In this, the fourth of several short insights in our Yes Bank Deposit Run Anniversary Series, we adjust Liquidity Coverage Ratios (LCR) for anticipated cash inflows which may not materialize in the current COVID-19 environment. We then append this result to deposits that are not captured in LCR reports derive a COVID-19 adjusted LCR.LCRs are based on a set of assumptions which may not prove to be valid during periods of stress, as recently occurred at <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/yes-bank-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:767:1" rel="noopener">Yes Bank (YES IN)</a>. One of the many assumptions is that cash inflows from performing loans can offset projected deposit outflows in a stressed situation. However, in an environment of widespread payment moratoriums or interest-only repayments, projected cashflow may be materially overstated. This could result in misleadingly higher LCR ratios. At the same time, some banks report non-lending related cash inflows at higher levels than projected loan-related amounts. This is surprising. As such, we remove all cash inflows to derive a cash inflow adjusted LCR. We also incorporate deposits that are not captured by the LCR report to derive a COVID-19 stressed LCR ratio and assess this ratio to see if this is priced-in from a credit perspective.Approximately one-year ago, India-headquartered Yes Bank began to experience a silent run on its deposits. To mark this inauspicious anniversary, we undertake a series of short insights to determine if the funding and liquidity lessons from Yes Bank are being applied at India-headquartered banks. Spoiler alert: they are not.As we noted in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/india-bank-deposit-flight-risk-lessons-from-yes-bank" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:37617" rel="noopener">Lessons from Yes Bank</a>, India-headquartered bank funding franchises are more sensitive to potential deposit flight than displayed in their quarterly financial presentations. With an undue focus on the levels of current, savings and time deposits, the discussion neglects crucial factors which lead to a stable deposit franchise. At the same, undue reliance on Liquidity Coverage Ratios is not warranted as per recent experience.In our first insight, we derived the amount of stable deposits at each major India-headquartered bank and determined if a stable deposit franchise is priced-in, from a credit perspective.

India-Headquartered Banks: COVID-19 Adjusted Liquidity Coverage Ratios

The risk-on wave caught a bid in Asia high yield markets this week while positive momentum in US Caa-rated credits slowed. Asia’s outperformance was likely due to more encouraging news out of China. Top financial regulators in China stated that they would provide reasonable and sufficient liquidity as they handle a recent series of corporate credit defaults.In the US, the lowest rated Caa-component continued to rally on expectations that a meaningful economic restart will be brought forward. Positive reactions to vaccine news have grown steadily smaller as favorable outcomes are increasingly priced into the markets. The question is whether a complete re-opening of the global economy is fully priced. We re-iterate that the vaccine and election outcome news appear to be fully priced. We have full bull. It may be time to sell the vaccine and the goldilocks election result via the Caa tranche.Optimism surrounding the planned designation of former Fed Chairperson Janet Yellen as the new Treasury Secretary fueled Treasury market moves. Investors were relieved that President-elect Biden is choosing market-friendly moderates to fill his cabinet positions, rather than more socialist bent progressives. The choice of Janel Yellen as Treasury Secretary was particularly welcome by bank investors both due to her prior experience and because Biden did not choose Elisabeth Warren for the role. Nonetheless, Senator Warren's antagonism of the financial industry may gain weight should the Senate swing to a Democratic majority in the Georgia election run-offs.Against this backdrop, Asia’s HY Senior Unsecured bank bonds outperformed, although almost all bank bond prices rose in Asia’s risk-on environment. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/vietnam-prosperity-jsc-bank" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26914:1" rel="noopener">Vietnam Prosperity Bank (VPB VN)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/iifl-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:20197:1" rel="noopener">IIFL Finance (IIFL IN)</a>, a non-bank finance company headquartered in India, led this performance, tightening by 45 basis points (bps) and 49bps, respectively. We suspect that the tension between vaccine news and Coronavirus contagion will increase volatility amongst higher yielding bank bonds although we anticipate downward sloping saw-tooth spread tightening over the near term.   Amongst Asia’s Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds, the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-of-east-asia-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:341:1" rel="noopener">Bank of East Asia (BNKEA)</a> complex continued to outperform, with the 2024 and 2022 first call bonds tightening by 29 and 24bps, respectively.

Finally, amongst Asia-centric banks, certain <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/standard-chartered-plc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:193:1" rel="noopener">Standard Chartered (STAN LN)</a> bonds have greatly outperformed over the last few weeks on expectations of a potential tender offer by the firm to buy-back the securities.

Concerns that the recent surge in bullish sentiment raises the question of whether it is sustainable or if a correction may be around the corner, possibly with the final approval of various vaccine treatments.

Bank Credit Weekly: Play Safe in Asia or Ride the US Bull?

In this, the third of several short insights in our Yes Bank Deposit Run Anniversary Series, we incorporate deposits that are not captured in Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) reports to clear the miasma of really occurred at <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/yes-bank-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:767:1" rel="noopener">Yes Bank (YES IN)</a>.LCRs are based on a set of assumptions which may not prove to be valid during periods of stress, as recently occurred at Yes Bank. One major assumption is that only deposits which may be withdrawn on demand, or within the next 30 days are at risk of deposit flight. Only these deposits are captured in the LCR report. As such, we incorporate deposits that are not captured in LCR reports and compare these missing deposits to deposit costs.
