Nomura Holdings Inc.'s latest attempt to revamp its international

business is falling flat with investors, who've never been so downbeat on the stock relative to global peers.

Japan's largest brokerage has dropped almost 3 percent in Tokyo trading

since Chief Executive Officer Koji Nagai unveiled a sweeping overhaul plan on April 4, bringing its six-month slide

to 23 percent. That's the second-biggest decline among major securities firms worldwide after Societe Generale SA,

outpacing even notoriously poor performers like Deutsche Bank AG. Nomura's valuation discount versus global financial

companies deepened to 58 percent this week, the widest gap since Bloomberg began tracking the data in 1999

Fwd: The Looming Bank Collapse The U.S. financial system could be on the cusp of calamity. This time, we might not be able to save it.

After months of living with the coronavirus pandemic, American citizens are well aware of the toll it has taken on the economy: broken supply chains, record unemployment, failing small businesses. All of these factors are serious and could mire the United States in a deep, prolonged recession. But there's another threat to the economy, too. It lurks on the balance sheets of the big banks, and it could be cataclysmic. Imagine if, in addition to all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, you woke up one morning to find that the financial sector had collapsed. You may think that such a crisis is unlikely, with memories of the 2008 crash still so fresh. But banks learned few lessons from that calamity, and new laws intended to keep them from taking on too much risk have failed to do so. As a result, we could be on the precipice of another crash, one different from 2008 less in kind than in degree. This one could be worse. John Lawrence: Inside the 2008 financial crash The financial...

The repo market is ‘broken’ and Fed injections are not a lasting solution, market pros warn

By Joy Wiltermuth Published: Dec 7, 2019 9:35 a.m. ET Banks prefer to keep money at Fed instead of lending to other banks Getty Images Examining $100 bills. Getty Images By Joy Wiltermuth Markets reporter The Federal Reserve's ongoing efforts to shore up the short-term "repo" lending markets have begun to rattle some market experts. The New York Federal Reserve has spent hundreds of billions of dollars to keep credit flowing through short term money markets since mid-September when a shortage of liquidity caused a spike in overnight borrowing rates. But as the Fed's interventions have entered a third month, concerns about the market's dependence on its daily doses of liquidity have grown.
