On March 19, the Federal Reserve (Fed) on Thursday released a proposal to ease capital requirements for top Wall Street banks—a move that could unlock tens of billions of dollars for lending, stock buybacks, and dividend payouts. Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said in a statement: “These reforms will strengthen our overall capital framework, which will remain robust under the new regulatory regime.” The proposal will undergo a 90-day public comment period before finalization. It was developed jointly by the Fed, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The Fed Board will formally vote on the plan Thursday.

March 19th — Bank of America’s Chief Equity Strategist Michael Hartnett says consumer stocks may now offer the best buying opportunity, even as surging oil prices threaten to stoke inflation and weigh on the economy. “Consumer stocks have fully priced in stagflation expectations,” Hartnett noted at a Thursday event. He warned rising oil prices could delay Fed rate cuts, pressuring stocks in the short term — and pegged a drop in the S&P 500 to around 6600 points as an ideal entry point. Hartnett dubs today’s investors the “quantitative easing generation” — used to central banks quickly bailing out markets. He argues this mindset needs to shift for policymakers to take meaningful action. Long-term, he’s bullish on international markets and commodities, calling them the “true bull market of the inflation era.” He also dismissed speculation the Fed could hike rates amid turmoil as “nonsensical.” (FXStreet)
