Fed may loosen capital and liquidity rules, Andrew Ackerman reveals
Fed faces potential capital rule cuts

Fed Governor Bowman showed little visible reaction to Barr's long dissent, but responded with a smirk when Barr concluded by alleging the Fed is proposing to materially weaken bank capital requirements, potentially loosen liquidity rules, and cut its supervisory staff by 30 percent.

Andrew Ackerman described the exchange, highlighting the possible shifts in regulatory policy and staffing within the U.S. central bank's supervision structure.

The Fed's internal discourse on capital adequacy and supervisory staffing reflects growing uncertainty over the direction of U.S. financial regulation. Such debates recall recent developments, including proposals to decrease capital at the largest banks—an issue examined in detail in Ackerman's analysis of regulators' plans to adjust capital standards. Broader market responses to regulatory shifts also remain in sharp focus, as evidenced by significant movements such as Netflix's after-hours surge alongside Paramount Skydance, underscoring the persistent interplay between policy, oversight, and market performance.
