Major banks pass stress tests, but we are still not convinced
Market Mover
The Bank of England passes all seven major banks in the UK stress tests.
RBS & Lloyds had a few issues, but they got there in the end which is the important thing. These stress tests if in case we have a Hard Brexit and the banks are not as strong as stable as they should be, says Matt Brown. Stocks have not moved as a result as a consequence of them all passing the tests. Matt believes if one, especially RBS had failed we would have seen a drop in the market. Although they have passed, Matt and Nick are not filled with confidence!
