The Trump administration is set to make a significant move by appointing Michelle Bowman as the new vice chair for supervision at the Fed, opening the door for potential banking de-regulation. Bowman’s recent speech hinted at reforming the Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR), which could free up trillions of balance sheet capacity for US banks. This reform would allow banks to buy more US Treasuries, potentially disrupting foreign country investments in US Treasuries. The move could have a major impact on the banking industry and the US bond market. Stay tuned for further developments.
