Wells Fargo (WFC) CFO says given that "we are modestly" asset sensitive, expects Q4 NII, excluding markets, to benefit from higher interest rate environment Anthropic is reportedly set to disclose new revenue numbers to investors ahead of the anticipated S-1, CNBC reports citing sources Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov says that the next round of consultations between Russia and the US may take place before the end of the year; there is no specific agreement on a trilateral meeting on Ukraine, IFX reports On the Newsquawk feed at 14:33 , 20 minutes before this page. Guidance of this kind from a large US bank finance chief fits a well-worn pattern: institutions that describe themselves as asset sensitive are signalling that their balance sheet reprices loans and securities faster than deposits, so a higher rate path lifts net interest income even as funding costs grind up. The qualifier 'modestly' matters: the largest money-centre banks have typically flagged only low single-digit sensitivity, since deposit repricing, hedge programmes and balance sheet runoff blunt the headline benefit, and past cycles have repeatedly shown actual NII landing softer than the static sensitivity tables implied. The exclusion of markets revenue is standard housekeeping, stripping out the volatile trading-linked component so the guidance reads on the core spread book. What has historically moved the stock more than the direction of such comments is the interaction with deposit costs and balance growth, and whether guidance implies a peak in NII or continued expansion, since the group has tended to de-rate once NII is perceived to have crested. The follow-ons are the formal quarterly print, any update to the full-year NII framework, and the rate path assumption management embeds in it.
