| U.S. fine on Deutsche Bank too big, damaging to stability: Dijsselbloem | -12 | 2016-10-07 15:08:45+00 | A report by the International Monetary Fund this year identified Deutsche Bank as a bigger potential risk to the wider financial system than any other global bank. REUTERS/Joshua RobertsWASHINGTON The fine proposed by the United States for Deutsche Bank is too big and undermines financial stability by pulling out capital from an institution that is trying to recapitalize and restructure, the chairman of euro zone finance ministers said. "The whole concept of too big to fail is wrong, we need to make sure they don't fail. While Deutsche Bank is now much smaller than Wall Street rivals like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, it has significant trading relationships with all of the world's largest finance houses through its 42 trillion euros worth of outstanding derivative positions. This is about making sure that every bank has enough capital to be bailed in, in case there are losses to be carried. | DB | {"Reuters Editorial"} | 844 |
| German minister accuses Deutsche Bank of making speculation its business | -16 | 2016-10-02 21:33:10+00 | The logo of Deutsche Bank is reflected in the waters of the Moskva river in Moscow, Russia, September 14, 2015. REUTERS/Sergei Karpukhin/File PhotoTEHRAN German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel accused Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) on Sunday of blaming speculators for last week's plunge in its share price when the bank had itself made speculation its business. The problems of Deutsche Bank are awkward for Berlin, which has berated many euro zone peers for economic mismanagement and taken a hard line on other EU nations giving state aid to bail out their problem banks. "I did not know if I should laugh or cry that the bank that made speculation a business model is now saying it is a victim of speculators," Gabriel told reporters on a plane to Iran, which he is visiting with a business delegation. Last week the German finance ministry moved swiftly to dismiss a report that a government rescue plan was being prepared in case Deutsche Bank was unable to raise sufficient new capital to settle litigation which includes cases dating back to its expansion before the financial crisis. | DB | {"Gernot Heller"} | 861 |

| Deutsche Bank Slumps as Investors Question Lender’s Health | -21 | 2016-09-26 00:00:00 | Deutsche Bank may be the biggest contributor to systemic risk among lenders, the International Monetary Fund said in June. Deutsche Bank also faces inquiries into legal issues including precious metals trading and billions of dollars in transfers out of Russia. Steffen Seibert, a spokesman for Merkel, told reporters in Berlin on Monday that there are “no grounds” for speculation over state funding for Deutsche Bank, adding that the government expects a “fair result” in the lender’s talks with the DOJ. That’s roughly the amount the bank had set aside for all legal disputes at the end of the first half.

They have dropped to a level not seen since the mid-1980s and are at a record low, according to some calculation methods. Deutsche Bank has been scrambling to reassure investors it has enough cash to pay a multibillion-dollar fine for alleged wrongdoing a decade ago as its shares crumbled to new lows and knocked sentiment across the banking sector.

However, matters have been complicated by a prolonged low interest rate environment, which has made Deutsche Bank investors realise it would be difficult for the bank to generate as much revenue as it did in the past.

Problems at Deutsche Bank (DB) came to a head this week. Deutsche Bank has access to as much liquidity as it needs via the European Central Bank (ECB), and has a stronger buffer than U.S. banks did in 2008 because of post-crisis regulation. " In particular, it was seen as a forum for complaints about the damage negative interest rates have done to German banks (see: Deutsche Bank). While Deutsche Bank may have the tools to cope with short-term liquidity demands, the bigger question is whether the firm can find more stable long-term footing in the current economic environment. | DB | {"Anthony Scaramucci Is Founder Co-managing Partner At Skybridge Capital Host Of Tmi Wall Street Week","Anthony Scaramucci","Www Twitter Com Scaramucci","Follow Anthony Scaramucci On Twitter"} | 820 |
