Check Out What Whales Are Doing With Citigroup

Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by 50 basis points at its September Federal Open Market Committee meeting, lowering the federal funds rate in the range of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead" rel="noreferrer noopener">4.75%-5%</a>.
The Fed also hinted at the potential for additional cuts in the coming months, with the updated dot plot revealing a more aggressive rate-cutting trajectory than <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40965372/fed-delivers-large-interest-rate-cut-in-bid-to-sustain-labor-market-stocks-gold-set-new-record-h" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecasted in June</a>.
Morgan Stanley economists anticipate an additional 150 basis points of rate reductions by mid-2025, with the U.S. economy steering clear of a recession.
Morgan Stanley highlights the banks expected to see the greatest net interest margin (NIM) expansion or compression through the end of 2025, based on the projection that short-term rates will decrease by 200 basis points.
Midcap banks are in a stronger position as they experienced greater pressure on deposit costs (higher deposit betas) when interest rates increased. They anticipate this pressure to ease at a similar pace as rates fall.
Also, midcap banks hold more fixed-rate assets that were issued when rates were much lower in 2021 and 2022, allowing for higher repricing even as rates decrease coupled with lower liquidity requirements.
For midcap banks, the analyst identifies Prosperity Bancshares Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PB#NYSE">PB</a>), rated Overweight, as offering the best risk-reward profile. The firm is expected to experience one of the largest net interest margin (NIM) expansions through the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by the upward repricing of fixed-rate loans and securities.
Similarly, Cadence Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CADE#NYSE">CADE</a>), newly rated Overweight, is projected to benefit from a significant rise in NIM as deposit costs decline. It has minimal exposure to floating-rate loans and net cash, which tend to weigh on earnings when interest rates drop.
While M&amp;T Bank Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>), the analyst&#8217;s top pick, ranks in the middle of the group, Morgan Stanley writes that future rate cuts will slightly boost NIM—a view that contrasts with the broader market consensus, which sees rate cuts as a long-term negative for margins.
Rate cuts are advantageous for the seven major large-cap banks sensitive to liabilities. These money center banks also have significant revenue exposure to capital markets, likely boosting fee income growth in a low-rate, soft-landing scenario.
Morgan Stanley expects this environment to strongly support M&amp;A and Equity Capital Markets (ECM) activity. Additionally, lower rates are generally a credit positive for the banking sector.
For large-cap banks, Morgan Stanley holds an Overweight rating on Citigroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), citing expectations for a rebound in capital markets revenues amid a lower-rate environment and a sharp increase in buybacks following the Basel Endgame reproposal.
Regions Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>) and U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>) are favored due to their liability sensitivity and commercial and industrial loan growth potential to accelerate post-rate cuts.
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) is highlighted for its strong excess capital levels and the possibility of progress on lifting its asset cap, which could favorably tilt the risk-reward outlook.

