Exclusive: US Fed has told big banks not to push back aggressively on new capital rules

Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman told big bank executives she does not expect another aggressive industry pushback for further capital relief. The comment points to ongoing regulatory tension around bank capital requirements, but it is largely a procedural update rather than an immediate policy change. Market impact is likely limited unless it signals a broader shift in the Fed's stance on capital rules.
