Trump Administration Set To Ease Big Bank Rules In Major Rollback Since 2008 Crisis: Here Are The Stocks And ETFs Investors Could Consider

As Donald Trump‘s administration nears completion of a proposal to ease big bank rules, Wall Street’s megabanks are largely expected to cheer the lower supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), allowing them to hold fewer capital reserves against their assets.

What Happened: Analysts largely agree that the Trump administration's push to ease big bank rules, particularly the SLR, is a boon for banks and could stimulate broader economic growth.

Gennadiy Goldberg, the head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, told Politico that easing capital rules for the banks will free the capital to buy more U.S. Treasuries

However, Phillip Basil, Better Markets’ director of economic growth and financial stability, told Politico that lowering big banks’ capital requirements heightens financial stability risks, accusing the banking industry of exploiting recent Treasury market turmoil as a pretext to push for long-sought regulatory relief.

Meanwhile, Kepp Loeffler, the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, said that Small businesses “can win with a level playing field – ESPECIALLY combined with tax cuts and deregulation.”
