Get set for higher mortgages: US rate rise and new rules for UK banks could create the perfect storm (even before a BoE hike)


Banks may soon be forced to hold more capital on their balance sheets

To fund this they may resort to hiking mortgage interest rates

If the US raises rates as predicted, the combination could result in a perfect storm for homeowners

Buy to let borrowers feel the squeeze as Barclays increases lending restrictions


On 1 December, the Bank of England’s governor, Mark Carney, welcomed plans for the financial regulator to review underwriting standards amongst buy to let investors as the Bank’s latest Financial Stability Report found defaults on buy-to-let properties are twice as high as for owner-occupier mortgages.




Stress tests: Bank of England flags up buy-to-let concerns

BoE reviewing lending criteria adopted by firms and puts banks on notice about holding £10bn capital cushion to guard against economic downturn

[christh] 02/12/2015 10:35

Ken,
it would have been nice to be 1100p because it would be the price when was heading in 2008.
But the 303p that DM is set as target price is healthy, realistic and right
for Barclays.
Hope it gets there soon...

this is the link with all Barclays brker views

Kamal Ahmed on the BBC writes of an 'inflection point':

The Bank of England has produced two reports dealing with the issue of financial stability. Its key message? That the UK's major banks are in a relatively resilient state and that the need for ever higher regulatory controls is coming to an end...

This is an "inflection point" in the post-financial world - a new chapter, the Bank signalled. It does not believe in a "long march to ever more capital" and feels that banks are now handling risk more prudently.the UK's major banks are in a relatively resilient state and that the need for ever higher regulatory controls is coming to an end.


fantastic news. Banks' haste to build capital has been a major part of why shareholder returns have been so poor.

As for the counter-cyclical buffer, Howard Mustoe writes:

the extra funds needed will represent £10bn across UK banking, and banks will have to make profits or sell bonds or shares to fill that hole.

surely a lot of this has been covered by Standard Chartered's fundraising? As a long, I hope that today's news signposts long-term recovery, similar to christh above.
