US Equity Investors to Focus on Banks Kicking Off Q2 Earnings, Warsh's Take on Inflation, Worsening Geopolitics This Week

US equity investors will focus on Q2 earnings this week, with big money-centre banks kicking off the earnings season in earnest, and consumer price inflation data amid an escalation of tensions with Iran.* JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citibank (C), Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Wells Fargo (WFC) are among banks reporting quarterly earnings, with investors expecting results to help counter tense geopolitics. ASML (ASML) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) are among the others reporting, giving investors a fresh take on the state of the so-called AI trade.* Investors will look out for consumer and wholesale price inflation data amid the market pricing in at least one interest rate increase this year. Additionally, Federal Chair Kevin Warsh's testimony is due, alongside retail sales, Michigan consumer sentiment, and inflation expectations.* The combined probability that rates will be higher by 25 or 50 basis points from current levels by December is around 70%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Investors will parse Warsh's testimony, which comes amid a worsening geopolitical environment and higher crude oil prices. Fed's June meeting minutes, released last week, showed "quite a divide" on the rate path given the impact of the war in Iran on inflation, a Stifel note said on Friday.* The US and Iran each asserted Monday they controlled the Strait of Hormuz after a weekend of attacks stretching across the wider Middle East, further threatening any diplomacy to end the war, the Associated Press reported early Monday.* Iran and the US are nearly at the midway point of a 60-day period that was supposed to result in a permanent end to the war, the news report said. Instead, it has devolved into a series of attacks over the strait and its future, worrying world leaders that the Iran war could fully resume, it added.* Early Monday, West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures jumped 3.4% to $73.87 a barrel.

China's Gas Storage Expansion to Create Structural LNG Demand, JP Morgan Says

China's efforts to expand its natural gas storage capacity are set to create strong structural demand for global LNG, according to J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) analysts.Speaking at the bank's LNG Speakers Series webinar on Thursday, Parsley Ong, J.P. Morgan's head of Asia Energy and Chemicals Equity Research, said Beijing's push to strengthen energy security will require continued injections into newly built storage facilities, supporting gas demand even as broader consumption growth slows."There is one part of demand that will be there regardless of what the price is, and it's a mid-to-long term structural trend. And that is demand for gas storage," she said.Ong noted that China had already increased storage capacity under its 14th five-year plan, with current storage capacity amounting to about 8% of its 2025 annual gas consumption.The country now plans to raise this ratio to 13% by 2030, which, according to Ong, implies an annual incremental gas demand of between 3.5 billion and 5.0 billion cubic meters to fill the additional storage.Meanwhile, JPMorgan expects China's overall natural gas demand growth to slow to just 1% in 2026, down significantly from earlier forecasts, amid weaker economic activity and fuel substitution following disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict.Nonetheless, Ong expects the expansion of strategic storage to turn the tide for China's natural gas import momentum, which is expected to decline by 10.8% this year.

JP Morgan Sees Higher TTF, JKM Prices in Q3, Remains Bullish on Q4

Analysts at J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) expect European and Asian natural gas prices to rise in Q3 as Europe competes with Asia for LNG cargoes to replenish storage ahead of winter.Speaking during J.P. Morgan's LNG Speakers Series webinar, vice president Otar Dgebuadze said the bank also remains bullish on gas prices in Q4, as current European prices were insufficient to attract cargoes by outbidding Asian buyers."We expect prices to go higher for a simple reason that Europe will need to outbid Asia, and we don't see it happening at the 45 euros ($51.40) price level," he said.The Dutch Title Transfer Facility benchmark will average 55 euros ($62.87) per megawatt-hour in Q3, with the Asian Japan-Korea Marker benchmark expected to follow suit, according to the bank's forecasts.J.P. Morgan also remained bullish in its outlook for Q4, while noting that it would largely depend on Qatari LNG supply, weather conditions and the strength of El Nino-related demand.Dgebuadze also warned that if the bank's outlook for Q3 did not materialize, it would mean that European natural gas inventories were set to end the injection season with critically low storage.

Major US Banks' Second-Quarter Earnings Poised for Upside, BofA Says

Major US banks could top second-quarter earnings expectations amid gains from capital markets activity, with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) seen as having the "most interesting" setups heading into the results, BofA Securities said Tuesday.JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Citigroup (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), State Street (STT), and Northern Trust (NTRS) may also raise their guidance for the second half of the year and 2027, the brokerage said. Several mega-cap banks are scheduled to release their quarterly results next week.BofA revised its second-quarter earnings-per-share estimates for the eight banks by 1.8% on average, indicating year-over-year growth of 27%."Capital markets should drive EPS beats, but it is the non-capital markets results that are more likely to drive stock price action," BofA analyst Ebrahim Poonawala said in a note to clients. "While (Wall) Street tends to look past trading/investment banking beats, potential for positive net interest income revisions and stronger wealth management flows likely get rewarded despite a high bar."JPMorgan and Wells Fargo have the "most interesting" setups heading into the latest prints, according to the note.JPMorgan's stock offers "the most asymmetric risk/reward," BofA said. The brokerage revised its second-quarter EPS estimate for the banking giant to $5.59 from $5.48 amid robust capital markets revenue growth. BofA raised its price target on the stock to $408 from $362.For Wells Fargo, the brokerage continues to expect second-quarter EPS of $1.72. It raised its price target on the lender's shares to $102 from $95. BofA, however, said investors must regain confidence that Wells Fargo can deliver superior growth without materially deviating from its 17% to 18% ROTCE guidance.Citigroup's stock is discounting a "significant" improvement in its return on tangible common equity, which could lead investors to seek better entry points for the stock, BofA said. The brokerage is now projecting second-quarter EPS of $2.65 for the bank, up from $2.60 previously. BofA raised its price target on the stock to $176 from $170.For Goldman, the brokerage now expects second-quarter EPS of $14.11, up from $13.18 previously. BofA boosted its price target on the stock to $1,150 from $1,050. "While there is little disagreement on the strong revenue backdrop for (Goldman), we believe investors will need to gain confidence in EPS/ROE defensibility, in order to gain comfort in holding the stock following the (year-to-date) outperformance," Poonawala said.BofA raised its second-quarter EPS forecast for Morgan Stanley to $2.81 from $2.71, also citing stronger capital markets revenue growth. The brokerage lifted its price target on the shares to $250 from $225.Price: $337.84, Change: $+0.11, Percent Change: +0.03%

Banks Set for Second-Quarter Profit Growth Amid Net Interest, Noninterest Income Gains, RBC Says

US banks are expected to report double-digit growth in second-quarter core earnings, buoyed by factors including net interest revenue and core noninterest income, RBC Capital Markets said in a Wednesday note.RBC is projecting a 19% annual jump in banks' median core earnings per share from a year earlier.

The brokerage assumes 9.5% loan growth, driven by commercial and industrial, as well as consumer loans.Provision for credit losses is expected to fall 2.2% annually."Credit losses should remain manageable in the (second quarter) and we expect that trend to continue into (year-end) 2026," Cassidy said.JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), Citigroup (C) and Morgan Stanley (MS) are projected to report a 15% jump in market revenue and a 25% surge in investment banking.RBC's 12-month outlook on banks continues to be positive amid expectations for stronger loan and NII growth.Bank earnings, including results from Wells Fargo (WFC), are due out mid-July.Price: $329.42, Change: $+2.09, Percent Change: +0.64%
