		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Bank of America Corporation (BAC) is again preparing to divest its international units in a bid to further streamline its operations and focus on its core businesses. This time, BofA intends to sell its international wealth management units in anticipation of receiving about $3 billion. The units on sale, which were mostly obtained by BofA from its Merrill Lynch acquisition in 2009, comprise nearly $90 billion worth of assets under management.

The day was somewhat marred by dismal economic data and news of explosion on an unknown Saudi oil pipeline. However, investors preferred the positives and the markets did finish in the green though it came down from its day’s highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.2% and closed at 12,980.30. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.6% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,374.09. The tech-laden Composite Index enjoyed strong gains of 0.7% and settled at 2,988.97. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) plunged 6.4% and settled at 17.26.

		<description><![CDATA[Foreign banks have been facing difficulties non-stop since the latest financial crisis, which triggered off as a credit issue in the sub-prime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007, and spilled all over the globe. The latest deterrents –– nagging macroeconomic issues, the European sovereign debt crisis in particular, and regulatory pressure –– also resulted in the sector’s latest under-performance. Moreover, the upcoming quarters look even worse with several negatives like asset-quality troubles, weak revenue growth, steeper costs and weak loan demand. But thanks to the worldwide regulatory reform, the sector has at least entered a transformation phase. Needless to mention, a change is yet to be felt. The sector entered 2012 with a lot less momentum than anticipated. Rising concerns related to funding and limited access to market ]]></description>

Ltd. has received approval from the China Banking Regulatory Commission. The company will launch both retail and commercial cards before the end of this year. This marks a landmark for Citigroup &#8211; the first U.S.-based bank to introduce its own credit card in China. Prior to 2008, foreign companies were only allowed to issue credit cards in collaboration with local companies. Regulators have been slow in approving foreign companies’ direct participation in this business and currently only Hong Kong-based Bank of East Asia is permitted to issue credit cards in mainland China.

		<description><![CDATA[When the world economy is reeling under the European sovereign debt crisis and ever-increasing uncertainty in the continent across the Atlantic, here’s some good news from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF has introduced a bailout fund called Precautionary and Liquidity Lines (PLL), to help the troubled Eurozone countries. For investors, this heartening announcement made on Tuesday seems like the best gift this Thanksgiving season. This brings some respite to the nervous investors and the struggling Euro zone countries including Greece, Italy, Spain and Ireland as the bailout indicates some more access to liquidity. But an analytical thinking will actually foretell an even deeper crisis that has compelled the IMF to create new liquidity lines as buffers. Furthermore, questions have been raised on the feasibility of the IMF to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The global banking industry is still a sorry sight, and its near term looks even worse with several negatives like asset-quality troubles, weak revenue growth, steeper costs and weak loan demand. But thanks to the worldwide regulatory reform, the sector has at least entered a transformation phase. Needless to mention, a change has yet to be felt. Potential threats from a deeper European debt crisis and the uncertain outlook for the U.S. economy following the rating downgrades by Standard &#38; Poor’s (S&#38;P) were quite obvious and the sector entered the second half of 2011 with a lot less momentum than was anticipated. Though the growth potential of some non-U.S. banks could be subdued due to higher reserve requirements, increased property taxes and strict lending limits as part of the regulatory ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The controversial Volcker Rule that restricts proprietary trading of U.S. banks may also be enforced on foreign banks with operations in the country, Bloomberg reported on Friday, following communication with four people familiar with the matter. The legislation is part of the Dodd-Frank Act, which significantly overhauled the U.S. financial system after the near collapse of Wall Street during the 2007–2010 recession.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) completed the sale of Litton Loan Servicing to Ocwen Financial Corp. (OCN) for $264.0 million, after getting approval from federal and New York state regulators. Goldman has been ordered by the Fed to conduct an independent review of Litton’s foreclosures in 2009 and 2010 for investigating the extent of misconduct and negligence. Moreover, Goldman agreed to let off 25% of principal balances for stressed homeowners, who are 60 days past due on mortgage payments, at a total cost of $53 million. Goldman will also reimburse some Litton home loan borrowers for illegal foreclosures at an indeterminate cost.