Smart Money Is Betting Big In Citigroup Options

Citigroup Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>) plan to expand in China has met a snag with the U.S. regulators after the Federal Reserve imposed a penalty on the bank related to its data management and risk controls, per a Bloomberg report.
The bank is currently awaiting a clearance letter from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is required by Chinese authorities to verify Citigroup&#39;s regulatory standing. Without this letter, the bank cannot proceed with its plans to set up a standalone securities firm in China.
The difficulties arose when Citigroup was fined $136 million in July 2024 for failing to address its data management issues adequately. The regulators stated that Citigroup made &quot;insufficient progress&quot; in dealing with the issues identified in 2020, which required Citi to fix these issues in its enterprise-wide risk management, compliance risk management, data governance and internal controls.
These fines complicated C&#39;s ability to comply with China&#39;s licensing requirements, making its path to expansion more challenging.
However, according to a Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter, the bank remains actively engaged in discussions with China&#39;s securities regulator regarding its application for the new business and has no intention to withdraw its application.
<h2>Citigroup&#39;s Prior Regulatory Issues</h2>
Apart from the fine levied on the bank in July, Citigroup has been facing some other regulatory scrutiny as well. In August, the bank made the headlines for repeatedly breaching the Federal Reserve&#39;s Regulation W, which limits intercompany transactions. Those breaches led to discrepancies in the company&#39;s internal liquidity reporting. This was reported by Reuters, citing an internal company document.
In May, Citigroup was fined $78.4 million by a pair of British regulators due to the bank&#39;s deficiencies in the systems and controls. These flaws led a trader to make an inputting error that caused a flash crash in May 2022. The penalty amount consisted of &pound;27.8 million from the Financial Conduct Authority and &pound;33.9 million from the Bank of England&#39;s Prudential Regulation Authority.
In June, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) stated that they had observed shortcomings in the &lsquo;living wills&#39; of Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gs#NYSE">GS</a>). Per agencies, the shortcomings raise doubts about their plan&#39;s feasibility. JPM had minor problems that the Fed and the FDIC found, claiming that its systems for unwinding specific derivatives trades had not been thoroughly tested. GS was criticized for not providing &lsquo;trade-level&#39; details on its derivatives transactions.
The FDIC chastised Citigroup, stating that the bank&#39;s resolution plan was either not credible or would not enable a smooth bankruptcy process following U.S. laws. Apart from the problem with its derivatives portfolio, the regulators stated that the company had neglected to address concerns regarding its &quot;resolution data integrity and data management issues.&quot;
These ongoing regulatory litigations and penalties are significant obstacles for the bank, potentially increasing costs and impacting bottom-line growth.
Over the past six months, shares of C have gained 2% compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 8.8%.

Citigroup's China Expansion Plans Stalled Amid Regulatory Probes

Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) shares are trading slightly higher on Monday. 
The company&#8217;s expansion plans in China have reportedly encountered a setback with U.S. regulators after the Federal Reserve imposed a penalty on the bank for issues related to data management and risk controls, reported Bloomberg. 
Notably, in July, the U.S. bank regulators, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) fined&nbsp;Citigroup&nbsp;$135.6 million for failing&nbsp;to<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39735239/fed-penalizes-citigroup-136m-for-data-management-failures" rel="noreferrer noopener"> comply with a 2020 enforcement action</a>.
The report highlighted that the bank is experiencing delays in establishing a standalone securities firm because it has not yet received a clearance letter from the Fed, which is necessary for Chinese authorities.
In a statement to Bloomberg, the bank said it cannot comment on its conversations with regulators regarding the ongoing process of receiving a securities license in China.&nbsp;
It was reported in January 2024 that the bank planned to launch its fully-owned China investment banking unit by the close of this year and aims to recruit approximately&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36488201/citi-reportedly-plans-to-launch-wholly-owned-china-unit-amid-economic-slowdown-is-the-risk-worth" rel="noreferrer noopener">30 individuals for the venture</a>.
The team was expected to grow in the coming years with a combination of local hires and transfers from Hong Kong and other markets.
Citigroup has been under scrutiny for its inadequate progress in addressing data management problems identified in the 2020 enforcement action.
In 2020, the bank was fined $400 million for ongoing deficiencies in risk management and data quality controls.

The firm is reportedly negotiating to make Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) its exclusive credit card partner, ending its long-standing partnership with Barclays PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCS#NYSE">BCS</a>), which dates back to the airline&#8217;s 2013 acquisition of US Airways, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/20/american-airlines-credit-card-talks-to-pick-citigroup-over-barclays.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> CNBC.
In March, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-04/american-air-wants-more-credit-card-revenue-from-bank-partners?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">noted</a> that the airline is renegotiating its contract for co-branded credit cards to increase its share of a vital revenue stream for U.S. carriers.
A spokesperson for Citigroup informed CNBC that the company is continually collaborating with its partners, including American Airlines, to find opportunities to enhance customer products and promote shared value and growth.

