Fed chair warns shift to cutting rates may not happen quickly
HSBC reported strong first quarter results this week and announced record profits as the bank benefited from the new era of higher interest rates and the rapid reopening of China. HSBC reported profit before tax of $12.9 billion, up $9 billion compared to the first quarter of 2022, an increase of approximately 230%. HSBC also saw revenue increase by 64% to $20.2 billion which was largely driven by higher net interest income in all of HSBC’s global businesses due to interest rate rises. The strong results enabled HSBC to announce its first quarterly dividend since 2019 of $0.10 per share, as well as a share buy-back of up to $2 billion. Management announced that HSBC expects to be able to have substantial future distribution capacity for dividends and share buy-backs. Markets responded positively to this announcement, sending the share price up by approximately 4.53% last week...
