The Federal Reserve’s stress tests reveal that major US banks have enough capital to withstand severe economic conditions, with losses totaling over $550 billion. The banks’ common equity tier 1 capital ratio is at 11.6%, above the required minimum of 4.5%. This could support the Trump administration’s push for deregulation.
