SpaceX stock steadies as Wall Street delivers bullish coverage

SpaceX's SPCX has traded for about three weeks and sits roughly at its debut price, even after a roughly 5% drop today. A wave of bullish initiations from major banks (JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bernstein, RBC, Macquarie and others) with targets up to $300 per share signals strong confidence in SpaceX’s multi-segment moat—launch economics, a large LEO satellite network, and AI compute opportunities—across launch, connectivity, and orbital data centers.

Trump's Iran Sanctions Reversal Could Undo Decades of Curbs

The Trump administration is pursuing a broad unwind of Iran sanctions as part of a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, including a 60-day waiver window and a General License X to allow oil payments in US-dollar-denominated funds. Banks face complex compliance challenges and heightened risk aversion as they navigate the patchwork of new permissions and old restrictions. hawks push for escrow-like controls to ensure funds don’t flow to proxies, while legal and congressional hurdles—such as Iran-related reporting laws and questions about permanent removal—mean the unwind could be fragile and contingent, risking a flare‑up if the deal falters.

Treasury widens bank reporting rules to flag potential undocumented workers

The U.S. Treasury expanded bank reporting guidelines to allow banks to flag potential undocumented workers through Suspicious Activity Reports, arguing banks should identify risk and report illicit activity while remaining non-authoritative on immigration. Critics warn it could push undocumented individuals out of the financial system since banks haven’t historically collected citizenship data, potentially chilling banking access. Proponents say the move targets fraud and strengthens financial-system safety, though experts note the real scope and impact remain uncertain, with studies suggesting only a small share of mortgages have ITIN recipients.

Big US Banks Plan Tokenized Deposits as Counter to Crypto Startups

The four largest US banks—JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America—are collaborating through Clearing House to launch a tokenized deposit network that would issue digital versions of customer deposits, likely within traditional banking regulation and possibly on private/permissioned networks. The move is framed as a response to the rise of dollar‑backed stablecoins and ongoing crypto regulation discussions (Clarity Act), with JPMorgan already operating private platforms (Kinexys) and JPM Coin on Coinbase’s Base. The exact technical structure remains to be seen and will depend on final regulatory language.

U.S. Regulators Remove Reputation Risk from Bank Supervisory Guidance

The Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC jointly updated interagency documents to remove references to reputation risk, continuing their prior actions to end its use in supervision. Regulators say reputation risk can be misused to pressure banks over constitutionally protected beliefs or activities, and the updates aim to base supervisory decisions on material financial risks with greater clarity, with potential further document revisions as needed.

Iran War Sparks Billions in Profits Across Oil, Banks and Defense

The Iran war and Hormuz disruptions have boosted energy volatility and prices, lifting profits for European oil majors (BP, Shell, TotalEnergies) and boosting bank trading revenues; defense contractors report strong demand and backlogs as governments replenish stocks. Renewables firms like NextEra, Vestas and Orsted benefit from a push toward cleaner energy, with solar, heat pumps and EV demand rising as households face higher fuel costs.

HSBC’s Q1 revenue climbs, but pre-tax profit misses estimates on higher credit losses

HSBC reported a first-quarter pre-tax profit of about $9.4 billion, below consensus estimates (~$9.59B), even as revenue rose 6% to $18.62 billion on stronger wealth and fee income. The bank flagged higher expected credit losses of $1.3 billion (up $400 million year-over-year) tied to UK sponsor exposure and a weaker macro outlook amid the Middle East conflict. Net interest income rose 8% to $8.9 billion, with costs up 8% as inflation and scheduling pressures weighed. Annualised RoTE stood at 17.3%, but management warned that adverse Middle East developments could push RoTE below 17% in 2026. The board approved a 10-cent interim dividend for 2026 and HSBC reiterated its plan to cut costs by $1.5 billion annually by 2026, alongside about $0.5 billion in Hang Seng Bank-related pre-tax revenue and cost synergies by end-2028 after Hang Seng’s privatization completed. Hong Kong shares fell roughly 3.7% following the results.

Q1 Bank Earnings Spotlight Modest Private Credit Exposures

Bank earnings materials reveal private credit exposures to nonbank financials. Citi notes corporate private credit warehouse financing of about $22 billion. Overall, private-credit exposure is small relative to total loan books and is focused on investment-grade, upper-middle-market borrowers. Notable risk sectors include business services, software, and healthcare, with BDCs among counterparties showing varying exposure. Banks view private credit as mainly an institutional, long-term opportunity, though sector scrutiny remains and some retail exits are noted.
