Investment banking mammoth The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) is a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and is in support market territory at 26.5% below its all-time intraday high of $275.31 set on Demonstration 12. The diversified investment banking giant Morgan Stanley (MS) is also in display market territory at 26.5% below its 2018 intraday high of $59.38, also set on Hike 12.
Why are these financial giants in the hole?
One reason is the global debt scenario! Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley likely have exposures enclosing the world. According to data from sources including the IMF, global owing totaled $233 trillion at the end of the third quarter.
Non-financial corporate answerable for totals $68 trillion. Corporations around the world including U.S. corporations convened cash via bond offerings so they could increase dividends and diminish up share buyback programs. As debts mature, they will be held by higher interest rates and wider spreads versus U.S. Treasuries.
Control debt totals $63 trillion. Many countries have dollar-denominated owing and a significantly weaker local currency, which is a dangerous combination. Dollar-debt in boonies with emerging currencies requires a conversion of more local currency. In the U.S., in dire straits now exceeds $21 trillion, but this does not include debt of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which in all probability exceeds $5 trillion. Both Goldman and Morgan Stanley are fundamental dealers and thus underwriters for U.S. government debt.
Financial sector in the red totals $58 trillion. In the U.S., the housing market has stalled, and our banking way will face waves of bad loans in several categories: mortgage for, commercial real estate, construction and development loans, student accommodations, car loans, and credit card debt. Our bigger banks have relationships with banks in arising and emerging markets.
Household debt totals $44 trillion. Biggest Street U.S.A. and small businesses are being squeezed by the money center and regional banks that require tightened their lending standards beyond the 0.25% bump for each tariff hike by the FOMC.