		<description><![CDATA[European debt concerns sent stocks down for the third-straight day after investors returned from a long weekend. The benchmarks suffered their worst three-day start this month since October 2008. This was also the S&#38;P 500’s worst start in September in five decades. However, an encouraging report on the services sector soothed nerves somewhat and partially eroded the losses. As markets extended last week’s losses on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.9% to settle at 11,139.30. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 looks to be on course for its worst quarterly loss since the last quarter of 2008, and it shed 0.7% to close at 1,165.24 yesterday. The Nasdaq Composite Index logged a 0.3% loss to finish the day at 2,473.83. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) had its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Government jobs data came in at its worst in 11 months, sending benchmarks on a downward spiral on Friday. With zero jobs being added, the markets also suffered their sixth weekly decline in seven weeks, and recessionary fears crept back to dampen sentiment. Additionally, banking giants were dealt a blow after a lawsuit filed against the big names accused them of unfair mortgage practices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost 253 points or 2.2% to settle at 11,240.26. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 2.5% and finished the day at 1,173.97. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined 2.6% and closed the day at 2,480.33. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped a good 5.9%, reflecting investor concerns.

		<description><![CDATA[Tense investors chose to raise cash ahead of the Federal Chairman’s speech at Jackson Hole and subsequently dragged the benchmarks lower, negating the effect of Warren Buffet’s $5 billion investment in Bank of America. Additionally, the jobs market painted another gloomy picture of the economy as initial claims grew. The benchmarks registered its first day of losses for the week and ended their three-day rally. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) slid 1.5% to settle at 11,149.82. The blue-chip index had initially gained 85 in the first few minutes of trading, but lost all these gains thereafter. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) lost 1.6% to close at 1,159.27.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) was sued by The Allstate Corporation (ALL), the largest publicly traded U.S. home and auto insurer. The complaint lodged claims that Goldman misrepresented documents as an underwriter in the sale of over $123 million in mortgage-backed securities from April 2006 to March 2007. Allstate alleged that Goldman issued misleading statements and omissions related to the mortgage-backed securities and has concealed risks associated with the securities. The company claims the documents used in offering the securities contained untrue statements or omissions, as to how risky the investments to be. These misrepresentations of the risks provoked investments, which have virtually no value at current levels. Allstate has filed lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. The company demands for damages, which includes ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order to improve profitability amid revenue headwinds due to a weak economy and stricter capital requirements by regulators, Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BK) announced a job cut plan on Wednesday. BNY Mellon is not the first to announce this measure; it has followed in the footsteps of many other large global banks. BNY Mellon said that it will cut about 1,500 jobs, which represents about 3% of its total workforce. The primary intention is to reduce expenses, which have been growing significantly. Though the company is also experiencing revenue growth, the rate of expense growth is higher. The bank has not yet finalized the categories of employees to be retrenched or the areas, but said that it would try to freeze hiring first to minimize job cuts. ]]></description>

Worries about the debt crisis spreading to Italy and Spain bogged down investor sentiment with additional pressure coming from fears of France losing its AAA rating. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had been feeling the heat very frequently off late and it posted its third fall of more than 500 points in five trading days. The Dow plunged 519 points or 4.6% to close at 10,719.94. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) slid 4.4% to settle at 1,120.76.

Since 2010, the banking sector has been recovering at a moderate pace from the latest financial crisis that started as a credit issue in the subprime enclave of the U.S. mortgage market in mid-2007 and spilled all over the globe.

(AIG) announced that it has priced its first secondary stock offering of 300 million shares since 2008, initiated with the US Treasury about a fortnight ago, at $29 per share, raising about $8.7 billion. The par value of these shares stood at $2.50. The share price came in close to the Treasury’s break-even of $28.72 per share, which was set to recover the government’s $47.5 billion cash investment in AIG. Moreover, according to previously laid out terms, Treasury will retain the booty raised from the sale of 200 million of stock, while AIG will raise about $2.9 billion from the sale of 100 million shares.

(ALL) has filed a federal complaint against Credit Suisse AG (CS) alleging that the latter had sold more than $231 million of toxic investments in lieu of safe investments to Allstate between 2005 and 2008, which later encountered a drastic price decline. Accordingly, Allstate now seeks justice and a penalty to recover its losses from the leading investment banker. Allstate also seeks compensation for the litigation costs and losses incurred on account of false information provided by Credit Suisse on the investment quality of the securities. Primarily, Allstate’s allegations hover around issues such as misrepresentation of facts regarding the underwriting details, owner occupancy data and loan-to-value ratios.