Shares of companies in the broader financial services and banking sectors are trading higher amid overall market strength following the Fed's rate cut, which could drive a rise in spending and lending demand.

In an aggressive start to its monetary policy easing, the Federal Reserve cut the interest rates by 50 basis points, bringing the fund rates to the 4.75-5% range.
This marked the end of an era of aggressive interest rate hikes to tame &quot;persistent&quot; inflation. The central also indicated two more rate cuts this year, which will bring the Fed funds rate down to 4.4% in 2024.
Following the announcement, the markets&#39; reaction was subdued, and all three major indexes ended in red on Wednesday. On the other hand, indexes related to banks, including the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index and the S&amp;P Banks Select Industry Index closed in green.
The interest rate cut is a positive development for banks like Bank of America (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>) and Comerica (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cma#NYSE">CMA</a>). Banks have been reeling under increasing funding cost pressure. Though higher rates led to a significant jump in banks&#39; net interest income (NII), the same resulted in increased funding costs, which squeezed the net interest margin.
As interest rates come down, funding costs will gradually stabilize and then decline. Hence, this will alleviate pressure on NIM to some extent.
On the other hand, JPMorgan (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) is expected to witness a fall in NII next year. The company&#39;s president and chief operating officer, Daniel Pinto, during the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference on Sept. 10, warned about a potential decrease in the metric in 2025 because of rate cuts.
<h2>What Else Did the Fed Signal?</h2>
In addition to this year&#39;s further reduction in interest rates, the Fed officials, through its dot plot, signaled four more cuts in 2025 and two in 2026.
This will bring the interest rates close to 2.9% by the end of 2026. It is lower than the 3.1% forecasted during the June FOMC meeting. 
Fed&#39;s Dot Plot
<img alt="Federal Reserve" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/52/78412.jpg?v=538394579" />
Image Source: Federal Reserve
Additionally, the central bank came out with the latest summary of Economic Projects. Per the latest SEP data, the U.S. economy is anticipated to grow at the rate of 2% till 2026.
Moreover, the Fed officials noted that &quot;job gains have slowed and the unemployment rate has moved up but remains low.&quot; They lifted their expected unemployment rate to 4.4% for 2024 from the 4% forecasted at the last update in June.
The central bank lowered the inflation target to 2.3% for 2024 from 2.6% predicted in June.
<h2>How Will Banks Be Impacted?</h2>
Apart from the above-mentioned decrease in funding costs, lower rates mean a rise in loan demand. The lending scenario has been muted as the central bank began tightening its monetary policy in March 2022. This had been hurting banks&#39; financials immensely.
As the rates come down, loan demand is gradually expected to improve. The borrowers who have been on the sidelines because of higher rates are now expected to jump in.
Thus, banks including BAC, C, JPM and CMA are expected to benefit from a solid rebound in loan demand.
Lower rates will also result in a gradual improvement in banks&#39; asset quality as borrowers repay loans.
Nonetheless, all of these are not expected to occur immediately, and investors should not expect a total turnaround in banks&#39; financial performance, at least this year.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Citigroup

BGC Group Inc., (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGC#NASDAQ">BGC</a>) a financial services firm led by Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, plans to launch an exchange that will start trading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40423424/donald-trump-names-howard-lutnick-to-lead-transition-team-heres-what-it-means-for-crypto">secured overnight financing rate</a> (SOFR) futures on Sept. 23 on its new FMX Futures Exchange.
The SOFR is a benchmark interest rate for dollar-denominated derivatives and loans that replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in June 2023.
&#8220;I think we&#8217;re going to bring competition into the market and I&#8217;m jazzed, jazzed, jazzed,&#8221; Lutnick said in announcing the new exchange on Bloomberg Television on Wednesday.
 FMX Futures Exchange is a consortium backed by Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Barclays (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCS#NYSE">BCS</a>), Citadel Securities, Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), J.P.Morgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), Jump Trading Group and Tower Research.
On April 25, these financial services companies together bought a 26% stake in FMX for $172 million, which valued the exchange at $667 million. BGC gave the partners an additional 10% stake contingent upon them hitting certain volume targets, Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley wrote in a note on Thursday.
Moley noted that FMX&#8217;s intent is to take some of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange&#8217;s (CME) total monopoly SOFR futures, which make up 30% to 40% of CME&#8217;s interest rate derivative volumes.

