led by JPMorgan Chase & Co. is seeking ways to raise capital for the bank and shore up its balance sheet. Among the possibilities are dilutive share sales and an outright bank sale. Meanwhile, the banking fallout has investors in the EU on edge, which is another sign that global economic conditions are on the brink of collapse.
