There should be banking M&A, we must prepare, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Deutsche Bank sees the logic that there should be consolidation in the European banking sector and the task in hand is to prepare for that outcome, Chief Financial Officer James von Moltke said on Thursday.

Hewing closely to the German bank‘s standard line on potential mergers, von Moltke told a financial conference hosted by BofA Securities that it should first complete a strategic overhaul before contemplating major deals.

“We see the industry logic that there should be consolidation in European banking,” he said in response to a question.

“It’s something that we see in the future for our company… Our focus on transformation is what we need to do to prepare for that eventuality.”

Deutsche Bank has been repeatedly linked to a possible tie-up with a leading Swiss bank, but Chief Executive Christian Sewing has consistently said that a turnaround plan he launched in 2019 should first bear fruit.

The bank last year posted its first full-year profit since 2014 and got a lift last month from a ratings upgrade by Moody’s.

Von Moltke said that Deutsche’s four business units – asset management and its private, corporate and investment banks – were performing at or ahead of plan. That put it on track to hit a goal of generating revenue of 25 billion euros ($29.3 billion) or more in revenue next year.

Commenting on a U.S. investigation into asset management arm DWS’s use of sustainable investment criteria, von Moltke said that it “stands by its disclosures”.

“We will have to go through the process of those investigations,” he said, adding that he did not see the probe having a measurable impact on Deutsche’s third-quarter results.

Who should consider?

Who should consider?

Before investing in conservative hybrid funds, make sure you know what your financial goals are, and only invest if the scheme has the potential to help you accomplish them. The conservative hybrid fund invests in the stock market. They invest in equities, even if it is only a little component of their portfolio. And, as we all know, profits on stock investments are never assured. As a result, keep track of your fund’s performance at regular intervals and rebalance your portfolio as appropriate. Check the past performance of any plan before investing. Check the fund’s expenditure ratio and whether it is operated by a respected asset management company.

In India gold rates on Sept 23, have dropped marginally, as the US Fed Chairman Jerome Powell sounded optimistic at the end of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting about the USA’s economic recovery. 22 carat gold price is quoted at Rs. 45,300 and 24 carat gold is quoted at Rs. 46,300 per 10 grams. Both 22 carat and 24 carat gold have fallen by Rs. 60/10 grams. The international gold market is not going through a good time, reflecting the same trend in India. Today the Comex gold future dropped by 0.40% at $1771, while the spot gold market gained by only 0.12% at $1771/oz, at 4.25 EDT. US dollar index, on the other hand, fell by 0.29% today. The Mumbai MCX gold in October future also fell by 0.65% at Rs. 46,370/10 grams today till noon.

Indian Gold Rates Drop By Rs. 60 On Sept 23, Post US FOMC Meeting

Gold rates in different Indian cities are quoted differently, daily. Today’s gold rates in major Indian cities follow:

City 22 carat (INR/10 Grams) 24 carat (INR/10 Grams)
Mumbai 45,300/- 46,300/-
Delhi 45,750/- 49,900/-
Bangalore 43,600/- 47,560/-
Hyderabad 43,600/- 47,560/-
Chennai 43,880/- 47,870/-
Kerala 43,600/- 47,560/-
Kolkata 45,900/- 48,600/-

Today US Fed Chair Jerome Powell commented to the press that they might start tapering but the timeline will be mentioned in the net meeting. The next FOMC meetings will be organized in November and then the timeline will be published. He said a very gradual taper can start that will conclude in the middle of next year, in 2022. Regarding the employment data, Powell sounded optimistic again as he said, “For me, it wouldn’t take a knock-out (August) employment report. It would take a reasonably good employment report for me to feel like that test is met. I don’t personally need to see a very strong employment report. Again it’s not to be confused with the test for (rate) liftoff, which is so much higher.”

The central bank also stated that they are keeping the interest rate the same now, at near zero. But this can increase to 1.8% in 2024. The impacts of the Covid pandemic on the economy are expected to mitigate by then. It proves that the Fed is not very certain about the interest rate hike very soon. But they are thinking seriously about tapering, which will negatively impact gold rates. Hence, after 2 months, gold rates can fall again globally and in the Indian cities. It will be a good time for buyers to invest then.