&#8220;We&#8217;re going to create a break in the monopoly built by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange,&#8221; Lutnick said Wednesday. &#8220;It&#8217;s so fun and it&#8217;s so exciting.&#8221;
FMX plans to start trading U.S. Treasury futures in next year&#8217;s first quarter.
FMX is not expected to take "meaningful" market share from CME in interest rate futures until the third year after its launch, Moley said.
&#8220;However, CEO Lutnick believes FMX will have record open interest for a new exchange at the end of year 1,&#8221; he wrote.
Moley said that CME CEO Terry Duffy believes that U.S. regulations will not allow FMX to succeed, given that trades will be cleared by LCH Group, a London-based clearing house.
But Lutnick disagrees with Duffy, Moley said. As a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-recognized organization, it will be clearing trades through a U.S. subsidiary on U.S. soil.
&#8220;Bottom line, FMX has all the regulatory approvals / registrations needed to launch on September 23rd,&#8221; Moley wrote.
&#8220;And while CEO Duffy believes the U.S. government / regulators will eventually intervene and possibly block FMX's use of clearing partner LCH (which we believe would ultimately lead to FMX failing to succeed in IR futures), there is no evidence to suggest this will occur at this point in time.&#8221;
BCG Price Action: BCG Group ticked up 0.11% to $9.26 into Thursday&#8217;s early afternoon trading.

Federal Reserve ends 2013 enforcement action on Citibank, Banamex USA

With the Fed's recent rate cuts creating a ripple effect in the financial sector, undervalued stocks like Wells Fargo (WFC), Citigroup (C), and Banco Santander (SAN) are poised for a comeback. As these banks adapt through digital transformation and increased loan demand, they are well-positioned to deliver substantial gains to your portfolio. Read on… The Federal Reserve's recent rate cut to stimulate the economy could be a boon for the financial sector. By lowering interest rates, borrowing becomes more affordable, which can lead to a surge in loan demand. For banks, this means an opportunity to boost earnings, especially those heavily reliant on lending.
Given this backdrop, investors could watch under-the-radar financial stocks, Wells Fargo &amp; Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WFC/">WFC</a>), Citigroup Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/C/">C</a>), and Banco Santander, S.A. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SAN/">SAN</a>), which are poised for a strong comeback in this low-rate environment.
As per the Cognitive Market research, the global Banking and Financial Services market is anticipated to grow at a <a href="https://www.cognitivemarketresearch.com/banking-and-financial-services-market-report#:~:text=Global%20Banking%20and%20Financial%20Services%20Market%20Report%202024%20Market%20Size,7.9%25%20from%202023%20to%202030.">CAGR of 7.9%</a> by 2030, further making the outlook for undervalued financial stocks appear more promising. Market analyst <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffreymarcus/2024/09/21/whats-next-after-the-feds-big-rate-cut/">Dan Irvine</a> believes the rate cut has the potential to "stimulate investment, spur consumer spending, and reinvigorate economic activity." If the Fed continues to lower rates, banks could see more loan activity, which means more economic spending and investment.
Additionally, the financial industry is reshaping its landscape with <a href="https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/digital-transformation-banking">digital transformation</a> by incorporating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These innovations are helping banks deliver more seamless and personalized experiences, making them more adaptive and efficient in meeting the needs of modern consumers.
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at the fundamentals of these stocks:
