32、pected to be down 5% year/year (median basis); to be sure, the averages are dragged down by those banks more reliant on capital markets.

38、his is where we are in the cyclewith competitive dynamics exacerbated by (i) the strength/marketing prowess of the bigger banks,(ii) the divergence in loan to deposit ratios, translating to more pressure for those with higher loan to deposit ratios and those who compete on price alone. In terms of b

39、alance sheet positioning well have a close eye on liquidity deployment and securities portfolio mix, including duration extension. And what of the shape and level of the yield curve this too will be a focal point of conference call discussions with NIM expansion expectations tempered/compression ris

40、kincreasing.Financing demand and funding availabilityloan and deposit growth Based on the latest Fed H8 (see Figure 27), industrywide loan growth in 1Q19 is tracking up 5.5% yr/yr (compares to the 4.8% pace in 4Q18). How sustainable is the sequential quarter pick up in C&I? Deposit growth is trackin

41、g up 4.0% yr/yr (compares to the 3.2% yr/yr pace in 4Q18 and 3.5% on average for 2018); quarter to quarter, deposit growth kept pace with loan growth, but we dont expect that growth to be spread evenly (in terms of volume or price). Well be listening closely to management commentary around pipelines

42、, payoffs and the quality of loandemand.With respect to the capital markets Not quite the first quarter that we might have hoped for with capital markets revenue generation recovering, but not fully recovered and clearly not matching year ago levels. Trading was good, not greatup against challenging

43、 year over year comparisons; investment banking revenue generation was weak, but improved into quarter end, with the supporting positive of asset price increases; investor risk appetite remained weak. We reduced capital markets related revenue expectations in mid-March. Looking forward, the macro ba

44、ckdrop and with that, confidence, conviction/risk appetite and asset price support remain critical to a more constructive capital markets revenueforecast.Operating leverage realization and investment spend management Operating leverage realization has been a significant source of earnings upside ove

45、r the last year; we expect that this will continue to be the case into 2019, albeit to varied degrees. Our focus will be on our banks investment priorities and financial targetsgauging the magnitude of benefit from unit operating cost reductions and how quickly the universal banks can drive efficien

46、cy down into the targeted mid-50srange.Credit quality migration and loan loss reserve coverage. Commercial credit indicators were stable to favorable (declining default rates) in the first quarter and the consumer remains in good health. We expect no more than a modest uptick in net charge-off rates

47、; credit cost increases will tie more closely to less in the way of incremental loan loss reserve drawdowns, if not net loan loss reservebuild.Capital management and regulatory reform prospects (i) New CCAR/capital requirements/GSIB surcharge recalibrationprogress and prospectsexpect more dialogue a

55、e), low credit costs and capital returns.Figures 6 and 7 summarize the key assumptions underlying our estimates: flattish revenue growth, stable efficiency ratios, low credit costs and capital returns are driving comparisons. Underpinning our flattish revenue growth forecast (year/year and quarter t

56、o quarter): (i) NIMs flattish to 4Q18 with 1% loan growth, but the typical day count reduction in 1Q driving a modest sequential NII decline, (ii) challenging capital markets conditions: trading down 10% yr/yr; investment banking down 16% yr/yr industrywide, (iii) mortgage banking challenged, season

57、ally and otherwise. We expect the Large Cap Banks efficiency ratios to average out at 60% (ex. trust banks) as compared to 61% in 1Q18 and 59% in 4Q18; the year/year comps make more sense here given seasonality. With respect to credit. our 1Q19 estimates embed 2% sequentially (20% year/year) higher
